Kenyan artist Willy Paul has sparked widespread discussion. He openly declared his decision to avoid marriage, citing deep-rooted fears about infidelity in modern relationships. The award-winning singer, famous for hits such as the wedding-themed “I Do” featuring Jamaican star Alaine, spoke candidly in a recently circulated video clip. This video has since gone viral.
“Sitaki Kuoa”: Why Willy Paul Says Marriage Is Not for Him

“Kuoa mi sitaki kuoa, sitaki kuoa”
(I don’t want to get married, I don’t want to get married.)
He explained that his fear is rooted in the increasing number of men who suffer emotional devastation after being betrayed by their spouses. According to the singer, modern romantic relationships have become too fragile and untrustworthy. This makes the risk of infidelity uncomfortably high.
