Newly elected Mbeere North MP Leonard Wa Muthende recently claimed that Mugithi musician Samidoh insulted him during a past performance. The lawmaker made the allegation during an interview on Inooro TV, saying he was surprised to hear his name mentioned negatively by the artist. He added that he intended to confront Samidoh to understand why he had spoken about him in that manner. The remarks sparked debate across various online platforms as Kenyans weighed in on the dispute.
Wa Muthende said he had previously ignored insults from other public figures and online users. He mentioned that even former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua had made comments about him, yet he chose not to engage. The MP explained that Samidoh’s remarks felt different because he believed the musician had a significant following and influence. He also clarified that he did not plan to use violence and only wanted an explanation.
Samidoh responded during a live performance at OJ HQ in Ruiru. He broke into a playful freestyle that mocked the MP’s claims and turned the tense situation into a moment of entertainment. His improvised lyrics suggested that Wa Muthende had misunderstood the context of his statements. The crowd reacted with loud laughter as Samidoh repeated the witty lines and added small dance moves.
The musician also joked about avoiding Mbeere North due to talk of people wanting to beat him. He told the audience that he would visit the area and speak to the MP directly. His freestyle leaned on humor rather than confrontation, which helped diffuse the tension for many of his fans. Clips from the performance began circulating online shortly after the event.
Netizens reacted quickly once the videos appeared on social media. Many praised Samidoh for his quick thinking and ability to turn conflict into comedy. Others joked about the need for both men to hire more lawyers because of the ongoing drama. Some fans encouraged Samidoh to visit Embu and perform without fear, while others commented on his creativity and confidence.
Several users wrote that defending Samidoh was difficult, yet they still supported him because of his authenticity. Others admired his intelligence and sense of humor. A few reminded him to avoid political involvement to keep his brand strong. The online conversation showed that the musician continues to inspire strong reactions from his audience.
Samidoh’s freestyle response renewed public interest in the situation. His approach helped shift the focus toward entertainment rather than conflict. Both supporters and critics agreed that the moment highlighted his ability to handle pressure with humor. The issue may continue to spark debate, but Samidoh’s reaction ensured that the discussion remained lively and engaging.
