Popular Kenyan musician Samidoh has ignited widespread discussion online after posting a bold take on modern relationships between Gen Z and millennials. In a now-viral social media post, the Mugithi star claimed that there is no real relationship between the two generations, stating, “One is there for fun, and the other is there out of hunger.”
The blunt statement, though brief, has stirred reactions across social media platforms, with fans, critics, and relationship experts chiming in on what many see as a reflection of generational misalignment in dating.
Samidoh’s message suggests a transactional or superficial nature in many Gen Z-millennial pairings. While he didn’t elaborate further, the implication was clear: these relationships might lack genuine connection, often formed out of fleeting interests or unmet needs.
Supporters of his view argue that the generational gap in values and life priorities often creates a disconnect. Gen Z is seen as experimental, valuing freedom and fun, while millennials—many of whom are navigating adulthood, careers, and family planning—are perceived as more emotionally or financially invested.
However, not everyone agrees. Some netizens fired back, calling the statement a generalization that unfairly labels young people as unserious and millennials as desperate.
Whether taken as social commentary or provocation, Samidoh’s post has certainly struck a chord, opening up a wider conversation about love, compatibility, and how age shapes relationship dynamics in today’s society.
