Senator Karen Nyamu has offered a fresh explanation for the end of her relationship with Mugithi singer Samidoh, saying she had met another person before their highly publicised breakup.
The revelation emerged from screenshots of an alleged private conversation between Nyamu and a woman identified on social media as Bibi ya Chieff.
The screenshots, which were shared publicly on Facebook, appear to show the nominated senator responding to questions about her past relationship with Samidoh.
Nyamu has previously maintained that she was the person who chose to end the relationship, although she had rarely given a detailed explanation of what led to the decision.
In the alleged exchange, Nyamu reportedly explained that she had met someone else.
“Truth is I met someone,” she wrote, according to the screenshots shared online.
She further suggested that Samidoh was aware of the situation and had even referenced it through his music.
The comments have attracted attention because Nyamu and Samidoh’s relationship has been a subject of public interest for years.
Their relationship also became part of wider public discussions because both have children and have previously spoken publicly about their family arrangements.
The leaked conversation also touched on an earlier public appearance in which Nyamu discussed emotional experiences linked to the relationship.
When challenged over her decision to appear on a podcast while discussing being ghosted, Nyamu reportedly responded critically, suggesting that people should not appear emotionally vulnerable in public unless they are prepared for how the moment may be perceived.
She also urged her critic to listen to Samidoh’s song “Toxic Love”, arguing that her past relationship should not continue dominating discussions about her life years after the breakup.
The exchange portrays Nyamu as someone keen to distance herself from continued speculation about her former relationship.
It also provides a different perspective on the circumstances surrounding the breakup, particularly her claim that she had already met someone else.
However, because the information comes from screenshots of an alleged private conversation shared on social media, the authenticity and full context of the messages cannot independently be established from the material provided.
Nyamu and Samidoh have remained connected through their children, meaning questions about their relationship have continued to attract public attention even after their romantic relationship ended.
The latest comments are therefore likely to renew discussions about what happened between the two public figures and when their relationship officially came to an end.
For now, Nyamu’s reported remarks suggest that moving on was an important part of her decision to leave the relationship, while her response to renewed questions indicates that she would prefer attention to shift away from her past with Samidoh.
