If I date a successful celeb it won’t last – Iyanya

Everyone seems to want to know who Iyanya Mbuk is dating…


In a recent interview with PMNews Iyanya cleared the air on his relationship with Yvonne Nelson and Tonto Dikeh.

Reacting to the rumour that he cheated on Yvonne Nelson with Tonto Dikeh, he said “she didn’t mention my name, so I don’t know anything about it. I’ve never told anyone that I was dating her. Since you didn’t hear from me, I have nothing to do with anything that is happening. I’m cool with Yvonne. Apart from the fact that I mentioned her name in my song, she is a wonderful person.

She is one of the nicest, coolest people that I know; the same with Tonto Dikeh. They are two people I respect a lot. I appreciate their hard work and they are doing very well in their field. Yvonne is my hommie, we are cool people even till now. Tonto is my padi, we are cool.

Now here’s the best part, when asked “can you date a celeb” Iyanya replied with

“I can date anybody but the thing about dating celebs is that it would most likely not last. The only way it may last is if they are not successful. But if they are both successful, when people see them together, they would focus on them. That alone has an effect on the relationship because they won’t be free.”

Oh by the way, Iyanya says he is still single!
