Ruth K has firmly distanced herself from any ties to her ex and baby daddy, Mulamwah, following a chaotic online fallout that took the internet by storm. The drama took another twist after Eric Omondi cheekily referred to her as shemeji (a Swahili term meaning in-law) in a social media post. The comment, though seemingly lighthearted, triggered a sharp clapback from Ruth, making her stance on the matter crystal clear.
The situation unfolded just hours after Ruth K and Mulamwah were embroiled in a heated social media battle that exposed deeply personal details about their past relationship. As part of a nationwide silent protest in honour of the late protester Boniface Kariuki, Eric had led Kenyans in a campaign to wear masks. Ruth joined in solidarity, posting a patriotic photo wearing a face mask, which Eric reposted, captioning it with “Thank you shemeji.” His words were seen by many as a reference to Ruth’s past with Mulamwah.
Ruth, however, was not amused. She swiftly replied, “Asante baba Kyla, lakini hapo kwa shemeji, no,” firmly rejecting the association and subtly reminding Eric—and the public—that her chapter with Mulamwah was firmly closed.
The drama between Ruth and Mulamwah has been escalating rapidly. It began when Mulamwah shared a photo of Ruth and their child, Kyla, online. This move sparked accusations from Ruth, who claimed he was emotionally tormenting her after their breakup. What started as a disagreement quickly turned into a full-blown social media war, leaving fans and followers stunned by the revelations that followed.
Ruth accused Mulamwah of leaking personal messages and intimate photos, including private images allegedly sent to her own father. She also admitted to sharing Mulamwah’s private photos in a moment of anger but later issued a public apology, saying she was choosing peace for the sake of their child.
In return, Mulamwah revealed further details, alleging Ruth had once exposed his HIV status in a WhatsApp group, and he too offered a public apology for sharing her intimate photos. However, his remorse was questioned by some after he followed the apology with cryptic posts, leaving many uncertain about his sincerity.
Online users were quick to respond to the shemeji incident and the overall fallout. Some praised Ruth for standing her ground, while others mocked Mulamwah for how the situation was unfolding. Comments ranged from admiration for Ruth’s resilience to calls for men and women alike to be more cautious in relationships.
The general sentiment was that Ruth’s response to Eric’s comment wasn’t just a rejection of a playful term, but a bold statement marking the end of a toxic chapter. Her decision to set boundaries in public, especially after a storm of private betrayals made public, signals a move towards healing and independence.
As the dust settles, it’s clear that both Ruth and Mulamwah are navigating difficult terrain, especially with their child involved. Whether or not future reconciliation—either personal or co-parenting—will take place remains uncertain. But for now, Ruth has spoken: the past is behind her, and the label of shemeji no longer applies.
