Muthoni wa Kirumba, a beloved radio presenter at Kameme FM, made a triumphant return to the airwaves on May 12, 2025, following a brief hiatus that had sparked intense speculation among her fans. Her absence from the station’s morning show left listeners wondering if she had quit her job, with some even suggesting that she had secretly married and was on a honeymoon. These rumors were further fueled by posts from popular Mugithi singer Waithaka wa Jane, who had shared pictures of the couple traveling together, leading to a frenzy of online gossip.
However, Muthoni put all rumors to rest when she returned to her usual energetic and charismatic self on her comeback show. In typical Muthoni fashion, she opened her first broadcast with a cheeky remark, saying, “I have been divorced and now I am her good morning,” instantly lighting up the studio and the airwaves. Her co-host, Chef Gathemba, warmly welcomed her back, and together they delivered an entertaining show that captivated listeners.
As soon as her return was confirmed, fans flooded her social media accounts with expressions of joy and relief. Many loyal listeners shared how much they had missed her unique presence, with some even expressing how her absence had made their days feel dull. One fan, Irene Wachira Kash, shared an emotional post, describing how she had missed Muthoni so much that she had even shed tears upon hearing her return. Others joked about her unpaid phone bills and promised to treat her to lunch as a way of celebrating her comeback.
This wasn’t the first time Muthoni had caused a stir with her absences. In 2022, she had briefly left the station, only to return later, continuing to captivate her audience with her trademark humor and bold personality. Over the years, Muthoni has become a fan favorite for her lively banter, often engaging in gossip-filled discussions that keep her listeners entertained. Her unique style and energy have made her a household name among Kameme FM’s loyal audience.
Aside from her work on the radio, Muthoni has also been involved in social media drama. Recently, she clapped back at Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu after Nyamu posted photos with Waithaka wa Jane, the same singer who had been at the center of the speculations about Muthoni’s absence. In a playful response, Muthoni shared a photo of herself with her ex, Samidoh, where the two appeared to be engaging in a light-hearted “police and robber” game, adding fuel to the playful back-and-forth.
Muthoni’s return to the airwaves is a testament to the deep connection she has built with her fans over the years. Her charisma, humor, and willingness to engage with her audience have made her a cherished figure in the world of Kenyan radio. Despite the brief absence, it’s clear that Muthoni’s loyal fans are thrilled to have her back, and they can’t wait for more of the bold, entertaining content she is known for.
