Carol Kim, the second wife of popular Kikuyu gospel singer Karangu Muraya, has left netizens in awe after sharing a throwback music video that unearthed her secret past as a gospel artiste.

Carol, known for her bold online presence, recently found herself in the spotlight after curious netizens unearthed old videos of her singing.

Instead of shying away, she leaned into the moment with humour and grace.

"Sasa mnaniuliza nini? Mimi nyimbo nilitoa kitambo na tukalaunch 2015, mbona mnazifufua?" she wrote, addressing fans who were surprised by her little-known musical past.

In a surprising turn, Carol took control of the narrative and posted one of her own music videos, showcasing her singing a gospel song in praise of God.

She was dressed in a classic skirt suit and a red blouse. The video, clearly from nearly a decade ago, had the grainy quality typical of that era.

She captioned it with a powerful message:

"This one, I sang to myself. I have seen it all. It is you God, who sees even in secret. Fufueni zote basi. Lakini poverty aki uzuri suit nilianza kuvaa kitambo."

The 34-year-old went on to reflect on the setbacks she faced in her music journey, revealing how her career stalled shortly after launching the video.

She recalled investing part of her earnings into a Sacco, only to watch her savings disappear.

"After launch 2015 nikasema wacha nusu ya hiyo pesa nipeleke Goodlife Sacco. Wadau, hiyo Sacco iliporomoka kuliko ukuta za Jericho. Anyway, I have suffered," she wrote.

Karangu could not contain his amusement and jumped into the comment section, laughing heartily at the revelation.

Social media users were equally tickled and touched by Carol's honesty and talent, with many drawing comparisons between her and Karangu’s first wife, gospel singer Triza Njeri, whose music career is currently on the rise.

Fans joked that Karangu must have a soft spot for gospel singers himself being one.

Here are some social media reactions:

"Uko na Nyota ya waimbaji baba Muraya."

"How old are you again?"

"Na kwa nini watu wengi huanza na uzee alafu wanamalizia kuwa baby girl 😅 wewe ni tutam I swear."

"We all have a story of where God took some of us ,what we have been through & where we are heading in life!"

"Kweli umetoka far Carol Kim praise the Lord kabisa. I am happy for you."

"Kwani ulikuwa unajua what you will face later🙈. hiyo familia SI Unit( system international) yenu ni kuimba."

In other news, Karangu treated fans to a peek at his successful chicken farming enterprise.

The gospel singer showcased his extensive poultry farm located on his Gatundu mansion in Kiambu County.

He shared images of himself gathering trays full of eggs, a clear sign of his hard work paying off.
