At his concerts, Samidoh often teases the crowd with the phrase “Samidoh ti maraya,” prompting fans to reply, “Samidoh ni maraya.”
While it started as playful banter, the chant gradually came to include his friends, with Karangu often receiving the brunt of the joke.
During some shows, Samidoh would mention Karangu and cheekily manipulate the crowd to chant “Karangu ni maraya,” even when introducing him as "Karangu ni muhunjia," meaning preacher.
After enduring the jibes in silence, Karangu finally voiced his frustrations, telling Samidoh it is painful to hear his name being associated with such vulgar chants, especially considering his gospel background and philanthropic work.
How did Samidoh respond?
In what seemed like a response, Samidoh later took to Facebook on Sunday, July 20, posting a cryptic message alongside a photo of himself posing in front of a police vehicle while still on tour in the US.
He quotes a verse from the bible, writing:
“The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.”
The layered message left fans puzzled, with many interpreting it as a subtle yet pointed jab aimed at Karangu in light of the recent fallout.

Did Samidoh and Wanja Asali clash?
It is never a dull moment whenever Samidoh and Wanja Asali take it to the stage. The two roast each other, leaving revellers entertained.
Previously, while performing together, Wanja dissed Samidoh, claiming his wife Edday dumped him and moved to the US after Nyamu allegedly lied to him.
Samidoh was left mortified and didn't have a comeback for Wanja.
Another time Wanja went personal on Samidoh was during their performance at Otium Kitisuru lounge.
Wanja mercilessly roasted the father of five, claiming he was dumped by his baby mama, Karen Nyamu, after his wife, Edday Nderitu, left him.
The roasting came after Nyamu revealed that they were no longer together.
Recently, the nominated senator, while speaking to her friend Kururia, she revealed she was dating someone else, hinting at getting married to him soon.
Nyamu revealed that the reason she broke up with Samidoh was that he was unable to handle his relationship drama.
When is Samidoh returning to Kenya?
After spending an extended period abroad, Samidoh recently confirmed his return to Kenya.
His much-anticipated homecoming show is scheduled for July 26 at a well-known Nairobi entertainment venue.
The event will feature several big names in the music scene, including Tonny Young, Joyce wa Mama, DJ Dibul, Bahati, Jose Gatutura, Wanja Asali, and the popular Waithaka wa Jane.
Many had speculated that Samidoh might settle abroad permanently, especially after facing political pressure back home.
