Kennedy Rapudo says his weight loss is intentional and linked to hypertension treatment.
Businessman Kennedy Rapudo has finally spoken about his noticeable weight loss, which had sparked speculation online.
In an interview with radio host Ankali Ray, Rapudo said his slimmer look is a result of lifestyle changes recommended by his cardiologist. He revealed that he has been living with hypertension and was advised to manage his weight for heart health.
“Hypertension imekuwa issue yangu kwa muda mrefu. Cardiologist Wangu aliniambia, I need to work on my weight. Ukiwa na shida za heart, lazima uangalie lipid profile na uende gym,” he explained.
The businessman admitted that his absence from social media fueled gossip. “Nimekonda wameniona wapi? Si ni vile sijaweka videos? Mtu akikonda ni shida, akinenepa pia shida. Lakini mimi niko sawa,” he said.
Rapudo also addressed rumours that he and his fiancée, social media personality Amber Ray, had parted ways. He dismissed the claims, insisting that unless such information comes from them directly, it should not be taken seriously.
“Have you heard me say we broke up? Have you heard her say so? If not, then that is what matters,” Rapudo firmly stated.
He emphasised that not everything about their relationship needs to be shared with the public. “Family is family. You cannot run to the public every time you disagree. Those are our lives, and we choose how to handle them,” he said.
