Rapper Maandy Criticizes Celebrity Trend of Having Babies for Content
Amanda Mitchelle Wambui, popularly known as Maandy Kabaya, started her career as a DJ before transitioning to full-time music in 2016 and hasn’t looked back since. She is known for her outspoken nature.
Maandy firmly believes in personal privacy, especially regarding her phone. She insists that even in extreme situations, such as a medical emergency, her phone should remain untouched. To her, going through a partner’s phone signifies a lack of trust, making the relationship feel restrictive and invasive.
Maandy: Men Find Me Intimidating, But I’m Actually a Soft Girl
On relationships, Maandy claims she is not single by choice but because men are intimidated by her. Despite this, she describes herself as a sweetheart—unless provoked.
Discussing fellow artist Willy Paul, Maandy acknowledges his undeniable talent and longevity in the industry. She admires his ability to remain relevant in Kenya’s competitive music scene, often ranking among the top trending artists on YouTube. However, she believes he allows emotions to cloud his judgment, causing people to perceive him as a joke. According to her, he needs to recognize his influence and avoid unnecessary controversies.
Regarding Size 8 and DJ Mo’s marriage, Maandy is critical of their publicized relationship. She states that if she were in Size 8’s position, she wouldn’t have accepted DJ Mo’s re-proposal after multiple public cheating scandals. She attributes their struggles partly to their open display of Christianity on social media, which she believes places undue pressure on the woman. Recalling past allegations, including infidelity and domestic violence, she expresses skepticism about celebrity relationships, suggesting that some intentionally stage breakups for attention.
She also calls out the growing trend of celebrity couples having children for content, questioning why they feel the need to repeatedly share details of each birth.
On marriage, Maandy prioritizes financial security over love. She openly states that she wouldn’t mind being a fourth wife as long as financial stability is guaranteed, appreciating the freedom such an arrangement could offer.
