Kalekye, who lives in Nairobi, is one of the first ladies to have been approached by Yaytseslav during his time in Kenya.
According to her, their encounter happened in March 2025.
During their meeting, Yaytseslav, whose real name is Vladislav Lyulkov, introduced himself, asked her age, and told her meet him in the evening.
Even though she told him she was 19, she admitted to exchanging contacts with Yaytseslav and agreed to meet him.
However, Kalekye has stated that the meeting never happened because she pulled out over security concerns.

Why Kalekye rejected Russian man Yaytseslav
In an interview with SPM Buzz, she explained that she expected the meeting to be at a public location, such as a restaurant, but he instead asked her to meet him at his apartment.
Describing her expectations at the time, Kalekye admitted she initially viewed this interaction as a normal encounter and had hoped Yaytseslav would treat her well and flash some cash.
"Niliona nimetoka block. Just like a man would like a pretty girl, it's the same way. Nobody wants to be with a poor guy. I do not think that is being a gold digger; everyone wants a brighter future," she said.
She confessed that she was open to a relationship if Yaytseslav had been consistent and genuine in his advances, because she saw it as an opportunity to break out from the neighbourhood for a brighter opportunity.

Insisting that she never made it to his apartment, Kalekye explained that Yaytseslav only sent a pin location to a short-stay apartment around Ngara, and she declined, citing safety concerns and preferring a public meeting spot.
"He skipped the talking stage and immediately sent me the location to a BnB in Ngara, and I was like, it was not normal. People do not just go there to dance. I did not go," she explained, noting that was the last time they communicated.
She added that at the time, she did not notice any recording devices, though he was wearing dark glasses, which were later suspected to be Meta smart glasses capable of discreetly recording video.
Kalekye said she now views the attention positively and is even planning to release a book she had written, potentially capitalising on her unexpected viral fame.
