Kasarani Member of Parliament and SportPesa CEO Ronald Karauri has become the centre of a swirling social media storm after being romantically linked to Tanzanian socialite Nasma Hassan Athumani, popularly known as Nana Dollz.
What started as mere online gossip turned into a full-blown spectacle when hawk-eyed netizens noticed Nana posting photos from a lavish home that looked strikingly familiar. The furniture, the décor, even the lighting—all seemed to match previous images from Karauri’s known residence.
Soon after, videos began to surface, showing Nana and Karauri enjoying what appeared to be romantic escapades. One clip that really set tongues wagging was a Valentine’s Day date, which many interpreted as soft confirmation of their closeness.
As speculation reached fever pitch, with fans and critics alike demanding clarity, Nana Dollz broke her silence during a candid interview with popular Tanzanian blogger Carrymastory. In the tell-all, she confirmed what many had suspected.
“Yes, I am in a relationship with the MP,” she said unapologetically. But she was quick to set the record straight: “I didn’t break up any marriage. When our relationship started, Karauri was no longer with his wife. He was living alone.”
Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, Nana calmly dismissed claims that she was being ‘kept’ or that she was involved with multiple men.
“Sijajengewa nyumba na wanaume,” she said. “Mimi sio mtu anayekuwa na wanaume wengi kwa wakati mmoja. Nina mwanaume mmoja tu ambaye ni yule mbunge aliye posti.”
She insisted that the house she was seen in—the one that sparked all the speculation—was Karauri’s private home, and not one he shared with his wife.
“Pale anakaa pekee yake na ndio maana nilikuwa free kupost.”
While Karauri has remained tight-lipped about the situation, Nana’s revelations have only intensified the online chatter, with Kenyans and Tanzanians alike split on whether to support or criticize the couple.
Is this a story of new love blooming from a past heartbreak—or a messy entanglement shrouded in secrecy?
Only time will tell, but for now, the internet can’t seem to look away.
