The announcement, made by Samidoh Entertainment, on September 25, 2024, sent shockwaves through Kenya’s entertainment industry, raising questions about the sudden fallout between the two close associates.
Samidoh Entertainment released a statement declaring that Marite would no longer represent or conduct business on behalf of the popular musician, effective immediately.
The dismissal has fueled speculation, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that Marite had allegedly used Samidoh’s name to solicit money from entertainment venues without the artist’s consent.
Though these claims remain unproven, the decision has left fans and industry observers curious about the reasons behind the split.
Marite, who had played an instrumental role in guiding Samidoh’s career, took to social media to break his silence.
His tone was gracious and reflective as he thanked Samidoh for the opportunity to manage his career, acknowledging the highs and lows they experienced together.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Samidoh, HSC, for trusting me and according me the opportunity to be part of his great band,” Marite wrote.
“Every opportunity to serve is a gift; thank you for allowing me to unwrap it with you.”
Marite went on to apologize for any missteps during his tenure, accepting responsibility for any mistakes he might have made, knowingly or unknowingly.
“My sincere apologies to you for instances where I have wronged you and your brand,” he added, offering a heartfelt note to the artist and his team.
Despite the end of their professional relationship, Marite expressed hope for the future, promising to resolve any outstanding business matters with clients.
“To clients, it’s my belief everything proceeds tentatively as planned. For any special cases with concerns, I will personally address them before the due dates of your bookings,” he assured.
In a reflective conclusion, Marite expressed his acceptance of the change and his hopes for Samidoh’s continued success.
“Change in life is inevitable. I have hit the ceiling. I wish this great brand/band the very best moving forward, and I have no doubt it will continue to thrive.”
The split between Samidoh and Marite, who had worked closely for years, has left many wondering what’s next for both parties.
Samidoh, whose popularity has soared in recent years, continues to dominate the Mugithi scene, and it remains to be seen how the managerial shift will affect his career trajectory.
As for Marite, his departure marks the end of a significant chapter in both his and Samidoh’s professional lives.
For now, both parties seem determined to move forward with grace, leaving fans and the entertainment world waiting for what comes next.
