After years of public disputes and heated exchanges, Ugandan socialite Shanita Namuyimbwa, popularly known as Bad Black, and fashion stylist Kim “Swagga” Kibirige have finally reached a co-parenting agreement for their daughter, Davina.
The two, who have been locked in a bitter back-and-forth over custody, seem to have put their differences aside for the sake of their 12-year-old child. In an announcement made on social media on Sunday, Bad Black revealed that she had decided to allow Kim Swagga back into Davina’s life after he shared his intentions for their daughter’s future.
Bad Black’s Ultimatum: A Second Chance With Conditions
In her post, the outspoken socialite disclosed that Davina would be visiting her paternal family, including her grandparents, during the holiday season. However, Bad Black made it clear that this opportunity came with a strict condition—if Kim Swagga fails to step up as a responsible father, he will permanently lose the privilege of seeing Davina.
“Dear online parents, I am here to let you know that I have given Kim Swagga back his child after long negotiations. This holiday, Davina will visit her paternal grandparents. However, if he fails to take responsibility once again, I will ensure that he never sees her again,” Bad Black wrote in a Facebook post.
A Longstanding Feud Finally Comes to an End
Bad Black and Kim Swagga’s fallout over Davina’s custody has been one of Uganda’s most talked-about celebrity feuds. The former couple, who had a brief two-month relationship before Davina was born, have never seen eye to eye when it comes to parenting.
Over the years, Bad Black has publicly accused Kim Swagga of neglecting their daughter, claiming that he was absent for much of her life. The drama escalated earlier this year when she openly shamed him for failing to provide support, leading to an explosive war of words between the two.
In an April 2024 interview with Spark TV, Kim Swagga admitted that he had not seen Davina for the past eight years, a revelation that fueled even more backlash from the public. Despite his claims that he wanted to be involved in her life, Bad Black dismissed him as an irresponsible father who had not made any real efforts to be present for their child.
From Online Attacks to Co-Parenting—What Changed?
The sudden reconciliation between the two has left many fans surprised, considering the intensity of their past disputes. Sources close to the pair suggest that Kim Swagga made several attempts to mend his relationship with his daughter, eventually convincing Bad Black to reconsider.
While Bad Black remains skeptical, she has decided to give him a chance to be a part of Davina’s life, albeit under close watch. She has made it clear that this is his final opportunity to prove himself as a father, and if he shows any signs of negligence, she will permanently cut him off from his daughter’s life.
Public Reactions: A Divided Opinion
The news of their truce has sparked mixed reactions among fans and followers. Some have applauded Bad Black for prioritizing Davina’s well-being and allowing her to build a relationship with her father. Others remain doubtful, questioning whether Kim Swagga is truly ready to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood after years of alleged neglect.
Some online users have also expressed concerns about Bad Black’s strong stance, arguing that permanently denying a child access to their father might not be the best approach. Others, however, believe that her ultimatum is justified given Kim Swagga’s history.
What’s Next for Bad Black, Kim Swagga, and Davina?
As the holiday season approaches, all eyes will be on Kim Swagga to see how he handles his renewed role as a father. Will he prove his critics wrong and show up for Davina? Or will he fall short once again and lose the opportunity for good?
For now, the socialite and the stylist have reached a fragile peace, but only time will tell whether their co-parenting arrangement will stand the test of time. One thing is certain—Bad Black has made her expectations crystal clear, and she is not one to back down easily.
