Tanzanian actress, model, and influencer Nasma Hassan, popularly known as Nana Dollz, has once again found herself at the center of public attention following a revealing interview on Wasafi TV. Aired recently as of April 7, 2025, the interview delved into her rumored relationship with Kasarani MP and SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri, addressing months of speculation, controversy, and online chatter. With her signature blend of confidence and candor, Nana used the platform to clarify her stance, defend her choices, and shed light on the dynamics of their connection.<\/p>\n
The Wasafi TV interview came on the heels of explosive allegations from Tanzanian blogger Mange Kimambi, who in early April 2025 leaked photos and videos allegedly showing Nana in Karauri\u2019s Nairobi home. The images, which included Nana posing in what appeared to be the MP\u2019s living room and on romantic outings, fueled rumors of an affair. Kimambi accused Nana of pursuing affluent men for financial gain, even claiming she pressured Karauri to fund a lavish mansion and a swimming pool. The scandal escalated when reports surfaced that Karauri had separated from his wife, Captain Ruth Karauri, nearly three years prior, adding a layer of complexity to the narrative.
\nIn the interview, Nana addressed these claims head-on. “I met him when he was living alone,” she stated firmly, emphasizing that their relationship began after Karauri\u2019s marriage had ended. “He wasn\u2019t with his wife when we started. People don\u2019t know the full story, but they\u2019re quick to judge.” She dismissed the notion of being a homewrecker, asserting that their bond was built on mutual respect and understanding, not opportunism.<\/p>\n
One of the most striking moments of the interview was Nana\u2019s glowing praise for Karauri. “I\u2019ve never met a smart and sharp guy like my boyfriend,” she said, her tone reflecting admiration. “Us being together for this long shows he\u2019s not stupid.” This statement, which quickly went viral, underscored her belief in the strength and authenticity of their relationship.
\nNana also hinted at her long-term intentions. “I\u2019ve told him I\u2019m in it for the commitment,” she revealed, a bold declaration that raised eyebrows given Karauri\u2019s past marital challenges. Her words suggested a desire for stability, contrasting sharply with the public\u2019s perception of her as a fleeting socialite chasing fame and fortune.
\nDefending Her Character
\nBeyond the relationship, Nana used the Wasafi TV platform to push back against the “gold digger” label that has dogged her since the scandal broke. “I\u2019m not just a socialite,” she insisted. “I\u2019m smart, educated, hardworking, kind, and God-fearing.” She pointed to her acting career\u2014notably her role as Regina Lewa in Pazia\u2014and her entrepreneurial ventures, including a modern mansion she\u2019s reportedly constructing. While she acknowledged Karauri\u2019s financial support, such as monthly contributions, she emphasized her own independence. “I direct my income to my projects. I\u2019m not sitting around waiting for anyone to hand me things.”
\nThis narrative aligns with earlier interviews, like one from September 2021 on Wasafi TV, where she clarified that her ex-partner (the father of her daughter Soraya) supported her with rent and fuel, but she remained a hustler. The 2025 interview reinforced this image of self-reliance, with Nana teasing a future surprise: “One day, I\u2019ll show you something big I\u2019ve done on my own.”<\/p>\n
The interview wasn\u2019t just about setting the record straight\u2014it was a defiant clapback at her detractors. “I have the right to love whoever I want,” Nana declared, echoing a sentiment she\u2019s shared on Instagram and in a prior chat with Tanzanian blogger Carrymastory. “My relationship doesn\u2019t have to make sense to anyone except us. We\u2019re adults, and we know what we\u2019re doing.” She expressed frustration at the online trolling, noting, “Nobody can shame me for my choices.”
\nThis unapologetic tone struck a chord with viewers, sparking mixed reactions. Some praised her boldness and authenticity, while others, as seen in posts on X, questioned her portrayal of virtue given Karauri\u2019s complicated personal history. One X user remarked, “She\u2019s hellbent on seeming virtuous, but it\u2019s crazy to push for commitment from a man who couldn\u2019t honor his last marriage.”<\/p>\n
