Karen Nyamu came under scathing attack from critics who accused her of taking over Edday Nderitu's matrimonial home in Samidoh's rural home.

Samidoh, Karen Nyamu and their children spent the holiday season at the singer’s rural home in Oljororok, Nyandarua County.

Netizens faulted Karen Nyamu for sleeping in Edday Nderitu’s house after she shared photos of herself and her family enjoying quality time in Oljororok.

Karen Nyamu was warned that it was taboo to sleep in Edday Nderitu's matrimonial bed, with critics also telling her to press Samidoh to build a house for her instead.

“Nyumba ya wenyewe unaringa NATO jengewa yako,” Elizabeth Thuo commented on Karen Nyamu's Facebook post.

In her reply, Karen Nyamu claimed she even attended the housewarming party when Samidoh opened the house in his rural home.

The mother of three further insisted that the house did not belong to Edday but rather to Samidoh.

“Elizabeth Thuo Hehehe ata ikifunguliwa ni mimi nilikua kwa hio mbuzi. Nyumba ni ya Sam,” Karen Nyamu clarified.

Another critic told Karen Nyamu that a woman is proud of a house she built from the foundation up and not just moving into a house built for her.

Edday Nderitu and her three children moved to the US in early May 2023.

On July 22, 2023, Samidoh's estranged wife explained that she made a conscious decision to remove herself and her children from a toxic environment.

Edday specifically said that her teenage daughter Shirleen Muchoki was 'a direct recipient of unbelievable behaviour displayed'.
