"Sikutaka kusema": Karen Nyamu shares reason she dumped Samidoh in leaked chats
This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.
- Karen Nyamu's private DMs were leaked by a woman who identified herself as Bibi ya Chieff after she slid into the senator's inbox
- Nyamu had on several occasions claimed she was the one who ended things with Samidoh but never explained why until now
- The leaked chats contain a candid admission from Nyamu about what was really going on in her personal life when the relationship ended
Senator Karen Nyamu has finally let the cat out of the bag about why her relationship with mugithi star Samidoh came to an end, and it was not quite the narrative many had assumed.
The revelation came through a series of leaked direct messages shared on Facebook by a woman who goes by the name Bibi ya Chieff.
The woman claims she reached out to Nyamu privately, and the senator responded candidly, apparently not anticipating the conversation would end up going public.
What Karen Nyamu said in the leaked messages
For years, Nyamu had maintained that she was the one who walked away from Samidoh, though she consistently stopped short of explaining what pushed her to that decision.
In the leaked screenshots, however, the nominated senator appears to have dropped her guard considerably.
"Truth is I met someone and that's not what I didn't want to say. But he knows it and he's sung about it," Nyamu wrote in one of the messages, adding a laughing emoji that suggested she was unbothered by the admission.
The message is significant because it directly contradicts the impression that the breakup was purely driven by Samidoh's behaviour.
Nyamu is essentially confirming she had moved on emotionally before the split was made public and that Samidoh himself was aware of the situation at the time.
Nyamu pushes back at her critic
The exchange was not all confessions. When the woman on the other end challenged her, pointing out that she had appeared on a podcast crying about being ghosted, Nyamu did not hold back.
"Don't go to a podcast if you're not ready to fake vulnerability," she fired back, a line that suggests she now views that emotional public moment as performance rather than genuine heartbreak.
She also pushed back on the notion that she was still fixated on her past with Samidoh, telling her critic to listen to a song called Toxic Love by her ex and to stop trying to make her history feel current.
"Ingia YouTube uskize wimbo inaitwa toxic love bila haraka alafu uwache ku force my past to be relevant over 2 years later," she wrote.
The chats paint a picture of a woman who feels she has genuinely moved forward and is irritated that others keep pulling her back into old storylines.
Whether or not fans agree, Nyamu's admission about finding someone new before the breakup is likely to reshape how many people have understood the timeline of her very public falling out with Samidoh.
Does Nyamu speak with Samidoh?

Despite the challenges, Nyamu described their breakup as her easiest, suggesting an acceptance that both parties have quietly reached over time.s
