Winnie Nwagi Child
Winnie Nwagi falls out with lover over their daughter
The love-bubble between Winnie Nwagi and her baby daddy, Josh, has burst and the two are now not seeing eye-to-eye. Looking at the postings the Musawo singer is making online, the love between these two has vanished.
She is doing it with a lot of anger, not even fans who are pleading with her to calm down is making a difference as artists like Fille, Sheebah Karungi and Bruno K, who are faced with similar problems or grew up under such circumstances are fully in support of her actions.
Winnie fondly referred to her lover as #Detergent, a title to one of her love songs is so bitter that all Josh could provide was a mere cake on his daughter’s graduation.
Just like we saw Dorothy accusing Herbert Shonga of not paying school fees, Winnie Nwagi does the same;
“He is well paid, but very selfish of his own blood, can’t even pay school fees or any bills as far as she is concerned, how mean and then you come up with just a cake, I can buy my daughter a cake too!!”
It all started with their daughter, Destiny, who graduated from nursery and will with effect from next year be in class 1, just like Bebe Cool’s son, Cayman.
Winnie’s problem is that “Detergent” only bought a cake as she revealed on Snapchat;
“So after my daughter’s graduation, guess what I found a home, a cake from who? Happy Graduation day Destiny…from Dad.” I’m like!! ooh what a fool..! Is that all you can provide for your daughter, a cake, Winnie went on to the rant.
“Just stay away with your fake love….we don’t need his love here, we are not used to it and it’s very okay.” More of the rant here;
Winnie Nwagi ranting over her baby daddy
I’ve spent more than a cake on my baby, you need to bow down, stup!d thing, don’t send us your fake cakes, we are ok without you, leave us alone,” She concluded.
She, then, put this post; “My daughter is my everything, Her father was the mistake.”
Winnie, don’t let anger drive you, One fan commented. 100% Fille Muthoni added as Bruno K supplemented with this;
“Any man who can’t be there for his child is useless. I stand with my sister, Winnie, on this.” Bruno, you are also a man, you can’t judge him because you don’t know his story, another responded.
Sheebah Karungi who was raised by only her mom also joined the thread; “My Mama is everything, my Father was her damn mistake, I hear you Nwagi.

Winnie Nwagi recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend, Rukundo Joshua following a vicious fight at home.
In a recent interview, Rukundo said he had been pushed to his limits, “I do not fight. I am a calm guy. Everyone knows it, but when I fought just know the reason was beyond me. I regret it though,” he said.
Now the two have since moved on to other things, Winnie says, “I am very happy with my current status. I am single and meeting new people. It is exciting. I am going to make new friends, and maybe someone new will come along, however you should note, it is not written anywhere that a woman should always be dating, I can decide not to,” she told us.

Winnie Nwagi: When you are still an upcoming artiste, you are undermined. I remember during Catherine Kusasira’s show at Freedom City, I was asked to perform my song Katono Katono because it was the song Catherine liked a lot, but when I stepped on stage, I first sang Embeera and while I was still introducing Katono Katono, the emcee asked the deejay to stop the music and I was bounced off the stage, I felt so irritated and I will never forget that moment.
