AY reveals why he broke up with Amani

Mar 01, 2016

Contrary to what many speculated, misunderstandings and quarrels did not contribute to the break up

Legendary Tanzanian rapper Ambwene Yessaya (AY) has finally opened up about his relationship with Kenyan singer Cecilia Wairimu (Amani).

In a Tanzanian newspaper  column, AY says he had promised his fans he would 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), misunderstandings and quarrels 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."
