Karangu Muraya’s ex-wife Triza Njeria declares she’ll never cook for a man

Gospel singer and social media personality Triza Njeri, popularly known as Mamake Muraya, has opened up about her changing views on marriage, domestic responsibilities and the kind of partnership she hopes to have in the future.

Speaking during a TikTok live session on Friday, June 19, 2026, the musician said she no longer sees traditional kitchen duties as a requirement in her future marriage, explaining that her focus has shifted towards building wealth and having a supportive partner.

The comments came as she discussed her expectations for a future relationship following her separation from Akorino philanthropist and influencer Karangu Muraya.

Prioritising business over household expectations

Njeri explained that she wants a partner who is willing to build a business empire with her rather than one who expects her to carry the full burden of household chores.

“Now, if someone marries me, let them marry me, and we do business and look for money together, not pushing me to cook for him. There are chefs for that job,” she said.

She noted that modern relationships should focus more on teamwork, shared ambitions and financial growth rather than placing all domestic responsibilities on one person.

Balancing work and home life

The singer acknowledged that she is capable of cooking but said the demands of her career make it difficult to maintain a routine where she returns home after a long day and immediately heads to the kitchen.

“I can’t cook. Imagine coming from exhausting daily activities to enter the kitchen to cook chapati, I can’t,” she said.

Njeri explained that after spending the day working, she prefers having time to rest and recharge instead of feeling pressured to meet traditional expectations.

“I cannot look for the money and also stay there to cook. I cannot imagine that I would even go home to cook for someone,” she added.

Support for professional chefs

The content creator suggested that hiring chefs is a practical solution for busy couples, arguing that it creates employment opportunities for people with cooking skills.

“Right now we have home chefs who you can call to cook. Let chefs who can be hired get that money,” she said.

According to her, outsourcing household tasks should not be viewed negatively but as part of adapting to modern lifestyles.

A new perspective on independence

During the session, Njeri reflected on how her views on relationships have been shaped by her ability to support herself and create her own income.

She emphasised that her priorities have changed, with personal growth, financial stability and partnership now taking centre stage.

The discussion sparked conversations online, with many followers debating changing expectations around marriage, gender roles and how modern couples should divide responsibilities.
