You heard it first from us last week!

And now, for the first time since Pulse hinted that former Camp Mullah only girl member Miss Karun, the former teen sensation who has since joined the Cosmic Homies music movement has spoken out about her pregnancy.

“My first trimester was difficult. For most people it is difficult because you’re sick a lot. I went to Boston and I was by myself. I had to take long train rides to my apartment where I was living with people who weren’t very friendly, so that took a lot of strength,” she says in an interview she did with wgnetworks.tv.

And she goes on: “I don’t know where that strength came from. It’s like I have an extra reserve tank now, for when I feel depleted, it’s like ‘nope – you can keep going. I hope this is one of the things that stays into motherhood.”

The 22-year-old singer who was the face of the youthful urban female star and who together with her Camp Mullah group took Africa by storm has been the talk of town all week after she went public with her pregnancy on Sunday on the Cosmic Homies Facebook page that is widely shared by like-mind singers.

And the optimistic sounding Miss Karun went ahead to share her story to the world using her social media space.

“This is definitely the most powerful thing that’s ever happened to me, in all directions – not just powerful positive or powerful negative, it’s just... powerful. That (is) mother earth kind of energy... I can try explain it to you, but also every woman’s pregnancy is different,” she posted.

“What I personally experience is random surges of creativity – but at the same time a lack of interest in music. So! My creativity has not been in what I’ve been or what I’ve invested my entire life into – which can be heart-breaking at times – but at least, I’ve had some kind of a (creative) release. Like – I still draw, I still paint, I still have incredible ideas that seem to come out of nowhere,” on and on, she went.

“Another powerful thing about being pregnant is that you get this super human quality that I’d heard of, but that... when you experience it... you realise that the human body is actually really incredible and –where the hell did all this strength come from?” Miss Karun’s departure to the United States made showbiz headlines. It was even well documented through a press release that Miss Karun, who had President Uhuru Kenyatta attend her solo album listening party, was leaving the celebrated urban group Camp Mulla for studies in America.

And with this expectations have been high on her music career and her fans have eagerly been waiting for her return. Together with the other Cosmic Homies, they held a successful tour early last year and even as her return was announced last week, this year’s tour was one of the events Pulse had closely been watching.

Last year, she released her love ballad Need You The Most, alongside her Tanzanian friend Joseph Kiwango, around the same period when the two were rumoured to be dating. This is the only dating rumour that has since been related to her and as to who the father of the baby is, is still a matter of conjecture...
