What was meant to be a celebratory night for Mugithi sensation Samidoh turned chaotic after a physical altercation broke out between two high-profile guests during his homecoming concert on Saturday, July 26. The now-viral video from the event has sparked widespread discussion online, with many netizens speculating about the root cause of the drama.
The confrontation unfolded at a popular Nairobi venue, where Samidoh was hosting friends and fans following his recent tour in the United States. Among the special guests invited on stage was aspiring Embu senator Samuel Ireri. However, shortly after Ireri stepped down from the stage, he was seen engaging in a heated verbal exchange with nominated Murang’a MCA Sharleen Wambui. The argument quickly escalated into a physical fight, shocking those present as the two clashed in front of the crowd. Videos capturing the incident quickly made rounds on social media, drawing mixed reactions and questions over what could have triggered such an explosive confrontation.
Kelvin Shaban, an aspiring MP for Roysambu, was caught in the middle of the altercation as he attempted to separate the pair. In response to the viral footage, Shaban took to social media to defend himself, stating that he had been wrongly accused. He claimed the video was misleading and possibly AI-generated. “Relaxed, recharged, wrongly accused and misjudged by rumours. Enyewe AI videos are getting out of hand,” he wrote. His statement drew various reactions from supporters who urged him to focus on his political campaign and praised him for trying to intervene.
Sharleen Wambui, who is known for her close friendship with First Daughter Charlene Ruto, also responded to the video but kept her reaction short and bold. In a Facebook post, she wrote, “War is war,” suggesting she was unbothered by the criticism. Her post sparked a flurry of comments from followers who demanded more context, but she has not provided any further clarification.
Meanwhile, Samuel Ireri has yet to comment publicly on the incident. His silence has only fueled speculation and left many eager to hear his side of the story.
During the same event, Samidoh stirred political sentiments with his performance, leading the crowd in chants that appeared to criticize the government. He also performed the protest song “Kasongo Yeye” and unexpectedly paid tribute to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, despite previously being linked to political controversy.
While Samidoh delivered an electrifying performance for his fans, the night will be remembered as much for the music as for the dramatic altercation that overshadowed the celebration. As discussions continue online, many await further clarification from those involved in the incident.
