Mugithi artist Samidoh has recently ignited a fiery debate on social media with his controversial remarks about love and fidelity.
The musician, well-known in the Kenyan entertainment industry, made headlines when he shared a post that seemed to defend men who cheat on their partners.
In his statement, Samidoh suggested that deceit is a normal part of male behaviour in relationships.
He claimed that men lie to protect their partners’ feelings, writing, “A man who loves you will always lie to you because he cares about your feelings.
He would rather lie to you than hurt your feelings.” This comment sparked widespread outrage and disappointment among his followers.
Samidoh’s comments come amidst a backdrop of personal turmoil.
The artist’s romantic life has been under public scrutiny for years.
He first made headlines in 2021 when he publicly apologized to his wife, Edday Nderitu, for an extramarital affair with politician Karen Nyamu,
Further, it resulted in the birth of a child. His apology was met with shock from fans who had viewed him as a dedicated family man.
Despite his apology, Samidoh’s relationship with Nyamu continued, leading to the birth of a second child.
This further strained his marriage to Edday, who eventually decided to end their 15-year union.
Unable to tolerate the ongoing infidelity, Edday moved to the United States with their three children, expressing her unwillingness to raise her sons in a polygamous household.
Samidoh’s recent remarks have only intensified the debate surrounding his views on love and loyalty.
