Nadia Speaks on Emotional Struggles
In the statement, Nadia revealed that the couple had been on and off for nearly one and a half years as she tried to fight for their family and relationship.
“Balancing motherhood, healing, work, and public life while trying to remain strong for my children has been one of the hardest experiences I have faced.”
She added that despite hoping things would eventually improve, the relationship reached a point where separation became unavoidable.
“Being a lady that always wanted family, I fought sooo hard, but I guess I lost.”
Commitment to Co-parenting
Despite the breakup, Nadia said both she and Arrow Bwoy would continue working together as parents and focus on giving their children a peaceful environment.
“They deserve peace, stability, and unconditional love from both parents.”
Online Reactions Flood Social Media
Shortly after her announcement, social media platforms were flooded with reactions from fans and followers, with many sharing sympathy, humour and relationship opinions.
One user commented:
“Mimi, I will get married and enjoy marriage; no pattern such as break up will be my portion in Jesus Mighty Name.”
Another wrote:
“Kwa kina ndoa script ni ile ile.”
Some users referenced lyrics from the couple’s songs and their widely followed romance, with one joking:
“Sometimes tunarudiana tunaachana na hatuachaaani.”
Others focused on the revelation that the relationship had reportedly been unstable for close to two years.
“Gosh, the caption😭😂 eti nearly 2 YEARS of on and off.”
“I Deserve Respect”
The breakup announcement comes just weeks after Nadia spoke emotionally about being labelled a “side chick” in online conversations.
In a viral Instagram Reels video, the singer criticised the term as offensive and disrespectful, saying it ignored the sacrifices she had made as both a mother and an artist at the peak of her career.
“Mimi ni mtu nimeingia labour nimezaa watoto wawili. At the height of my career, the least that I deserve is respect.”
