Gospel musician Karangu Muraya has addressed the recent turmoil surrounding his marriage with his first wife, Triza Njeri.

The musician took to Facebook where he released a statement calling for privacy as he and his wife, Triza, navigate their marital challenges.

This comes hours after Karangu's friends visited Triza's parents in a bid to mediate between the pair.

In his statement, Karangu acknowledged the challenges they have faced over the past few days and highlighted the impact it has had on him and his family.

Additionally, he apologised for any distress the messy situation might have caused to his loved ones.

"I have always believed in love, respect, and harmony, even in the face of difficulties. My wife, Triza, remains someone I deeply respect, and I honour her choices," Karangu's wrote.

Karangu shared that he will take some time to do some personal reflection and also called for understanding as he and Triza work through their issues behind closed doors.

"I kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this chapter of our lives. Life is a journey, and though this moment is difficult, I trust that we will rise stronger and wiser. I appreciate the love and support I have received and remain hopeful for better days ahead," he added.

Drama between Karangu and Triza came up after Valentine's Day when Triza went live on TikTok with her friend Tata Essy, tearfully accusing Karangu of neglecting her after marrying his second wife, Carol Kim.

She claimed that Karangu favoured Carol, buying her a better car, a more expensive phone, and even building her a house in an affluent Nairobi area.
