A video making the rounds online has put Kikuyu musician Muigai wa Njoroge’s household back in the spotlight, and this time it was his second wife, Stacey, who lit the match.
In the clip, Muigai was seen sharing a lively dance with his first wife, Gladys Njeri, at a social occasion. The two move together comfortably, clearly familiar with each other, while the camera captures the moment in full. What makes the footage particularly striking is who posted it: Stacey herself, Muigai’s second wife, who shared it on her social media without any visible hesitation.
The video elicited mixed reactions, with netizens confused about whether Muigai and his first wife had reunited after their bitter split. Njeri spoke about the devastating emotional toll of her separation from Muigai, including depression and alcohol use.
Inside Muigai’s polygamous home
Muigai wa Njoroge is one of Kenya’s most celebrated Kikuyu gospel and folk musicians, known for his deeply traditional sound and lyrics that often touch on culture, faith and family. He openly practices polygamy, a lifestyle he has spoken about on several occasions and has never attempted to conceal from the public.
His marital arrangement has been a recurring topic of conversation among fans and critics alike. Over the years, both wives have appeared in public settings alongside the musician, presenting what Muigai has described as a harmonious household.
He has previously said that his wives understand and respect each other, and that peace in the home is built on honesty and clear communication. However, in January 2024, after Njeri publicly announced that she was no longer with Muigai, Stacey took to social media to mock her.
Muigai’s 2nd wife Queen Stacey posts the video
The decision by Stacey to post a video of her husband dancing with his first wife is what has caught people off guard. For many viewers, sharing such footage would feel uncomfortable, yet Stacey appeared unbothered, almost as if she were simply documenting a family moment like any other.

The clip has sparked fresh conversation about what day-to-day life actually looks like inside a polygamous marriage, and whether the ease on display is genuine or carefully curated for public consumption.
Muigai has long maintained that his family life is built on African tradition and mutual respect, and the video, whether intentionally or not, adds another layer to that ongoing narrative.
