Iyanii Says He Gives Girlfriend Shes Kemunto Ksh150K–200K Monthly Allowance

Kenyan singer Iyanii has lifted the lid on his romantic life, revealing that he gives his girlfriend, content creator Shes Kemunto, a monthly allowance ranging between Ksh150,000 and Ksh200,000. Speaking in a recent interview, the Donjo Maber hitmaker explained that the amount varies depending on his partner’s needs and the situation at hand.

“I give my girlfriend an allowance; ina depend,” Iyanii said. “Kuna time mahitaji ziko juu, kuna time atakuambia she doesn’t need a lot. So inaendaga ikivary range ni 150gs to 200K a month.”

How do Kenyans feel about girlfriend allowances?

The idea of giving a girlfriend a monthly allowance has become one of Kenya’s most debated relationship topics. From social media threads to entertainment talk shows, the question of whether partners should financially support each other sparks heated opinions every time it resurfaces.

Some Kenyans view the allowance as a thoughtful gesture of love and care, showing responsibility and commitment. Others, however, criticize it as an unnecessary financial dependency that often pressures relationships. Celebrities like Amber Ray and Flaqo have previously weighed in on the matter, with some defending it as a symbol of affection and stability, while others dismiss it as an exaggerated display of wealth.

What makes Iyanii’s revelation stand out?

Iyanii’s honesty about his relationship finances has drawn attention, not only for the amount but also for how openly he balances love and money. His statement comes just a month after publicly introducing Shes Kemunto during a live performance, where he paused mid-show to invite her on stage. “I didn’t come here alone; I came with my lover this season,” he told cheering fans.

His revelation follows a trend among Kenyan celebrities openly discussing their romantic generosity. Bahati once claimed he gives his wife, Diana Marua, Ksh1 million monthly, a statement that reignited debates about financial roles in relationships.

While opinions remain divided, Iyanii’s confession adds to the growing conversation about modern love, money, and how couples express care in Kenya’s celebrity scene.
