The popular Akorino musician and philanthropist, Karangu Muraya, has taken to social media to address recent rumours involving his personal life.
Muraya is known for his extensive charity work and gospel music. This week, however, he is making headlines for his reaction to reports that his estranged first wife, Triza Mamake Muraya, is allegedly dating his close friend.
A Surprising Endorsement
Instead of showing bitterness, Muraya chose a path of public support. In a post that quickly went viral, the singer congratulated the pair. He described the situation as a positive outcome for all parties involved.
"Your Baby mama akiolewa na beshte yako, that's a plus and a win... congratulations my people, nita wa support hadi muoane," he wrote.
The message, which translates to a promise of support until the two wed, surprised many of his followers. Muraya framed the development as a "plus and a win," signalling that he holds no ill will towards his former partner or his friend.
Shortly after his first message, Muraya shared a second post that seemed to explain his calm demeanour. He suggested that he had reached a place of peace regarding the end of his marriage and the new choices of those involved.
"Ukishakubali haiumii," Muraya posted, accompanied by laughing emojis.
The phrase, meaning "once you have accepted, it doesn't hurt," highlights his stoic approach to the news.
Background to a Dented Marriage
While the current news has caught the public's eye, the breakdown of Muraya’s marriage to Triza has been a subject of discussion for some time.
The public drama between gospel singer Karangu Muraya and his first wife, Triza Njeri, began shortly after Valentine's Day in February 2025. It started when Triza went live on TikTok and Facebook to reveal that their marriage was in distress, claiming he had abandoned her and their children in the village.
The introduction of a second marriage reportedly dented the bond between Karangu and Triza. This led to their eventual estrangement.
Karangu publicly confirmed Carol Kim as his second wife to the public months later, citing a desire to find peace following years of tension in his first marriage.
The revelation sparked significant online conversation and drama, particularly with his first wife, Triza Njeri.
Despite the public nature of their split, Triza has largely remained focused on her life as "Mamake Muraya," while Karangu continued his high-profile career in the music industry and humanitarian sectors.
