Kenyan musician and businesswoman Akothee has once again ignited heated debate online after boldly announcing that she is back on the single market.
The outspoken star shared the update on December 19, 2025, making it clear that her relationship status has changed — and so have her standards. In a no-nonsense message to potential suitors, Akothee warned that only financially stable men should even think of approaching her.
“SINGLE, but don’t hit on me if you can’t afford my lifestyle or quarter of my bills. Go find a job and a well-paying job first. There is no romance without finance. Usichanganye station,” she said.
The post quickly went viral, with fans praising her honesty while others accused her of being too harsh. However, Akothee appeared unbothered, standing firm on her belief that love must come with financial responsibility.
While Akothee was setting boundaries, many followers were more curious about Nelson Oyugi, popularly known as Nelly Oaks, her long-time partner and former manager. The two have shared an on-and-off relationship spanning over eight years, making his sudden absence from her posts impossible to ignore.
Social media users flooded the comment section with questions, speculating whether the split involves Nelly Oaks and what may have led to the breakup. So far, Akothee has not addressed his whereabouts or confirmed whether he is the reason behind her latest announcement.
