Vanexxa Akinya drops much-awaited EP.

 

News from the now-private celebrity has been eagerly anticipated since last year when she hinted at an announcement set for January 25th. 

The former comedian has released her first solo credited work, officially titled “Child of Dawn Akinyi.” 

This title reflects her new direction in life, as she is dating a new man, has changed her name, and is embracing a more fierce persona.

The EP comes with a cautionary message to parents regarding its content. “Child Of Dawn – AKINYI ✨ My First Official EP debut (Out Now). 

This one’s for my homies,” she wrote alongside a series of pictures and a list of songs. Vanessa has been steadily evolving as an artist, releasing her first song two years ago.

Eleven weeks ago, the cartoon comedian abandoned her moniker in what appeared to be a rebranding move. 

In a heartfelt statement to her dedicated fans, she expressed that she was letting go of her previous name to embrace a new path. 

That significant day also marked her birthday. At the time, she was dating a new man while trying to keep their relationship private.

Her YouTube account no longer features her comic content and has been renamed Vanexxa Musiq. 

Similarly, her Instagram has been revamped, with the singer unfollowing everyone and deleting certain posts. The name “Vanexxa Akinyi” now appears in black.

In her message to the “team Cartoon,” she wrote: 

“It’s been an incredible journey with each of you by my side, and your support has meant the world to me. 

As I continue to grow personally and artistically, I feel it’s time to reconnect with a part of myself that I’ve always held close to my heart—my original name. 

This change feels like coming home, honoring my roots, and embracing every step of my path. 

From now on, I’ll be known as Vanessa Akinyi. I’m excited to take this step forward with all of you, knowing that my journey is also part of your story. 

Thank you for supporting me through every change and chapter of this thing called life. With all my love and gratitude, Vanessa Akinyi.”

Vanessa also hinted at something new coming up with a poster that looks forward to January 25, 2025. 

The concept and cover of the poster depict two hands reaching out to each other. 

Fans will be able to listen to her solo songs on all streaming platforms.
