Ever wondered what your favourite personalities are like when the cameras are off and the ring lights go dim? In this edition, we step into the world of Icy Sonie, and it is as unfiltered as it is entertaining.
Born Sonia Anena, Icy Sonie is quick to laugh about her softer side, admitting that while she considers herself funny, that charm might be reserved for those closest to her. “To my family and friends,” she says. “The rest of the world? That is still up for debate.”
Fresh off the reality TV reunion, she teases unseen drama from behind the scenes but keeps her cards close to her chest. “Let’s just say my lawyer might need to be present if I spill everything,” she jokes, hinting at moments viewers never got to witness.
But beyond the TV persona, Icy’s story has layers.
The name “Icy” itself traces back to a heartbreak from her high school days. “I became Icy because of someone’s son,” she reveals. “I was so young, and that heartbreak turned my heart icy.” It is a moment that clearly left a mark, shaping not just her identity, but her outlook on love.
And speaking of love, she does not sugarcoat her views on modern dating.
“Dating might actually be harder than getting into heaven,” she says bluntly, describing a landscape where selfishness often overshadows loyalty. In her view, heartbreak is not limited to a certain type of man either. “Anywhere you see men? Run for your life,” she adds with a laugh that carries more truth than humor.
When it comes to relationships, one thing is clear. She is not in the business of fixing anyone. “When did I become Bob the Builder?” she quips. “I physically convulse at the thought.”
Away from matters of the heart, Icy Sonie fully embraces the soft life. Her philosophy is simple and unapologetic: “I see it, I like it, I want it, I get it.” Whether broke or not, she admits it is a habit she refuses to negotiate.
Still, she is not without self-awareness. Reflecting on one controversial moment from the show, she recalls a comment directed at a fellow cast member that she instantly regretted. “The moment I said it, I knew I was in trouble,” she admits, acknowledging how quickly things can spiral in the public eye.
Through it all, Icy Sonie remains a blend of humor, honesty and unpredictability. An Acholi girl at heart, she hints at cultural nuances only a few would fully grasp, adding another layer to her identity.
