Mukami argued that their relationship was temporary and that focus can be shifted to other individuals elsewhere

Popular Kenyan singer and mother of one, Nadia Mukami on Friday, August 4 made a bold statement regarding her relationship status with her lover and co-artist, Arrow Bwoy, real name Ali Yusuf.
During an interview with Kiss FM, the Kai Wangu hitmaker claimed that she is still eligible to be with someone else as Arrow Bwoy was yet to pay the required dowry to her parents before tying the knot with her.
Not willing to mince her words, Mukami argued that their relationship was temporary and that focus can be shifted to other individuals elsewhere as a way of exploring their options before deciding whom he or she will spend eternity with.
“I am single as far as I know until the father of my child pays my dowry. It's a fact. I'm not married, he has not paid any dowry to my parents. He is with me on credit.

"I'm still in the market. We need to tell our men that if you have not paid the dowry, then one leg is here and the other is elsewhere," she said.
The singer emphasized the importance of traditional customs and the significance of dowry payment in establishing a committed relationship, adding that without the formal acknowledgement through dowry payment, she views herself as only a girlfriend, not a wife.
Mukami challenged Arrow Bwoy to see to it that the dowry he pays should be commensurate with her value in terms of the size of her brand and academic qualifications.
“He should marry me officially. I am free, and if you really want me to say I am married, you have my parent’s address. I am a lady who is very learned and is very high, and I am a brand.
"My father invested so much in me. I did not go to schools where people eat Githeri, so the dowry is high, and he needs to invest in this babe," she went on.
Back in 2022, Arrow Bwoy did an interview where he jokingly said he was planning on taking sugarcane to his in-laws as bride price.

Viral Tea takes a look at why Mukami's argument holds water. According to a past report by The Washington Post, being single doesn’t mean you’re entirely unattached and if you’re not in a committed relationship, you are probably talking to multiple romantic interests.
