Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has come out in strong support of Triza Njeri, the first wife of renowned gospel musician Karangu Muraya, following the leak of a private audio clip that has stirred heated reactions online.

In the voice note, Triza is heard emotionally defending Karangu—the father of her children—after someone allegedly attempted to block him from attending her recent album launch. While her words were heartfelt, they sparked mixed reactions, with some social media users accusing her of being overly defensive or appearing desperate. But Karen Nyamu wasn’t having any of it.

Taking to her social media, the outspoken senator—who was present at the launch—offered words of encouragement to Triza. “You are not a beggar,” she wrote, reaffirming Triza’s value and urging her to rise above the criticism. “Stand tall. You owe no one an explanation.”


Nyamu’s public show of support quickly gained traction, earning praise from many for defending Triza at a vulnerable time. Still, others speculated about the ongoing drama between Triza and Karangu, given their complicated history and previous reports of separation—along with Karangu’s associations with other high-profile individuals.

So why is Triza Njeri trending? The leaked audio, her emotional appearance at the album launch, and now the backing of a prominent political figure have put her squarely in the public eye. While some continue to scrutinize her every move, many admire her strength, resilience, and openness.

With new music gaining attention and influential allies like Karen Nyamu by her side, this could mark a turning point for Triza Njeri—both as a gospel artist and as a public figure. One thing is certain: she’s not facing the storm alone.
