Award-winning gospel singer Maasai is off the market.

The talented artiste, who comes from a minority community where men are known to be herders, is among the few who've come out to disprove this notion and his songs are currently dominating the local airwaves.

L Jay Maasai and his longtime girlfriend Ashley Mutai recently celebrated their anniversary and the Iyaiyo hitmaker shared this sweet message celebrating his love.

"It was this exact night (5) when we made it official ... Today our Love is stronger and deeper than ever!❤💗 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE! @ashleymutahi You are nothing but a blessing to me from God. (For Many years and to more years)

Lakini Its about time we leak some breaking news don't you think?"

Ashley responded with a lovely text which read;

"Awwww Happy Anniversary boobear😍😍 Das 1 of 3 😋😋 I'm so glad to have met you ! I love you sooo much 😘😘 Yes yesssss 🤗😜😜😜 It's about time we do sweetheart! ♡♡"

The young lovebirds, who have a joint Instagram account (lekishon.x.ashley) where they share photos of themselves displaying affection for each other in public, recently shared photos from a wedding shoot leaving many speculating that they had walked down the aisle. .

Well, reached out to L Jay Maasai for a comment and he revealed to us that they haven't tied the knot yet. He said that photos were part of their new project.

"The pictures are simply from a photoshoot I did with my girlfriend. We started a business of selling and hiring wedding gowns. Our target market is everyone and anyone who is planning for a wedding. We have stuff for all brides," he exclusively told Mpasho.

When asked about his wedding plans, he responded:

Me sio mtu wa kukimbiza maneno."

Adding:

"I guess ni mapema, but when it knocks you will surely hear about it."

Rumours have been going round that L jay's girlfriend is pregnant but he has refuted the claims.

"Not at all. We are waiting till marriage."

L Jay is set to release two songs later today, Iriwa which means nitume (send me) and  'Bam Chikicha by  singer Cooper Cooper, first artist  he signed under his record label. Cooper Cooper featured in L Jay Maasai's song titled Bado Bado.

Q: After winning the male gospel singer of the year in 2017, do you think this year you're going to retain it?

A: About awards, if it soo happens that im nominated and that i win, all Glory shall be to God.

But i am working on exploring a wider market than Kenya alone, so hopefully with all the faith possible we are looking foward to international noninations.

I am working with Gods time. I really do not know.
