Businessman Kennedy Rapudo has broken his silence on two issues that have recently fueled speculation online, his relationship with socialite Amber Ray and his noticeable weight loss.

Speaking on the gossip show Ankali Ray live, hosted by the popular radio personality Ankali Ray, Rapudo dismissed claims that he and Amber Ray had separated.

He insisted that such information could only come directly from him or Amber.

“Wewe umesingizia nikiongea tumewachana? Yeye umesikia akiongea ati tumewachana? If you have not heard from me or her, then that is important. Kama tumewachana, information might come from me or from her, so hatujazungumza wacha watu wazungumze hakuna shida,” he said.

He further emphasized that family matters should remain private, urging the public not to expect constant updates about personal disagreements.

“Mambo ya familia ni mambo ya familia huwezi kuwa ukienda public unaambia kila mtu ati tumekosana tumefanya hivi. Hiyo ni maisha yetu na hatutaki tu-involve people as far as it concerns,” Rapudo added.

On concerns about his weight loss, Rapudo explained that the changes are intentional and medically guided.

He revealed during the same interview with Ankali Ray that his cardiologist had advised him to cut weight due to his hypertension.

“Nimekonda wameniona wapi?… Mimi ni yule mtu nakuwanga na hypertension kwa hivyo have always wanted to cut weight. My cardiologist ameniambia for the longest time that I need to work on my weight because ukiwa na shida za heart… you have to go to the gym,” he clarified.

Rapudo noted that his transformation is part of a healthy lifestyle change and not a sign of illness, asking fans not to misinterpret it.
