Thie Ukiũmaga: The Controversial Kikuyu Song That Has Caught The Country By Storm. You Will Be Shocked By What The Song Means

In 2014, a certain Kamba son called ‘Fundamentals’ by Ken Wa Maria caught the nation by storm and this year guys cannot seem to get enough of Thie Ukiũmaga.

Thie Ukiũmaga is a catchy track by Jose Gatutura where he talks about his promiscuous cousin who jumps form bed to bed. Irene is not picky when it comes to the choice of bedfellows; she does not care whether ashy or sick the person is, as long as he coughs up 20 shilling or even 100 Kshs, Irene is game.

“ Wendo waku ũgitua keki ya birthday, oh mudu ukamũtiniria gacunji…wee wi sexi hawker Irene watata.” (Your love is like a birthday cake, everybody gets a piece…you are a sex hawker Irene my cousin)” reads part of the lyrics.

The part where things get controversial is where he sings ‘Thie ũkiumaga na umenye mũkingo ni ũgwati’. Many suggest that the part he sings ‘Thie ũkiumaga’ means that the cousin has had so much sex so he warns her that AIDS is real, and that she can go ‘drying’ from all the ejaculation she gathered from her lovers.
