Kenyan dancehall star Elly Wee has all but confirmed his latest romance, and he has done so in the most celebrity way possible, through music.
The award-winning artist appears to have found love beyond Kenya’s borders, with his new single ‘Djibouti’ strongly pointing to a relationship with the Djiboutian fashion model.
Speculations on Elly Wee, who was crowned People’s Choice Dancehall Artist of the Year 2024, and Ayanita Moutah has been building steadily over recent weeks, fuelled by their public appearances and subtle social media hints.
The rumours gained fresh momentum after the pair were reportedly spotted together in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where they attended a high-profile fashion gala.
While such an event would naturally attract both an international model and a chart-topping musician, those close to the duo say their interaction suggested a closeness that went well beyond professional networking.
The strongest confirmation, however, has come through Elly Wee’s latest musical release.
Last last week, he released ‘Djibouti,’ a smooth and melodic track that has quickly caught fans’ attention not only for its sound, but for its leading lady.
Ayanita Moutah stars prominently in the music video, appearing as the song’s muse and romantic focal point.
For many fans, this was the final piece of the puzzle. Ayanita had previously hinted late last year that she was planning a visit to Kenya and would feature in a music video by a Kenyan artist.
Her starring role in Djibouti has now been widely interpreted as confirmation of the long-rumoured romance.
The song itself carries a personal tone, blending Elly Wee’s signature afro-dancehall sound with themes of admiration and emotional connection.
Beyond its romantic undertones, Djibouti marks a significant milestone in Elly Wee’s career.
The track serves as the lead single from his forthcoming debut album, Thesis, which is scheduled for release on January 10, 2026.
The 13-track project is already generating excitement, with a diverse and star-studded list of collaborators lined up, including Petrooz, Krugar Gush, Attara, Jave Samson, Exile the 93rd, and Gathoni.
Whether Ayanita Moutah’s influence will extend further into the album remains to be seen, but fans are already speculating that this new chapter in Elly Wee’s personal life could inspire more heartfelt material.
