Kenyan Mugithi star Samidoh Muchoki has shocked his fans and the entertainment industry by terminating his professional relationship with his longtime manager and friend, Moses Kimani Marite.
The surprising move was announced through a public notice by Samidoh Entertainment, stating that Marite’s services were immediately discontinued.
He is no longer authorized to handle any business or contracts on behalf of the musician.
The split has raised eyebrows, particularly because of the close relationship the two shared. Marite has been an instrumental figure in Samidoh’s career, managing his bookings, public appearances, and social media presence, contributing significantly to his rise in Kenya’s music scene.
Their partnership had appeared rock-solid, making the sudden fallout even more perplexing.
Speculation surrounding the termination centers on allegations of financial misconduct.
According to circulating reports on social media, Marite is accused of using Samidoh’s name to solicit money from entertainment venues without the artist’s consent.
This alleged exploitation of Samidoh’s brand appears to have been the tipping point, leading to the abrupt severance of their professional ties.
Though neither Samidoh nor Marite has officially confirmed the specific reasons for the split, the public announcement marks the end of a long-standing professional collaboration.
