Mugithi star Samuel Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh, has once again found himself in the spotlight—this time over questions about his role as a father.

The musician, who has dominated headlines this year for his political associations and controversial exit from the National Police Service, is no stranger to public scrutiny.

Samidoh recently posted a motivational message on social media, sharing a photo of himself on a bicycle with the caption:

“Competition happens at the bottom. The people at the top are collaborating.”

But instead of sparking inspiration, the post drew sharp criticism from a follower using the name Logic Reason.

The fan accused Samidoh of neglecting his two children with nominated senator Karen Nyamu, blaming political differences for alleged failures in co-parenting. He also took aim at the singer’s resignation from the police service.

“I used to respect this dude until he decided to neglect his two gorgeous kids begotten with his politician girlfriend, because of her political loyalty, and later resigned just to be called gitungati… that was odd,” the comment read.

Samidoh quickly fired back with a stinging reply that went viral:

“Logic Reason, very nice. Now accumulate all that respect, pour it to your own mother and father—at least there is a reward in the Bible.”

The exchange reignited debate over Samidoh’s past with Nyamu, with whom he shares two children, Sam Muchoki Junior and Wairimu Muchoki. Their relationship began while Samidoh was still married to his wife, Edday Nderitu, but reportedly ended in 2024.

Nyamu has insisted she was the one who ended the affair, dismissing claims she was abandoned.

“Me nakaa mtu alikataliwa? Am I the one singing Karen Nyamu’s name in all Mugithis every weekend? Ebu enda uskie wimbo inaitwa Toxic Love tena lol,” she said in a recent online exchange.

She further alleged that Samidoh continues to reference her in his performances, even dedicating the song Toxic Love to her. The senator also took aim at critics, particularly married women who, she argued, attack single mothers while hiding their own unhappiness.

In Toxic Love, Samidoh paints the picture of a turbulent relationship marked by passion, dreams, and eventual heartbreak. He sings of being a “victim of love,” torn between devotion and self-preservation.

The lyrics include pointed lines about a lover who valued a “Range Rover more than a guitar,” suggesting a clash between material desires and his artistic calling. Ultimately, the song closes with his declaration of freedom from the “prison of love.”

Amid the controversy, Samidoh and his wife Edday appear to have rekindled their relationship. In July 2025, the couple were seen sharing a kiss during a TikTok live session while on a beach outing in the United States. They were joined by their children and cousin Bernice Saroni, signaling a renewed family bond despite the storm of public speculation.
