Popular Mugithi singer Samidoh Muchoki has left Kenyans entertained after joking about having ten children during a viral video that quickly spread across social media.
The musician, who is publicly known to have five children, made the light-hearted comment while recalling a childhood game he used to play called “cha mama na cha baba.” According to him, he often ended up being assigned the “father role” in the game, something he jokingly suggested may have influenced his real-life situation.
“I remember when we played cha mama na cha baba; they always made me the dad. Now look, I have ten children,” Samidoh said in the clip, sparking laughter and mixed reactions online.
In reality, Samidoh is known to have three children with his wife, Edday Nderitu, who currently lives in the United States, and two children with nominated Senator Karen Nyamu. His personal life has often attracted public attention due to his high-profile relationships and co-parenting dynamics.
The singer has previously been in the spotlight over his relationship with Nyamu, which led to public debate and even affected his marriage. Despite the controversy, both parties have at times emphasized the importance of co-parenting and maintaining peace for the sake of their children.
Following the viral video, Kenyans flooded social media with humorous and mixed reactions. Some fans found the joke entertaining, while others debated whether the singer was indirectly revealing more about his personal life.
Samidoh, however, appeared relaxed in the clip, continuing his playful tone and showing no concern about the online buzz his statement had generated.
The video has once again placed the celebrated artist in the spotlight, proving that even his casual remarks can easily become trending topics across the country.
