In the ever-buzzing world of Ugandan entertainment, rumors and gossip often swirl around the biggest names in the business, and no one seems to be immune to them. Recently, whispers have been circulating about potential conflicts between Swangz Avenue, one of Uganda’s leading record labels, and some of its star artists, including the fiery Winnie Nwagi and the talented Elijah Kitaka. However, a reliable source from Swangz Avenue has vehemently denied these claims, calling the rumors “baseless” and “rubbish.”
The Rumor Mill: What’s Really Going On?
The speculation began after local gossip channels, including a prominent YouTube personality, hinted that Winnie Nwagi might be considering leaving Swangz Avenue due to rising tensions with her management team. According to the YouTuber, these tensions were said to stem from friction between the label’s leadership and the “FireBaby” hitmaker. The YouTuber even claimed that Nwagi had begun taking matters into her own hands by changing her booking team, with some of her shows no longer going through Swangz Avenue.
These rumors set off a firestorm of speculation among fans and the general public, eager to know whether the sensational reports could have any truth to them. After all, Nwagi is one of Uganda’s most prominent music stars, and her association with Swangz Avenue has played a pivotal role in her rise to fame. Could a rift between them be brewing? Would it affect the future of her career?
Swangz Avenue Responds: Clearing the Air
However, a trusted insider from Swangz Avenue wasted no time in shutting down the gossip. Speaking exclusively to Mbu, the source categorically described the rumors as “rubbish” and emphasized that there was no truth to the allegations. In fact, according to the source, things are running smoothly between Nwagi and the label, and there is no indication of any ongoing tension.

This statement has surely come as a relief to both fans of Nwagi and those invested in the success of Swangz Avenue, which remains one of the most influential labels in Uganda’s music scene.
Nwagi’s Upcoming Performance: A Show of Confidence
To further put the rumors to rest, the Swangz Avenue representative highlighted Nwagi’s upcoming performance at the much-anticipated #RoastAndRhyme Reggae Ragga Nyam Nyam Edition. This event is set to take place on February 23, 2025, at the scenic shores of Lake Victoria, specifically at the Jahazi Pier in Munyonyo.
