Mugithi musician Samidoh recently took to social media to celebrate a proud moment in the life of his ‘daughter’, Wanjiru Wa Waya, who has earned the prestigious YouTube Silver Play Button. The award is given to content creators who surpass 100,000 subscribers, and Wanjiru has achieved this through consistent effort and creativity. Known for her work as a television host and her talents as a Mugithi artist, Wanjiru’s accomplishment marked a moment of joy not only for her but also for those who have guided and supported her along the way.
Samidoh shared heartfelt words, expressing how proud he was of Wanjiru’s milestone. He referred to her as his daughter — not in the biological sense — but as someone destiny had brought into his life for mentorship. Reflecting on his role in the lives of many young people, he said that while some call him “Dad” because of blood ties, others do so because life placed him in their path as a guide and supporter.
He celebrated her success with a touching message of encouragement, stating that the world had yet to see the best of her. He commended her for her dedication, talent, and the effort she has put into building her online platform. His pride in her achievement was evident, as was his belief in her future potential.
Wanjiru Wa Waya is known for her work as a presenter on Kameme TV and is quickly making a name for herself in the Mugithi music scene — a path similar to that of her mentor. Her ability to connect with fans through her performances and digital content has been instrumental in building a strong YouTube following.
In addition to celebrating Wanjiru’s achievement, Samidoh has also been in the spotlight for his personal life. He is the biological father of five children. He shares three children with his wife, who currently resides in the United States, and two with a nominated senator. His relationships have often been a subject of public discussion, especially due to the challenges of co-parenting and high-profile breakups.
Despite the complexities of his personal life, Samidoh has remained focused on his role as a mentor and father figure to many beyond his immediate family. His influence in the Mugithi community goes beyond music — he is widely respected for uplifting upcoming talent and using his platform to nurture others.
The news of Wanjiru’s success has been met with praise and congratulations from fans and followers alike. Many applauded Samidoh for his continued support of young talent, with some even jokingly asking to be mentored or adopted by him as well. Supporters emphasized the importance of artists helping each other grow, with Samidoh being recognized as someone who shares his spotlight rather than hoarding it.
The celebration also served as a reminder of the legacy Samidoh is building — not just through music but also through the lives he touches. Wanjiru’s milestone was not only a personal victory but also a reflection of the power of mentorship, guidance, and belief in the next generation.
