Nana Dollz Sets The Record Straight About Her Alleged Relationship With Ronald Karauri

Tanzanian actress, model, and influencer Nasma Hassan, popularly known as Nana Dollz, has once again found herself at the center of public attention following a revealing interview on Wasafi TV. Aired recently as of April 7, 2025, the interview delved into her rumored relationship with Kasarani MP and SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri, addressing months of speculation, controversy, and online chatter. With her signature blend of confidence and candor, Nana used the platform to clarify her stance, defend her choices, and shed light on the dynamics of their connection.

Breaking Her Silence on the Karauri Connection

The Wasafi TV interview came on the heels of explosive allegations from Tanzanian blogger Mange Kimambi, who in early April 2025 leaked photos and videos allegedly showing Nana in Karauri’s Nairobi home. The images, which included Nana posing in what appeared to be the MP’s living room and on romantic outings, fueled rumors of an affair. Kimambi accused Nana of pursuing affluent men for financial gain, even claiming she pressured Karauri to fund a lavish mansion and a swimming pool. The scandal escalated when reports surfaced that Karauri had separated from his wife, Captain Ruth Karauri, nearly three years prior, adding a layer of complexity to the narrative.
In the interview, Nana addressed these claims head-on. “I met him when he was living alone,” she stated firmly, emphasizing that their relationship began after Karauri’s marriage had ended. “He wasn’t with his wife when we started. People don’t know the full story, but they’re quick to judge.” She dismissed the notion of being a homewrecker, asserting that their bond was built on mutual respect and understanding, not opportunism.

“I’ve Never Met a Guy Like Him”

One of the most striking moments of the interview was Nana’s glowing praise for Karauri. “I’ve never met a smart and sharp guy like my boyfriend,” she said, her tone reflecting admiration. “Us being together for this long shows he’s not stupid.” This statement, which quickly went viral, underscored her belief in the strength and authenticity of their relationship.
Nana also hinted at her long-term intentions. “I’ve told him I’m in it for the commitment,” she revealed, a bold declaration that raised eyebrows given Karauri’s past marital challenges. Her words suggested a desire for stability, contrasting sharply with the public’s perception of her as a fleeting socialite chasing fame and fortune.
Defending Her Character
Beyond the relationship, Nana used the Wasafi TV platform to push back against the “gold digger” label that has dogged her since the scandal broke. “I’m not just a socialite,” she insisted. “I’m smart, educated, hardworking, kind, and God-fearing.” She pointed to her acting career—notably her role as Regina Lewa in Pazia—and her entrepreneurial ventures, including a modern mansion she’s reportedly constructing. While she acknowledged Karauri’s financial support, such as monthly contributions, she emphasized her own independence. “I direct my income to my projects. I’m not sitting around waiting for anyone to hand me things.”
This narrative aligns with earlier interviews, like one from September 2021 on Wasafi TV, where she clarified that her ex-partner (the father of her daughter Soraya) supported her with rent and fuel, but she remained a hustler. The 2025 interview reinforced this image of self-reliance, with Nana teasing a future surprise: “One day, I’ll show you something big I’ve done on my own.”

A Defiant Stance Against Critics

The interview wasn’t just about setting the record straight—it was a defiant clapback at her detractors. “I have the right to love whoever I want,” Nana declared, echoing a sentiment she’s shared on Instagram and in a prior chat with Tanzanian blogger Carrymastory. “My relationship doesn’t have to make sense to anyone except us. We’re adults, and we know what we’re doing.” She expressed frustration at the online trolling, noting, “Nobody can shame me for my choices.”
This unapologetic tone struck a chord with viewers, sparking mixed reactions. Some praised her boldness and authenticity, while others, as seen in posts on X, questioned her portrayal of virtue given Karauri’s complicated personal history. One X user remarked, “She’s hellbent on seeming virtuous, but it’s crazy to push for commitment from a man who couldn’t honor his last marriage.”

 

MP Ronald Karauri Draws Public Attention Over Alleged Relationship with Tanzanian Socialite Nana Dollz

Kasarani MP and SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri is facing intense online scrutiny after being romantically linked to Tanzanian socialite Nasma Hassan Athumani, popularly known as Nana Dollz.

Speculation was first fueled by photos showing Nana in what appeared to be the MP’s luxurious home. Online sleuths quickly began comparing furniture, décor, and architectural details to images previously shared by Karauri, concluding she was indeed inside his residence.

Adding to the buzz, videos later emerged allegedly showing the pair on romantic outings—further intensifying chatter across social media platforms.

After days of silence, Nana addressed the rumors in an interview with Tanzanian blogger Carrymastory, confirming that she is in a relationship with Karauri. She emphasized that their relationship began after Karauri had separated from his wife.

“I haven’t been kept by any man. I’m not someone who dates multiple men at the same time. I’ve only had one man—the MP I posted,” she said.
“When we started dating, he was not with his wife. He had already moved on and was living alone. The house I posted from is his private residence, not one he shares with anyone else.”

Nana also denied the narrative that she’s chasing fame or exploiting the MP for financial gain. While she admitted Karauri provides monthly support, she stated she’s financially independent and actively investing in construction projects.

“Since I met him, I’ve never been with another man. Even before him, I was with my child’s father for three years. I’ve never met a man as smart and sharp as my boyfriend.”
“We’ve been together for nearly a year and a half. He could be with anyone he wants—but he chose to stay with me. That says everything.”

Karauri, a former commercial pilot turned influential businessman and politician, has generally maintained a low-profile personal life, with no major public scandals tied to his name.

“He’s an MP. A man people respect. He lives his life quietly. So to paint him as someone involved in a messy love triangle is just absurd,” Nana said.
“He told me we owe no one an explanation. But I had to speak up—because that’s not who I am.”

As the videos and photos continued to circulate, Karauri’s personal life became a trending topic across Kenyan and Tanzanian online spaces. Despite the mounting attention, both Karauri and his wife have remained silent—leaving the public to speculate and debate the unfolding narrative.

Sportpesa CEO and Kasarani MP aspirant Capt. Ronald Karauri visits families after Fire Tragedy in Ruai Ward

The sprawling Ruai Ward in Kasarani Constituency is one of the many Nairobi satellite settlements. The area hosts the bulk of the working masses, that feeds the bustle of the city’s underbelly.

As it is, most of Ruai Ward residents are casual workers, often walking to work every morning.

On March 1st, a chilly Tuesday morning, Gatuoro village in Ruai woke up to utter destitution, after a raging fire engulfed a row of houses.

The tragedy rendered over 45 families instantly homeless, as the fire spread out of control. The origin of the fire is yet unknown. The only lucky break?

It happened towards dawn. No fatalities happened.Despair, though, quickly set in.

These families depend on their daily wages to feed, cloth and cater for their needs. There are toddlers, and school-going kids.

The G.O.T phrase: “For the night is dark, and full of sorrows” couldn’t hit harder for these poor souls. Parents suddenly have another ball added to the number they are constantly juggling – homelessness.

The people need assistance.

It’s along this thought that one of the area’s most illustrious sons chipped in with an helping hand.

This is Sportpesa CEO Captain Ronald Karauri, who’s recently ploughed into active politics. The flamboyant CEO has announced his bid to vie for Kasarani Constituency MP seat.

Uncharacteristic of his usual public appearances, which rarely lack a sort of media presence, Karauri snuck into Gatuoro Village to comfort and meet the victims of the fire.

It was a humane gesture, devoid of politicking that showed an unseen side of the public personality.

At that moment in Gatuoro village, Karauri was a father, brother, and friend to the families.

While his gifts aren’t enough to keep the homeless families going, it was a kind thought – and a pledge to walk the storm by their side, as they seek new housing.

The residents of Gatuoro Village, in Ruai Ward – Kasarani Constituency – are appealing for help.

We call on well wishers to chip in, to assist them recover bits of their lost livelihoods.

With now his beloved Range Rover Overfinch reduced to a matatu plying Bomet-Nairobi route, Kenyans were hit by news that Sportpesa CEO Rondal Karauri is not too concerned because he has just bought a plane.

He has not bought anything close to that, however.

Fake news

Speaking in an interview, the ceo who owns six percent of SportsPesa came out to share that he has not acquired a private plane contrary to what media are reporting.

“Some people have simply picked photos I took, while travelling, and added theirs to say I have a private jet,” explained Karauri who is a former pilot. “It’s not true.”

On March, 14 2018,he shared the first photo while posing beside the jet, but nobody could a certain that he was the owner.

Technicalities

K’Ogallo lost to Hull City on penalty kicks, the Kenyan champions drew 0-0 in normal time having dominated the game in first and second half.

Well, you would expect Karauri to give away his Range Rover since Gor Mahia lost. But in betting the game usually ends in regular time – 90 minutes, anything beyond 90 minutes does not count.

So as far as betting is concerned, Gor and Hull City game ended in a barren draw. This means Ronald Karauri gets to keep his Range Rover.

Karauri loves flying on a private jet, he has not yet bought his own jet but certainly the idea has crossed his mind. His love for flying on private jets is perhaps because he was a commercial pilot for 11 years.
