The deeply personal song delves into the struggles of navigating a toxic relationship, leaving fans speculating whether it was inspired by his past romance with Karen Nyamu, a nominated senator and the mother of some of his children.
In Toxic Love, Samidoh combines the soulful elements of Mugithi with touches of country music, creating a heartfelt piece that resonates with many.
The music video complements the song's themes, featuring the singer in cowboy attire, complete with a hat, boots, and a horse, reflecting on a love that continues to haunt him.
The video begins with him in deep thought, setting the stage for a narrative about love, pain, and the inability to completely move on.
The lyrics narrate the emotional rollercoaster of toxic love. In one poignant line, Samidoh acknowledges the lingering presence of his former partner, singing, “I still see you hovering around.”
He admits that despite the love they shared and his efforts to move on, he often finds himself trapped by the memories.
The singer describes the paradox of wanting to leave yet being drawn back by the same emotions he tries to suppress, likening the relationship to a prison.
Another striking verse hints at material expectations within relationships, with Samidoh referencing a comment made about comparing a guitar to a Range Rover.
This line has further fueled speculation that the song reflects his relationship with Nyamu, whose past public statements align with the sentiment expressed in the lyrics.
The release of the song has prompted mixed reactions from fans on social media.
Many believe the track is a reflection of his past with Nyamu, particularly as it highlights the struggles of co-parenting and emotional detachment.
Nyamu recently confirmed their split, stating she would not rekindle their relationship, adding further intrigue to the song’s timing and content.
While Samidoh has not explicitly confirmed the inspiration behind Toxic Love, the raw vulnerability of the song has struck a chord with listeners.
