The online feud between Kameme FM presenter Gladys Muthoni, popularly known as Muthoni wa Kirumba, and Murang’a Woman Representative Betty Maina has escalated sharply, with tensions rising to a new level of intensity. The conflict, which began with a seemingly minor disagreement, has now become a public spectacle full of personal attacks and explosive allegations.
The latest chapter in this drama unfolded when Muthoni wa Kirumba took to TikTok Live to address the situation, alongside Waithaka wa Jane and several viewers. During the live session, she expressed her anger over Betty Maina’s persistent attacks and issued a stern warning for Maina to stop involving her mother in their dispute. Muthoni accused Maina of bombarding her WhatsApp with insults and dragging her innocent mother into the conflict, a move she found deeply offensive.
According to Muthoni, Maina’s attacks started with private insults sent via WhatsApp and then spilled over to public platforms like Facebook. Feeling provoked and disrespected, Muthoni vowed not to back down. She described Maina as someone who demeans other women and accused her of unnecessarily involving friends and family members in their feud. One particularly pointed allegation was that Maina had contacted a friend of Muthoni’s to ask intrusive questions about her mother’s financial status and appearance. “What do you want to do, marry her?” Muthoni challenged sarcastically, making it clear that any continued involvement with her mother would be met with firm resistance.
The Kameme FM presenter did not hold back during the confrontation, further claiming that she had informed Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege about Maina’s behavior. Muthoni hinted at having evidence or “receipts” to back her claims, raising the stakes of the online battle. She also invited Maina to settle their differences face-to-face, challenging her to meet her at Kijabe Street if she felt “too manly” to continue the war of words online.
This ongoing spat has caught the attention of many netizens, who have been closely following the back-and-forth exchange on social media. Reactions have varied, with some fans expressing support for Muthoni, while others call for peace and urge both parties to resolve their issues away from the public eye. Comments range from humorous jabs to serious reflections on the nature of the conflict.
Adding another layer to the story, rumors had recently circulated about Muthoni’s status at Kameme FM after she was absent from her usual morning show for several days. However, she put those rumors to rest when she made a triumphant return on May 12, much to the delight of her loyal audience. Her comeback was celebrated by fans who missed her vibrant personality and engaging on-air presence.
The drama between Muthoni wa Kirumba and Betty Maina highlights the increasingly common phenomenon of public figures clashing on social media, where personal grievances quickly escalate and become widely scrutinized. It also underscores the sensitivity around family matters and how easily private conflicts can spill into the public domain.
As the feud continues to unfold, many are watching eagerly to see whether Betty Maina will respond to Muthoni’s fiery accusations or if the two will find a way to end their bitter dispute. For now, the online war of words remains a captivating saga, blending celebrity, politics, and personal rivalry into a story that has captured the attention of many.
