UDA-nominated Senator Karen Nyamu is framing herself to the public as a ‘misunderstood’ woman.
Speaking during her recent live session, Nyamu came out as a vulnerable victim of circumstances saying she feels misjudged and has always been misquoted.
The mother of three says over time, netizens have refused to grapple with the realities of her love life consequently implicating her as an “infamous home wrecker”.
“I am the most misunderstood woman in Kenya. It’s not like I want y’all to understand me, It’s okay. I just love that I’m so real to myself, to my God and to everyone around me,” she said adding that she has already developed a thick skin for internet trolling.
Karen Nyamu was speaking about her marriage with Mugithi singer Samidoh where she boasted of being at the centre of what she termed the enduring love triangle that has held netizens in a chokehold.
Currently, though, Samidoh’s union seems to be troubled after his wife Edday Nderitu publicly announced she would not engage in a polygamous marriage following Samidoh’s involvement with Karen Nyamu.
The mother of three later moved to the US with all her children in early May 2023 and has since enrolled the kids in a school in the US.
In her reaction to that, Karen Nyamu said; “Those are my husband’s kids, we are happy.”
However, she said it is sad being in a seemingly dysfunctional polygamous marriage noting that she prays things will work out for both parties.
“There is no joy. As much as I’m with the man I love and my kids are with their father, it would have been better if both of us(referring to her and Edday) enjoyed it. I leave it to God to handle the situation.”
Karen Nyamu seems to share similar hopes with Samidoh who in a recent song held himself accountable for his failing union and begged his wife to return.
“Clearly, I’m to blame for our failed love and it pains me that you left,” he sings.
As Samidoh writes his wrongs to a scorned lover, it becomes increasingly clear that he misses his first love.
The father of five begs his wife to remember how far their love has come and not to blow it all away due to a few misunderstandings.
“I’ve been sorry and I still love you. I still hold my promises to you. To take care of you as I assured your parents. Please come back home, let’s raise our babies together.”
