Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has long believed he was the one who linked Mugithi singer Samidoh and Karen Nyamu but Nyamu has stated that this was not the case. Nyamu claims that before Sonko 'introduced' them, she already knew Samidoh in an interview with Ala C for Reke Ciume Na Ene.

"Sonko was my boss, so I did not want him to know, so nlikua naficha white, 'That is why he thought he was the one who connected me to Samidoh. But even before then, we knew each other."

In the past, Sonko has narrated how he connected the two love birds.


'Munafaa muniitie chai mimi ndio nlikupea Samidoh pale Dubai mkiwa na Moses Kuria wakati wa Mugithi night."

(You guys should buy me tea. I am the one who gave you Samidoh during a Mugithi night in Dubai while you were with Moses Kuria."

Nyamu retorted sarcastically, pleading with Sonko not to divulge the footage. Nyamu had previously been accused of 'kidnapping' a husband by a fan, which she did not dispute.

The mother of two claimed to be a close friend of Sonko's family in an interview with Jeff Kuria TV.

According to her, the worst criticism she has received on social media is that she is a gold digger.


''His wife is my friend. They even linked my sister to dating Sonko; the wife even called me about that. I told her that was not true. I know the family back in Buruu when Sonko had matatus, and his wife ran a cyber cafe.''

Karen said some of the things written on social media are malicious.

''I can't say it is my enemies in politics, but the first blogger to write about me is linked to someone who wanted me to be in a relationship with them,'' she said.
