Gospel singer Karangu Muraya has been trending after a leaked audio surfaced online, capturing a past argument between him and his first wife, Triza Njeri, over his affair with his now second wife, Carol Kim. The recording shows Triza confronting Karangu, expressing distress and even threatening self-harm, while Karangu remained calm, downplaying her concerns.
The audio quickly went viral, intensifying public scrutiny of the singer’s turbulent polygamous marriage, which has dominated headlines throughout 2025. Following the leak, Karangu appeared in a social media live session, visibly emotional and crying, pleading with the public to stop attacking him.
Several celebrities and friends have come forward to support him. Musician Peter Miracle Baby took to social media to defend Karangu, highlighting the singer’s philanthropic work and past acts of kindness. Miracle Baby wrote, “Even if you people decide to hate me today or insult me in all sorts of ways, I will always pray for this man called Karangu Muraya. May God protect him because of the good things he has done, and even if he has done something bad, I feel his good deeds outweigh the bad.”
He shared a personal story, recalling a time Karangu visited him in hospital when others did not respond, emphasizing the singer’s support for those in need. “I cannot be silent anymore as I watch this man suffer. Let us check up on him because if he dies today, who will help those who need him?” Miracle Baby added, urging the public to encourage Karangu and pray for his strength.
Social media reactions were mixed. Jimmi Wa King Ke acknowledged Karangu’s philanthropic efforts while noting that no one is perfect. Djkatesy Kenya urged people to focus on their own lives instead of criticizing him, highlighting the help Karangu has provided to many. Catherine Muiruri and Bianca Sherry called for prayers and protection over the singer, while Mwari Wa Njau observed that others may be worse off despite being less public.
The source of the leaked audio remains unclear. Both Karangu and Triza denied involvement in the leak, though Triza later accused Carol of sharing it, a claim Carol has not yet responded to.
Karangu Muraya’s marital drama continues to play out publicly, with his personal life and charitable work under scrutiny. Despite criticism, his supporters emphasize his contributions to the community and encourage empathy as he navigates the ongoing controversy.
