Iyanii has publicly celebrated his girlfriend Shes Kemunto with an emotional birthday message that quickly caught the attention of fans online. The Kenyan artist, whose real name is Ian Oure, took to Instagram on Thursday, January 1, 2025, to mark the special day with words that reflected admiration, respect, and deep affection.

In the post, the Donjo Maber hitmaker focused on Kemunto’s inner strength and personal journey, highlighting qualities that go beyond surface-level admiration. His message portrayed her as a woman shaped by resilience and determination, while also expressing his desire for her continued growth and happiness.

“You are an incredibly strong and beautiful woman. Every challenge you’ve faced is proof of your resilience, and I hope you always remember how powerful you are,” he wrote.

He continued by extending heartfelt wishes that touched on peace, abundance, and long term fulfillment, making the message both intimate and uplifting.

“On this special day, I wish you peace in your heart, growth in every area of your life, happiness that stays, abundance, and all the beautiful things you deserve. Enjoy your special day. You are loved and Happy Birthday,” he added.

The post resonated with many of his followers, especially young fans who have watched Iyanii evolve not only musically but also personally. His choice of words reflected a calm, intentional approach to love, one that aligns with how he has publicly described his values in recent interviews.

What has Iyanii revealed about his relationship with Shes Kemunto?

The birthday message comes months after Kemunto made it clear that she expects their relationship to move quickly toward marriage. During a YouTube interview with Alex Mwakideu, she openly stated that she did not want a long waiting period before settling down.

“You need to marry me quick… how fast? At least six months,” Kemunto stated.

Her comments drew attention because they followed Iyanii’s own candid revelations about his personal life. In an interview with Alex Mwakideu on Saturday, September 20, 2025, the singer shared details that surprised many listeners, particularly regarding intimacy and commitment.

Iyanii disclosed that despite being in a relationship with Kemunto, he is still a virgin at the age of 27 and has chosen to remain celibate until marriage. He explained that their relationship was still new at the time but already felt serious to him.

“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.”

He went on to clarify that his decision was not influenced by pressure but by personal conviction and discipline.

“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,” Iyaani said.

His admission reportedly shocked Mwakideu, who pressed him further during the interview. However, Iyanii remained firm, confidently restating his commitment to celibacy and his intention to wait until marriage.

Why has Iyanii’s celibacy journey sparked public interest?

Iyanii’s openness about his values has set him apart in an industry where personal boundaries are rarely discussed so openly. For many young adults navigating relationships, his story has sparked conversation around faith, discipline, and intentional dating.

The contrast between Kemunto’s urgency for marriage and Iyanii’s calm confidence in his choices has added another layer of interest to their relationship. Still, both appear aligned on the direction they want to take, with marriage clearly positioned as the end goal.

As Iyanii continues to share moments from his personal life alongside his music career, his birthday tribute to Kemunto stands as a reflection of where he is emotionally. It presents a relationship built on respect, clarity, and shared purpose, elements that continue to keep fans invested in their journey together.
