Ruth K Clarifies Rumors About Her Alleged Traditional Wedding with Mulamwah

October 2023, Ruth K and comedian Mulamwah hosted a vibrant and culturally rich celebration that left many Kenyans convinced they had officially tied the knot. The lively event, filled with music, dance, and smiles, was widely assumed to be their traditional wedding ceremony.

However, Ruth K has now set the record straight. In a recent video on her YouTube channel, she clarified that the event was neither a traditional wedding nor a Ruracio (dowry payment ceremony), contrary to public belief.

“Sisi hatukuwa tunajua huezi fanya Ruracio ukiwa na ball, na tulikuwa tushawambia wazazi dates, but they said it was impossible,” she explained.

(Translation: “We didn’t know you can’t do a Ruracio while pregnant. We had already shared the dates with our parents, but they said it wasn’t allowed.”)

At the time, Ruth hadn’t disclosed her pregnancy to her family, adding to the complexity of the situation. In many Kenyan communities, conducting dowry negotiations while the bride-to-be is expectant is seen as culturally inappropriate or taboo.

“After learning this, we had to revise our plans,” she added. “That’s why we ended up having an introduction ceremony two weeks after the original date.”

Breakup Claims & Clout Chasing Allegations

Ruth’s revelation comes amid a wave of online speculation following reports of her breakup with Mulamwah. The comedian recently took to social media to announce their split, but many netizens aren’t convinced, calling it a publicity stunt—especially with Mulamwah’s new show on the horizon.

One skeptical fan commented:

“You’ve broken up, and yet bride price was paid? They even did a traditional wedding while she was pregnant.”

The comment prompted Ruth to share her video explanation, aiming to put the rumors to rest.

Online reactions to the supposed breakup have been mixed:

• “Haya basi tutanunua tickets, msiwachane.”

• “Clout chasing through breakups is outdated—come up with better content.”

• “Their relationship looked so genuine. It’s sad, especially now that they have a child together.”

• “Why do relationships always get rocky after a baby? It’s becoming common among celebs—it should be researched.”

While the future of their relationship remains uncertain, Ruth’s video offered clarity on a widely misunderstood chapter of their journey—revealing just how layered public perception can be when it comes to love, culture, and life in the limelight.
