Veteran radio host Muthoni wa Kirumba and Murang’a woman representative Betty Maina are at the center of a fiery social media feud that has gripped Kenyan netizens. What began as a cryptic post quickly spiraled into a full-blown clash, complete with screenshots, insults, and accusations of betrayal.
The conflict kicked off when Betty Maina posted what appeared to be a sarcastic remark about a maize flour brand promoted by Muthoni. While the initial post was subtle, what followed was anything but. In a scathing follow-up, Maina questioned the quality of the flour and included a biting comment suggesting that Muthoni was so contentious she even fought with her own mother.
This didn’t sit well with Muthoni, who is known for her bold and unfiltered personality. She wasted no time in firing back, warning the MP to keep her mother out of their disagreement. “Keep off my mother. Deal with me,” she wrote in a stern reply, followed by a flurry of emotional and pointed responses aimed at the lawmaker.
To add context to her frustration, Muthoni dug up an old post from 2020 where Betty had once praised her effusively. The post recalled a time when Muthoni had offered the politician emotional support during a difficult period. Betty had thanked Muthoni for helping her through personal struggles, even calling her a “rare gem” who wasn’t a counselor but offered advice and support like one.
Muthoni used this message to underscore what she saw as hypocrisy and betrayal. “Fair enough! Wacha niingie Mass and repent, but I’m coming for you right here at 9:00,” she wrote in a heated update. She made it clear that her patience had limits—especially when it came to her family—and warned that some lines should never be crossed, no matter the disagreement.
Online, the drama captured attention quickly. Social media users picked sides, shared memes, and revisited older interactions between the two women. Some were in full support of Muthoni, applauding her defense of family boundaries, while others called for calm, urging both women to take the high road.
One user cheekily noted they had already prepared two days’ worth of food so they wouldn’t miss the drama, while another reminded everyone that no one’s parents should be disrespected, regardless of the issue at hand.
This isn’t the first time Muthoni has found herself in a public squabble. In a past incident involving Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu, Muthoni responded after Nyamu posted photos with Mugithi singer Waithaka wa Jane—rumored to be Muthoni’s former partner. In a clever clapback, Muthoni shared playful photos of herself with her ex and baby daddy, Samidoh, clearly showing she was not one to back down easily.
Whether this latest clash will cool off or escalate further remains to be seen. But one thing is clear—Muthoni wa Kirumba is not afraid to stand her ground, especially when it comes to respect and loyalty.
