Arrow Bwoy Falls to Shakib in Anticipated Clash

Arrow Bwoy stepped into the ring against Ugandan businessman and boxer Shakib Cham Lutaaya, husband to Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan, in what many considered the headline fight of the evening.

In the weeks before the event, Arrow Bwoy and Shakib traded verbal jabs on social media, with the rivalry escalating as some of the exchanges dragged Zari into the conversation.

The online drama helped build anticipation for the fight, making it the most anticipated match of Vurugu 2.0.

However, when the final bell rang, Shakib emerged victorious, handing the Kenyan singer a disappointing defeat.

Nadia Mukami Encourages Arrow Bwoy

Despite their past relationship, Nadia Mukami took to social media to encourage the father of her children, praising him for having the courage to step into the ring.

“To Baba Watoto, for a first fight, you tried a lot!!! Your first time in the arena and you did it!!! You brought showbiz and skills as that was the most anticipated match of Vurugu 2 because of you!” she wrote.

Nadia further urged Arrow Bwoy to ignore criticism and online mockery following the loss.

“People are talking about Arrow Bwoy! That’s enough! Ignore the hate and the memes; some can’t even survive half a round. Now up you go! Keep training. Big stages ahead,” she added.

Fans React to Nadia’s Message

Nadia’s message quickly sparked mixed reactions online.

While many praised her maturity and kindness, others questioned why she was publicly supporting her ex-partner after their separation.

Some followers interpreted the post as a sign that the two may still share a close bond despite no longer being romantically involved.

Others argued that fans were reading too much into a simple message of encouragement.

Nadia Defends Healthy Co-Parenting

As criticism mounted, Nadia responded through her Instagram Stories, clarifying that her support had nothing to do with desperation or unresolved feelings.

Instead, she explained that she had chosen to prioritise healthy co-parenting.

“To the people saying Nadia is desperate, NO! I just decided to embrace healthy co-parenting. I am too bubbly to carry hate in my heart. I am too tiny to carry the burden of hate in my heart; that’s too heavy for me,” she wrote.

Her response was widely praised by supporters, who applauded her for promoting a positive relationship with the father of her children.
