The famous Kenyan musician and actress Sanaipei Tande has given a story about how her ex-boyfriend sexually humiliated her.
Sanaipei recently opened up about her dating experiences, including the time her first boyfriend left her because he believed she wasn’t applying herself properly.
Sanaipei, who is known for her musical prowess and soft voice says she was 20 years old when she ventured into the sea of romance. She was at the peak of fame, gaining recognition as a member of the girl group ‘Sema.’
The group’s performance on Coke Studio propelled her to prominence, making her the talk of the town. However, she admits she was not quite ready to face the whirlwind of fame that was about to consume her.
The transition to a life of fame brought great pressure and unexpected responsibilities. She remembers the time when, despite being a budding star, her first boyfriend decided to end their relationship. The reason for it? He believed that she was not using her position fully.
“I was thrown into a world I didn’t understand at all, and the funny thing is that the guy I was dating who was in the music industry left me. He said I didn’t do anything with my life,” she says.
She adds: I got into a relationship with this guy for the better part of my twenties,” could share so many incidents that made me feel so useless, so worn out.”
The actress went into details of moments that exposed the fragility of her relationship. For instance, she describes the time when her car broke down, and she found herself pushing it along street kids while her partner fiddled with the gas right in front of a crowd. Such incidents left her feeling unappreciated and useless.
“There I was pushing a non-starting car with street kids as my dude tried to pump off the gas in full view of the club and revelers and everything.
“I’ve been abandoned asleep at a dead-end road by said dude after I confronted him after finding him in a situation. But it was my fault, that’s why he left me in the car,” she said.
She also disclosed about days where her partner went out clubbing without her presence, only to return in the early hours with incoherent phone calls filled with declarations of love and missing her
“The said dude would go out clubbing without me. And the only reason I would know is that I would get that slurred speech call early in the morning with declarations of I love you, I miss you, I can’t wait to see you , bring chicken wings,” she said.
She would dutifully bring him chicken wings, in an attempt to revive the relationship.
“I get to his home, say hello to the family, and up I go up the stairs with the kitchen wings. I would stay maybe an hour or two,” she said.
A great story is a demonstration that fame and fortune can come at a cost. It is important to be firm and focus on your goals, even in the face of pressure and criticism.
Tande continues to have a successful career as a singer and songwriter. She is an inspiration to many, and her story is a reminder that it is possible to overcome challenges and achieve success.
