Mugithi performers are known for making fun of one another and not protecting their marriages when they perform together.

Wanja Asali made fun of Samidoh recently, saying that his wife abandoned him to go to the US.

"Even Samidoh's wife left him. Look, Samidoh's wife is now in the US. You have been lied to by Nyamu..." Samidoh quickly stopped the singer, leaving revelers clapping as she walked away. 

A few days prior, the same thing occurred during Samidoh and Muigai wa Njoroge's performance in Embu. 

The mugithi singers Samidoh and Muigai wa Njoroge engaged in a marriage-related duel at the Mavvel Hotel in Embu. 


 At a concert, the two polygamous men made audiences laugh while berating each other for having wives who left.

In a video streamed by the Hotel, Samidoh looks at Muigai, demanding to know, "Didn't one -of your wives- run away?" he laughs hilariously at Muigai, who is said to have been left by his two wives.

Samidohs first wife Edday left him, while Muigai's first wife Njeri also revealed they separated.

"I have never lost a wife, I never lose my wives, they have just moved. Werent you the one who was left by one when you introduced another," he adds in rebuttal.


In response, Samidoh affirms, "Yes." "They disappeared with a plane, but yours left with a nduthi didnt she?" Samidoh laughs hunched over in response. 

 "If I want her back, I can just get onto a nduthi and bring her home, but you have to look for a visa," Muigai said, staring at Samidoh incredulously. Their audience laughs along with them as they keep making jokes about each other in Kikuyu.
