Tanzanian rapper AY reveals why he quit dating

Legendary Tanzanian rapper Ambwene Yessayah, known to many as AY has revealed why he has kept off women since he broke things off with his ex-girlfriend two years ago.

Appearing on Tanzania’s Chill na Sky show, AY said he loved his ex-partner so much that it became very difficult to fall in love with a new woman after the break up.

“When I was dating my ex, I was convicted she was the right woman for me. I even told myself that if it happens we part ways, I would stay for long without getting into another relationship,” said AY.

The Mikono Juu singer further added his ex knew very well how committed he was to her.

“I told her that if it happens we break up and she stalks me on the internet to know who I’m dating, she will get zero information,” he recalled.

The musician added that he will not rush into a relationship, even if his former flame has moved on.

“She could have moved on with her life and gotten a new man, but I have to give myself time to heal. I have to make sure I am fully ready to commit to a new relationship,” he added.

The veteran artist however said their main reason for breaking up was not based on infidelity issues, but things he would not wish to disclose.

“No, we did not part ways because either party was unfaithful in the relationship,” he told Chill na Sky.

When asked whether the two are on bad terms, AY insisted that they are still friends.

“I have not cut communication with her; we talk over the phone.  Actually I even contact her mother quite often; she is my good friend,” AY went ahead to explain.

AY is highly respected by artists in Tanzania, especially in Hip Hop circles. Recently, Diamond Platnumz revealed that AY linked him up with Nigeria’s Davido and South Africa’s consummate video producer, Godfather.
