For some of you who didn’t know, Karun –then called Miss Karun– came to the entertainment lime light at a very tender, she was a teenager as she started out singing catchy hooks and choruses for the unforgettable hit records of the internationally acclaimed music group –now defunct– Camp Mulla.
Most of the songs if not all of the Camp Mulla songs had her perfect vocals on the hook and we loved her for those catchy hooks she wrote for the group.
Now a solo artiste, a mother of one, and a musical genius, Karun is bound to take the Kenyan music scene to the international level exponentially and in the mean time doesn’t want anything to do with the name Miss Karun, which she has confessed that it instills bad memories for her.
Taking to Twitter, Karun opened up about why she doesn’t want to be attached with the “Miss” that was previously attached to her now mononym moniker name today.
Karun said that the name “Miss” brings back bad memories to the days where older men wanted to take advantage of her even though she was just a teenager.
“Guys please stop calling me *miss* Karun. That’s not my name. Never has been. I associate that name with older men who wanted to smash when I was 16 yrs old and just got into the industry. I heard that *miss* & I shudder. Ew. Gross. Just don’t please.” Karun expound on Twitter why she doesn’t want to be associated with “Miss” anymore.

Taking time to explain further, Karun –who has recently released her hit record ‘Hit Me Up’ off her upcoming ‘GLOW’ EP to be expected on January 17th 2020– said that not all older men wanted to take advantage of her when she’s was a young artiste in the unforgiving music industry but there were most of men who wanted to take advantage of her that still gives her creeps every time someone calls her Miss Karun in-lieu of Karun.
Karun also took to Instagram to expound further on how her life being a part of the music industry at such a tender age was iterating that not all men gave her the bad vibes saying that she is okay for the people who were calling her that unknowingly in the past.
Karun added on Instagram saying;
Also please note:
1. Not all the men in the industry gave me these vibes, but there were a lot, so it still creeps me out.
2. If you ever called me this unknowingly its ok, now you know.
3. If you’re a day one who’s grown with me, evolved with me, respected my phases, THANK YOU! You guys are so dope, and I look forward to making more music for you guys.
