Drama is brewing in the home of popular Kikuyu gospel artist and philanthropist Karangu wa Muraya after his second wife’s baby daddy publicly declared he will not sit back and watch another man raise his child. The man, whose identity remains undisclosed for now, has threatened to take legal action in a bid to gain custody of his daughter, citing concerns over her upbringing.
“I won’t allow Karangu wa Muraya to raise my daughter while I am alive,” the enraged father said in a heated exchange that has now gone viral on social media. His statement has stirred public attention, with many divided on the issue.
According to sources close to the family, the dispute stems from Karangu’s decision to fully integrate the child into his new family setup. He has reportedly been playing a fatherly role to the girl since getting into a relationship with her mother, who is now recognized as his second wife. The baby daddy, however, claims he has been sidelined and stripped of his parental rights.
The furious father insists he is capable of providing for his daughter emotionally, financially, and spiritually — and will not be silenced as another man, no matter how prominent, steps in to fill his shoes. “I have every right to be in my child’s life. If it means going to court to seek custodial orders, I’m ready,” he added.
Karangu wa Muraya, known for his charitable works and outspoken nature, has yet to respond publicly to the allegations or the looming court battle. But sources close to him maintain that his intentions have always been pure and guided by love for all the children under his care.
The unfolding custody drama has sparked mixed reactions online. Some have backed the biological father’s fight to reclaim his role in his daughter’s life, while others believe Karangu should be praised for stepping up and caring for a child who isn’t biologically his.
As tensions rise and legal threats loom, only time will tell how this emotional tug-of-war will end. One thing is clear — the battle for custody is not just about legal rights, but also about fatherhood, pride, and the complexities of blended families.
