Amber Ray Breaks Up With Kennedy Rapudo [SCREENSHOT]

Socialite Faith Makau, alias Amber Ray has broken up with her boyfriend, Kennedy Rapudo.

She confirmed this on Wednesday, August 24 during a Q&A session on her Instagram stories.

A fan had asked her if the couple were still together, to which the socialite denied, adding that she was tired of pretending to be in a relationship she isn't comfortable with.

“I know where it has reached, I might look like a joker but I don’t know how to pretend. If it is not working, it’s not working so love me the way I am,” she responded.

It was only just last month that Amber gushed over Kennedy saying she was enjoying being loved and has not been afraid to show it in public on several occasions.

“There’s a certain level of peace that comes with being sure about someone. Whether it’s being sure about their intentions, their role in your life, or their character… It’s freeing and comforting to know that what you see is what you get, and their actions match their words.“

Though the duo have been public with their relationship, Rapudo explained that he preferred a low-key lifestyle, preferring to confuse idlers who insinuate their own matters.

This is one of Amber Ray's failed relationships with high-profile celebrity men, both in Kenya and in other countries. She previously dated Sierra Leonean basketballer IK Kabba, who claimed after their breakup that he met Rapudo as Amber's friend.

He would later disclose that he felt cheated about his perception of her, in an explosive statement.

"A girlfriend that is not proud about herself and everything in her body is fake. I don’t think that woman was the right one to stay with. God help us this is crazy she belonged to the street trust me.

"It’s so funny because after introducing a man to me that this man is my friend all of a sudden he is your boyfriend it means you guys were effing when we were still dating, it’s crazy, fear women," Kabba said at the time.

Many would argue that Amber Ray's breakup with Rapudo is a timely one given that another one of her exes, President-elect William Ruto's ally Zaheer Jhanda, was elected the Member of Parliament for Nyaribari Chache Constituency in Kisii County in the August 9 general elections.
