Speaking candidly in the interview, Kemunto revealed that despite public claims that the musician used to give her a monthly “girlfriend allowance,” she actually received the money only once during the course of their relationship. Her remarks have reignited discussions about financial expectations in modern relationships, particularly among public figures.
According to Kemunto, the one-time allowance was not a major factor in their relationship. She explained that although the amount given to her was relatively small compared to what she could have provided for herself, she still accepted it because of the love she had for Iyanii at the time. The influencer noted that her feelings for the singer made her appreciate the gesture regardless of its value.
Contradiction to Earlier Claims About Monthly Support
Kemunto’s comments contrast with earlier statements from Iyanii, who had previously disclosed in interviews that he gives his girlfriend a monthly allowance ranging between KSh150,000 and KSh200,000 depending on circumstances and needs.
The singer explained at the time that the amount varied based on the partner’s needs, saying there were moments when more support was required and other times when less was necessary.
However, Kemunto’s latest revelation suggests that the arrangement may not have been as consistent as many fans believed. Her statement has fueled debate on social media, with some people questioning the authenticity of “celebrity relationship allowances,” while others say such matters should remain private between partners.
A Relationship That Drew Public Attention
Kemunto and Iyanii’s relationship attracted significant public interest from the moment it became public. The singer had introduced the influencer as his girlfriend during a public appearance, and the two often spoke openly about their relationship values.
At one point, the couple also revealed they were on a celibacy journey and intended to wait until marriage before becoming intimate, a stance that surprised many fans in the entertainment industry.
Despite the public excitement surrounding their relationship, the romance was relatively short-lived. Kemunto later confirmed that they eventually parted ways but maintained that the relationship had a positive impact on her life and personal growth.

While some supporters praised her honesty and independence, others debated whether financial expectations should play any role in romantic relationships, especially among celebrities whose lifestyles are often closely watched by the public.
The discussion continues to trend online, highlighting how celebrity relationships in Kenya frequently become a focal point for wider conversations about love, money, and modern dating.
