Kenyan musician and songwriter Ian Okwemba Oure, widely known as Iyanii, has opened up about the immense pressure and high-value financial offers he has received from female fans attempting to take his virginity.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a candid conversation on the Mic Cheque podcast<\/em> in an episode aired on Sunday, December 14, 2025, the 27-year-old artist firmly stated that he is genuinely still a virgin and intends to remain so until marriage, despite the tempting proposals.<\/p>\n Iyanii revealed that one woman recently sent him a direct message offering him a significant sum if he agreed to sleep with her. He initially laughed it off, assuming it was a joke, but the offers escalated quickly.<\/p>\n \u201cI am genuinely $27$ years old and genuinely a virgin. Juzi kuna dem amenidm akaniambia, \u2018I will give you half a million if you come and allow me to take your virginity,\u2019<\/em> but nimekata<\/em> (Recently a lady DMed me and told me, ‘I will give you half a million if you come and allow me to take your virginity,’ but I refused),\u201d Iyanii recalled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n When he initially laughed it off, she doubled down: “akaniambia. ‘I will make it double, wewe kuja and let me take away your virginity<\/em>‘ (she told me, ‘I will make it double, you just come and let me take away your virginity’).”<\/p>\n The singer explained that his curiosity led him to continue the conversation, only for the woman to raise the stakes even higher, insisting she was serious. \u201cI was so curious nikarepond sahi tumefika place ananiambia, \u2018I will give you hata Ksh 3\u00a0million, let me just do it,’\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Iyanii revealed this was not an isolated incident, claiming he has had several similar encounters with female fans, many of whom openly state their desire to be the one to take his virginity.<\/p>\n Despite the intense pressure, the Kifo cha mende<\/em> hitmaker insists he has remained firm, reserving himself for the right person.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is so crazy, I have been meeting with my female fans kila mtu ananiambia, \u2018I want to take away your virginity,\u2019 but this I have kept for the right person. I have the right person, but nilimwambia we wait till marriage (I told her we wait till marriage),\u201d Iyanii stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This commitment was first publicized on Saturday, September 20, 2025, during an interview with Alex Mwakideu. Iyanii revealed that he and his current girlfriend, Diana Kemunto, are in a chaste relationship.<\/p>\n He explained that he deliberately ended previous relationships with partners who expected him to break his vow. Kemunto accepted his terms, which is why he is dating her.<\/p>\n \u201cEven now, we are not having sex. The farthest we go physically is hugging, and even that has rules. The hug is not supposed to last more than five seconds; we just say \u2018I love you\u2019 and \u2018thank you\u2019 and end it there. I like her personality and the respect she gives me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Watch his full interview video below<\/p>\n <\/p>\nMillion-Shilling Offers and Persistence<\/strong><\/h2>\n
