What you need to know:

  • According to the 33 year old, she has already received more than 500 text messages and uncountable phone calls from men who say they are ready to take her in and abide by her set of rules.

Ray C last week got East Africa talking about her list of 10 qualities she was looking for in a husband.

She took to Instagram to declare that she was in the market for a husband who should know all her songs by heart, be ready to share a phone with her and work in the same office with her, among other conditions.

Some critics dubbed her actions cheap publicity and dismissed her list of husband requirements as ridiculous, but if Ray C’s claims of receiving requests from potential mates are anything to go by, then they may soon be forced to eat their words.

According to the 33-year-old, she has already received more than 500 text messages and uncountable phone calls from men who say they are ready to take her in and abide by her set of rules.

“Haahaha I can’t believe this, I have received so many calls and text messages about my earlier announcement. Many think I am joking but believe me, I am very serious about this and I urge them to continue sending the request because you could be the lucky one,” Ray C once again took to Instagram to update her fans on her progress.

“So far, so good, I have received 500 requests and from the looks of things, I see myself setting wedding bells dates after doing the elimination and choosing one,” she added.

Ray C has once again stolen the headlines barely two weeks after she sent social media into debate after she posted a video clip breaking down when she was denied methadone, a drug to help her fight addiction, by one hospital in Dar es Salaam where she has been getting her supply for the past two years.
