Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has addressed a viral video showing her former partner, Mugithi singer Samidoh, publicly kissing his wife, Edday Nderitu, during a TikTok livestream in the United States.
The affectionate moment, which took place as Samidoh and Edday enjoyed a beach outing with their three children, sparked a flurry of online reactions. During the live session, the couple appeared jovial and at ease, engaging with fans alongside Samidoh’s cousin and promoter, Bernice Saroni. When Samidoh leaned in to kiss Edday, fans erupted with love emojis and begged for a repeat prompting Bernice to jokingly request TikTok gifts in exchange for another kiss.
The viral clip quickly circulated across social media, with netizens tagging Karen Nyamu and eagerly awaiting her response. One bold fan, identified as Laura Chebet, asked, “Senator did you see Samidoh kiss?” Unfazed, Nyamu fired back with a cheeky remark: “Then when he kisses me on Friday you’ll start drama.”
Despite the playful tone, Nyamu’s response has reignited discussions surrounding her once controversial relationship with Samidoh. Earlier this year, Nyamu confirmed their breakup, ending months of speculation. In a lighthearted moment with MP Kururia, she even joked about “firing” Samidoh from his role as her partner.
Nyamu has previously been a vocal supporter of polygamy, once arguing that some men, like Samidoh, have “too much energy for one woman” and should be shared. This stance, however, attracted heavy criticism from fans who accused her of breaking up Samidoh and Edday’s marriage.
Tensions between the trio escalated in past years, ultimately leading Edday to relocate to the U.S. with their children, seeking peace away from the public drama. The recent show of affection between Samidoh and Edday appears to signal reconciliation and has drawn mixed reactions from fans, some celebrating the couple’s renewed bond, while others continue to question Nyamu’s involvement in the saga.
For now, Nyamu seems unbothered, continuing to engage with her followers and with a dash of signature boldness, reminding them she’s not out of the picture just yet.
