Iyanii reveals he was offered Ksh3M to lose his virginity
By Valerian Khakayi, December 14, 2025Kenya’s talented musician and songwriter Ian Okwemba Oure, widely known as Iyanii, has opened up about turning down an offer of take his virginity in exchange for money.
Speaking in a candid conversation with Mic Cheque podcast in an episode aired on Sunday, December 14, 2025, the 27-year-old musician said he is genuinely still a virgin and has no plans of changing that despite the tempting offers.
Iyanii revealed that one woman recently sent him a direct message offering him millions if he agreed to sleep with her.
He says he initially laughed it off, thinking it was a joke. However, the offers did not stop there.
“I am genuinely 27 years old and genuinely a virgin. juzi kuna dem amenidm akaniambia,’ I will give you half a million if you come and allow me to take your virginity,’ but nimekata,” Iyanii recalled.
“I just laughed about it, akaniambia. ‘I will make it double, wewe kuja and let me take away your virginity.'”
According to the singer, the woman later increased the amount, insisting she was serious.
“I was so curious nikarepond sahi tumefika place ananiambia, ‘I will give you hata Ksh3million, let me just do it,'” he added.
He further revealed that this was not an isolated incident. Iyanii claims that he has had several similar encounters with female fans, many of whom openly tell him they want to be the ones to take his virginity.
Despite the pressure, the Kifo cha mende hitmaker insists he has remained firm in his decision.
“It is so crazy, I have been meeting with my female fans kila mtu ananiambia, ‘I want to take away your virginity,’ but hii nime ikeep for the right person. I have the right person, but nilimwambia we wait till marriage,” Iyanii added.
Being a virgin
On Saturday, September 20, 2025, the ‘Donjo Maber’ hitmaker, during an interview with Alex Mwakideu, opened up about his personal life, revealing that he remains a virgin and has not been sexually intimate with his current girlfriend, Diana Kemunto, despite being in a relationship.
“I have been dating Kemunto for a week now. Since we met, it has only been a week, and my point is that when you meet the right person, you do not need a whole year to get to know each other. Before Kemunto, I was not seeing anyone sexually. By the way, I am still a virgin, and even Kemunto will agree with that. I am 27 years old, and I am serious about it,” Iyanii said.
Iyanii explained that he has maintained his virginity deliberately, having previously ended relationships with people who expected him to break it.
“The reason I broke up with previous partners was that they wanted me to lose my virginity, which I did not want to do. For now, I still do not want to. I used to tell them that I was focused on my music, and Kemunto accepted that, which is why I am dating her,” he said.
“Even 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 ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’ and end it there. I like her personality and the respect she gives me.”
