Musician Samidoh Muchoki is currently enjoying a heartwarming reunion with his family in the United States while on tour. The father of five recently shared a touching photo of his youngest daughter with his wife, Edday Nderitu, capturing a tender moment that has resonated widely on social media. In the photo, Samidoh is seen leaning on a car, holding his lastborn child on his lap, a sight that has melted many hearts online.
Samidoh’s visit to the US comes amid much public interest, especially as nominated senator Karen Nyamu, his former partner, is also in the country. The coincidence of their presence in the US has sparked discussions among fans and followers, with many wondering about their personal dynamics.
A few weeks prior to this family reunion, Samidoh experienced a significant career shift when he was transferred within the police force to Gilgil, an area known for banditry. This move came shortly after he released a song praising Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. The song and the transfer stirred quite a debate on social media, with fans encouraging him to consider leaving the police force to fully pursue his music career.
Police Inspector General Douglas Kanja addressed the transfer, explaining that all civil servants, including Samidoh, are redeployed for legitimate reasons, dismissing rumors that the move was punitive. Shortly after the transfer, Samidoh traveled to the UK and posted a cryptic photo alongside a police car, which led some fans to joke about his “transfer” to the UK. However, the musician is now confirmed to be in the US for performances and quality family time.
Edday Nderitu, Samidoh’s wife, relocated to the US in 2023 with their three children seeking peace and a better life. Their relationship appears to have been rekindled, as suggested by Samidoh’s recent social media posts featuring their youngest daughter. His affectionate caption alongside the photo read, “I hope one day I will sleep before midnight like normal human beings. Stop what you have planned for me,” sparking warmth and smiles among followers.
While Samidoh openly celebrates his children with Edday, some fans have questioned why he rarely posts about the children he fathered with Karen Nyamu. In the past, he did show involvement, such as attending Nyamu’s eldest daughter’s school meetings when she was abroad. However, co-parenting seems to have been a challenge for the former couple, with Nyamu acknowledging that after their breakup, both needed time to heal, which affected their relationship with their children.
Karen Nyamu is currently living with her eldest brother in the US and has shared glimpses of her family life, including moments like dropping her nephew off at school. The proximity of both Samidoh and Nyamu in the US has led to speculation and curiosity among Kenyans, with some wondering if their respective postings were deliberate.
Fans of Samidoh have reacted warmly to his family moments, showering the posts with praise. Comments celebrate his devotion to his daughters and admire the beauty of his youngest child. Many acknowledge the importance of a father’s love in shaping his children’s confidence and character, while others express joy at seeing him embrace family life amid his busy career.
Beyond family news, Samidoh recently delighted fans in Ireland with a spontaneous street performance in Dublin. His mugithi tunes attracted attention from locals and tourists alike, with one charming clip showing a young white girl dancing joyfully, leading Kenyans to affectionately nickname her Njeri. This performance underscored Samidoh’s growing international appeal and his ability to bridge cultural gaps through music.
Overall, Samidoh’s recent activities highlight a dynamic balance between his music career, personal life, and service in the police force, captivating fans who continue to support his journey.
