They got the message - Winnie Nwagi on why she’s no longer involved in scandal

"They got the message and they no longer do to me what used to annoy me," Nwagi said while speaking to the media.

"People learn just as how you beat a child and tell them not to do it again."

Until recently, Nwagi has always been known for not holding back when someone gets in her way. She's always ready to retaliate.

Last year was dramatic for her, including the time she was kicked out of the ministry of internal affairs.

Before that, she had been accused of assaulting her housemaid, a waitress at Eddy Kitchen Restaurant in Kamwokya, and quarreling with a promoter among others.

At some point, there were even speculations she could sever ties with her record label Swangz Avenue. But she later said that their relationship is still tight.

Benon Mugumbya, one of the directors at Swangz even praised her recently.

"There are times when things go wrong, and because she is in the public eye, a lot of things are blown out of proportion. But Winnie is a very sweet girl. Very shy, very down to earth,” Mugumbya said.

"Only that when you cross the line with her, she won't hesitate to retaliate. Sometimes she is very quick to react. She has that weakness. But besides that, she is very cool.”

Despite landing her in trouble at times, a lot of people admire Nwagi for her personality, including Buganda Prime Minister Peter Mayiga.
