Mugithi sensation Samidoh has once again caused a stir among his followers after appearing in recent photos with his arm in a black support brace and using a walking stick. The images, shared on his social media, have left fans questioning the cause of the injury and wishing him a swift recovery.

This latest incident has amplified concerns because it is not an isolated event. The sight of the beloved musician nursing an injury has become a recurring theme, prompting a mix of sympathy and pointed commentary from the public and fellow personalities.

“Every Year,” Notes Baba Talisha

Adding a new layer to the conversation is a comment from prominent content creator and philanthropist Faustine 'Baba' Talisha. He chided the musician, highlighting that Samidoh seems to suffer an arm injury around the same time each year. “Samidoh, HSC deserves a Guinness World Record award because he breaks his arm at the exact same time every year,” another influencer, Karangu Muraya, was quoted as saying in relation to the pattern.

Baba Talisha's observation, “Kila mwaka” (every year), has resonated online, though it also drew criticism from some who felt it was insensitive to make light of his friend's situation. This is not the first time Samidoh's health has been a public topic; he was spotted with a cast on his arm in September 2024, which also left fans worried.

Impact on the Music

The immediate impact for fans is the musician's inability to play his signature guitar, a cornerstone of his electrifying Mugithi performances. While the exact nature of the wrist-related injury remains unconfirmed, the brace serves as either a healing or preventative measure. Despite the visible discomfort, Samidoh has continued to make public appearances, thanking his supporters for their energy and love during his shows.

Fan reactions have been swift and varied:

• Many have flooded his social media with messages of goodwill, such as "Quick recovery to him."
• Others have expressed concern over the frequency of the injuries, questioning the underlying cause.
• A portion of the online community has engaged with Baba Talisha's comments, with some defending him and others calling for more empathy.

As the musician navigates his recovery, his supporters are left hoping this pattern does not persist, eagerly awaiting his return to the stage at full strength, guitar in hand.
