Kenyan comedian Arap Uria has gone public with his new relationship, introducing his current girlfriend amid swirling online conversations about his past romantic ties, particularly with the mother of his son.
In a candid statement shared online, Uria addressed speculation surrounding his personal life, stating that his decision to move on was fueled by emotional strain and what he described as persistent blackmail from his former partner.
According to the comedian, despite providing for their child, his ex-lover has been painting him in a negative light and allegedly denying him access to see his son. “I’ve done everything within my power to support my child,” Uria said, “but I’ve also endured repeated attacks and attempts to brand me a deadbeat—something that is simply untrue.”
He further claimed that during their relationship, he stepped up to support her education, even footing her university tuition after her parents declined to pay. “I gave my best—for her and our child—but what I got in return was betrayal and manipulation,” he added.
Uria’s remarks come after viral photos of him and his new partner sparked widespread online reactions. While some fans congratulated him, others were quick to bring up his past.
As many weighed in, some drew humor from the situation, warning men about taking on the financial responsibilities of their partner’s family. One online commentator noted, “Lemme tell you Maina, you’ll be enrolled at Kivumbi University without even knowing it.”
Closing his statement on a reflective note, Uria quoted a playful take on relationships: “I verily remind you, brethren, that it is difficult to separate a man and a woman who have long inhaled methane gas beneath one duvet.”
While opinions remain divided online, Arap Uria has asked for understanding and privacy as he charts a new chapter in his personal life. “May the heavens and ancestors be kind,” he wrote, sealing his statement with a blend of wit and weariness that fans have come to recognize as uniquely his.
