Controversial gospel artist Ringtone Alex Apoko has once again set social media ablaze after revealing that he is single and actively searching for a wife, while also insisting that he is just 27 years old.
The outspoken musician recently took to his social media platforms to announce that he is ready to settle down, outlining very specific requirements for his ideal partner.
In the now-viral post, Ringtone declared that he is looking for a born-again Christian woman who is ready for marriage and willing to have three children.
He further emphasized that he is not interested in wasting time, stating that he wants a woman who is prepared to get married within seven months.
While his relationship criteria sparked interest, it was his claim about his age that truly ignited a storm online.
Ringtone confidently stated that he is 27 years old, a revelation that many netizens found difficult to believe.
The claim quickly turned into a trending topic, with Kenyans flocking to the comments section to question, and mock his assertion.
Many users argued that the singer has maintained the same age for years, with some joking that he seems immune to aging altogether.
Others went further, accusing him of outright dishonesty, claiming that they have known him in the public eye for far longer than his alleged age would suggest.
The backlash was swift and brutal, with netizens delivering humorous yet cutting remarks:
Mwangi Mwas said:
“When I was in school you were 27 yrs I finished school and its 10yrs ago you’re still 27 bro😂😂😂 Give us your Remedy and skin care routine.”
Kevin Lumbumba wrote:
“You are 50 plus. Wewe ni Mzee. You used to entertain us in high school and now am almost 40yrs, by then l was 16yrs.”
Lillyan Graced posted:
“You’ve been 27yrs since the year 2000 bro.”
Janoy Janys stated:
“27×2= the answer is your actual age🤣🤣.”
Shemidah Kanyaa said:
“Change your name from ringtone to do not disturb please.”
Beyond the age debate, some critics also took issue with Ringtone’s command of English, with a section of users pointing out grammatical errors in his post and using that as further ammunition in the online roast.
Despite the ridicule, the singer’s post achieved exactly what it set out to do, capture attention.
Ringtone has built a reputation over the years for courting controversy and staying relevant through bold, often polarizing statements, and this latest episode is no exception.
Whether his declaration will actually lead him to finding a wife remains to be seen.
But if social media reactions are anything to go by, Kenyans are far more interested in solving the mystery of his age than helping him settle down.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: in the world of viral moments, Ringtone knows exactly how to keep people talking.
