Legendary Tanzanian rapper Ambwene Yessaya (AY) has finally opened up about his relationship with Kenyan singer Cecilia Wairimu (Amani).
In a Tanzanian newspaper (Amani) column, AY says he had promised his fans he will spill the beans as to why his relationship with the Without You singer failed. True to his word, he did.
“I met Amani in 2005. We became close friends and later, lovers. We loved and respected each other. In 2007, we split. (Contrary to what many speculated), misunderstanding and quarrel did not contribute to the break up. The distance and expenses incurred (in making the relationship work) were the main reasons we went our separate ways. Neither I nor Amani was ready to relocate to the other’s native country; patriotism played a part in our stance,” he explained.
According to the Zigo hitmaker, Amani is fiercely patriotic: “Everyone loves his or her country; you never tell Amani anything negative about Kenya; she loves her (Kenya) very much. I am also a proud Tanzanian.”
Despite going their separate ways, AY still holds Amani in high esteem.
“I will live to respect Amani, her decisions and her choice to love another man. During our dating stint, Amani taught me something – that Kenyan women are very decisive and firm! I appreciate Amani because she never mixed business with pleasure,” he said.
“After breaking up with Amani, I got into a relationship with popular designer Asia Idarous’ daughter Dida Idarous. We dated for two years but separated due to irreconcilable ideological differences.”
However, one thing that he still desires is a family.
“With all that success God has granted me, I have never been lucky to have my own baby. It is purely out of choice though. I, however, will like to have two children once I get a worthy woman for a wife.”
