Gospel singer Karangu Muraya was overjoyed this week after a devoted fan surprised him by tattooing his name on her hand.
The gesture has since sparked reactions across social media.
The encounter took place during a fundraising event for fellow gospel singer Gachathi wa Thuo. Karangu, known for his philanthropic efforts and music, met the fan who proudly showed off the fresh ink alongside a rose design.
Karangu shared the moment on his Facebook page where he has over a million followers. He captured his surprise and delight by writing in Kiswahili that he had just met the woman and noticed she had decided to write his name on her hand, followed by a playful expression questioning who he was.
The post quickly attracted attention from Karangu’s wife Carol Kim who joined in with a humorous comment saying “Kwisha maneno”. The lighthearted exchange filled the comment section with laughter and admiration.
Carol also responded to an online user who made suggestive remarks about the interaction reminding critics not to indulge in gossip.
Reactions from netizens varied with some debating whether the tattoo showed admiration or obsession while others urged caution in reading too much into the gesture.

Fans expressed excitement at seeing the singer in a relaxed and cheerful mood while interacting with his supporters.
The encounter highlighted the deep connection between Karangu and his fans and showed how gestures of admiration can sometimes take people by surprise in unexpected ways.
