Ivy Chelimo, the creator of the viral Riggy G nickname has vowed to take legal action against a man who lied to Kenyans they used to be lovers – but got dumped when Chelimo became famous.
In an update, Chelimo said that it is wrong to lie to the masses to soil her reputation and therefore Alvan Kirui is in hot soup.
“Please stop peddling lies using my name and photos. I will take legal action. Be informed.
“Actually I mean it, it's wrong for a man to peddle lies,” Ivy Chelimo said.
Just the other day, Chelimo issued a statement, clarifying that she has never met Kirui who claimed to be her ex-lover.
"Please I do not know anyone by the name Alvan Kirui and I have certainly not been involved with the person claiming in any way whatsoever!! Disregard any information circulating regarding the same," Ivy Chelimo sought to clarify that she has never met Alvan Kirui Jnr and that his claims are baseless.
Before that, Alvan had put up a post claiming that he got dumped by Chelimo when she got famous adding that her parents also advised her to end the relationship.
“This will always be my favorite picture I took of you. I can't believe your parents can advise you to leave me at my lowest. You know I love you, just remember all I've been doing for you, Ivy,” the man captioned Ivy Chelimo’s photo on Twitter.

The claims come days after Ivy Chelimo was given a job by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua in his office. She will be working at Gachagua's Harambee House Annex office.
"This lady called Ivy, she coined Riggy G, I've tracked her down and offered her work at my Harambee Annex Office," he stated.
Chelimo, on her part, lauded the deputy for the opportunity thanking him for empowering the youths.
"Thank you, Deputy President, he offered me a job this morning and he's very passionate about the youths taking positions in this government.
"I assure you that he has things in place to ensure the youth take up opportunities so don't sit and wait for opportunities to come but rather take them up by yourselves," she said.
She noted that the DP asked her what she wanted, and as a university graduate, she said a job.
