Willy Paul lists qualities he wants in a girlfriend after breakup with Ikoh Roz
By William Muthama, March 29, 2026Musician Willy Paul has wasted little time in setting fresh standards for his love life following his recent split from digital creator and dancer Ikoh Roz.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, March 29, 2026, Willy Paul made it clear that his future woman should be short and sweet. He emphasised his desire for a partner who looks up to him, rather than the reverse.
“My next woman should be short and sweet. I want a woman who looks up to me, not the other way round. Nitaje tena siku ingine nitakuambia kitu flani ujawai ambiwa,” he said.
The nature of Willy Paul and Ikoh Roz’s relationship has long been ambiguous. Rumours of a romance first emerged in late 2024 and early 2025. Things appeared to turn romantic after Ikoh Roz confirmed they were dating in 2025.
However, Willy Paul has in the past downplayed the relationship at different times, with Ikoh Roz often describing Ikoh Roz as just a good friend or collaborator and sometimes labelling their closeness as “PR tu.”
The situation escalated dramatically on Saturday, March 28, 2026, when Willy Paul posted angrily, accusing Ikoh Roz of replying to too many direct messages and showing disrespect. He told her she could not be loved properly and urged her to leave him alone.
“Kila time, ooh he’s my man, ooh he’s my ngeff ngeff. Sijui watu slim ukua na shida gani sometimes. Wewe hauezi pendeka, you reply to all DMs nkt!! Kwenda uko!!” he wrote.
Ikoh Roz fired back with her own shade, mocking Willy Paul for struggling with competition and “crying” now that she is receiving attention from others. She also took a jab at him, suggesting he could not fund her lifestyle.
“Kijana akipata competition anaanza kulia …. Sorry if you can’t fund my lifestyle,” she wrote.
