Philip Etale hails Mulamwah after ugly online spat with Ruth K
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party Director of Communications, Philip Etale, has hailed comedian David Oyando, widely known as Mulamwah, a day after engaging in an ugly online spat with his ex-lover, Ruth Njoki Karegi, alias Ruth K.
Taking to his official X account on the night of Friday, June 20, 2025, Etale described Mulamwah as a real man.
He went ahead to state that the comedian should be invited to the next men’s conference as a keynote speaker.
“My kinsman Mulamwa is a real man. He should be invited to the next men’s conference to give the keynote address. His effrontery is on a different level,” Etale stated.
Mulamwah and Ruth K’s spat
Mulamwah and Ruth K, on Thursday, June 19, 2025, traded barbs that were triggered by Ruth’s claims that she has been enduring disrespect from the comedian after their bitter separation.
“Sometimes silence is taken for granted. It’s been barely three months since the breakup, and I’ve faced disrespect in ways you wouldn’t even imagine in public and worse in private,” she lamented.
“I’m trying to heal, gather myself emotionally, but it’s draining. You send Ksh5000 and reverse it, then have the nerve to screenshot a photo I put so much effort into? The audacity is loud. Enough is enough. I take my respect back. One day, I will tell my story,” she stated.
While responding to the claims, Mulamwah blamed Ruth for their breakup, stating that her friends influenced her decision to end things. He also noted that she was being disrespectful to his parents.
“It was a nice ride, young lady. Don’t cry wolf. You broke your own home with your two hands. I warned you of the so-called friends; now see… You never listened; you kept following their advice until they helped you move out of home to Ruaka because of their jealousy of your home, family, and achievements,” he stated.
“I gave you some deals and a name online; you got money and became proud; you disrespected me and my parents as well. You are staying under my shelter, yet you are buying your household items. A day came; you found reasons for you to leave me and left.”
Mulamwah and Ruth K’s apologies
However, the duo issued public apologies to their fans following the drama.
Taking to his official social media channels on Thursday night, June 19, 2025, Mulamwah apologised to his ex-lover and his fans.
“I have retraced my steps and was driven by a lot of factors, but that does not justify the actions taken and done. I take back my words. Poleni sana to the fans; I have disappointed lots of you in so many ways. Pole sana to R.K. Mama Oyando. I forgive you; I hope you forgive too. Let’s focus on the work ahead, na tuombe mungu atupee mwelekeo, when it comes to making decisions in the future,” Mulamwah posted.
On her part, Ruth asked her followers for forgiveness, noting that she has been going through a lot privately.
“I want to start by saying I am truly sorry. I know today’s posts may have come off the wrong way, and I take full responsibility. I should have done better; I will be here. Behind the scenes, I’ve been going through a quiet storm that has reminded me just how much I carry every single day. As a single mom, raising my son is both my greatest responsibility and my biggest blessing. He’s the cousin I fight so hard. The reason I want to become a better woman. And the reason I’ve chosen to take a step back and refocus on what really matters – him, my growth, and my brand,” Ruth apologised.
