Muthoni wa Kirumba is back—and her triumphant return on May 12 has sparked waves of joy across central Kenya and beyond. The lively Kameme FM presenter, who had been mysteriously absent from her popular morning show, reappeared on air with her signature charm, putting an end to weeks of intense speculation from loyal fans.
For days, whispers of a possible exit from Kameme FM dominated online chatter. The beloved “radio queen” had gone silent without notice, prompting rumours that she had resigned—or even left the country. Many fans were convinced that Muthoni had secretly married her rumoured partner, Mugithi star Waithaka wa Jane, and had jetted off on a low-key honeymoon after the two were spotted flying together in a series of cryptic social media posts.
But it all turned out to be just that—speculation.
On Monday morning, Muthoni wa Kirumba made an electrifying comeback, joining her co-host Chef Gathemba on their signature breakfast show. Opening the show with a playful line, she joked, “I have been divorced and now I am her good morning,” sending fans into fits of laughter and confirming that the queen of Kikuyu radio gossip was officially back.
Fans Flood Social Media with Joy
The comeback instantly lit up social media. Muthoni went live on TikTok during the show, and her followers couldn’t hold back their emotions. Her comment sections were flooded with messages expressing excitement, relief, and even tears of joy.
In a cheeky post later that day, Muthoni teased her fans with the caption: “Kumbe ati mlikua mumemiss murima beb?” (So you had really missed the mountain babe?), acknowledging the intense love and loyalty from her audience.
Not Her First Radio Break
This isn’t the first time Muthoni has stirred the airwaves with her absence. In 2022, she briefly quit Kameme FM, only to make a surprise return—something her fans now refer to as her signature move. Known for her bold personality and no-holds-barred gossip segments, Muthoni remains a fan favourite in Kenya’s vernacular radio space.
Romance Rumours Continue
While her return laid exit rumours to rest, speculation about her love life remains a hot topic. The Waithaka wa Jane rumours gained momentum when the two were seen boarding a flight together, sparking honeymoon theories. In a cheeky twist, when Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu posted photos with Waithaka, Muthoni cheekily responded with her own playful snap featuring her ex and baby daddy, Samidoh, styled like a comic “cops and robbers” scene.
Whether it’s her radio presence or her fiery personal life, Muthoni wa Kirumba keeps Kenyans talking—and tuning in.
Why Her Comeback Matters
In a media landscape filled with fleeting personalities, Muthoni’s loyal fan base is a testament to her staying power. Her ability to bounce back, re-energise her audience, and dominate the morning airwaves sets her apart. Her return not only restores balance to Kameme FM’s morning lineup but also reaffirms her place as a cultural icon in Kikuyu broadcasting.
Her fans can now breathe a sigh of relief—Murima Beb is back on air, and mornings just got brighter.
