You can’t tell people you are 25 all the time,” she says. “You are not going to stay young forever. It is very rare that a female celebrity will say her age freely.

Born in Namasuba along Entebbe road to businessman Henry Kabiito and the late Sarah Namuddu 27 years ago, Nwagi has lived with the trappings of an urban life. Nwagi has lived almost all her life in the city. Swangz Avenue has signed only five artistes so far: Irene Ntale, Nwagi, Joel Kisakye, Zulanda, and Black Skin. One Zulanda has written two of her songs – Embeera and Ky’owulira – while Chagga and Chosen Blood penned Gwennonya and Katono Katono, respectively. Since signing with them in 2014 after she emerged third in the second season of the Coca-Cola Rated Next competitions, she has released songs such as Embeera, Gwennonya, Katono Katono, Ky’owulira, Science, Googo, Musawo and Kibulamu, which is her latest. Throughout the interview, the curvy singer says she is grateful to Swangz for transforming her life. Before this car, Nwagi had a specific boda boda man that would drive her to all locations save for music shows, where the studio car would play a part. She says she is slowly learning to drive with the help of friends before she joins a driving school. Who would blame Mugumbya Nwagi has of late become Swangz Avenue’s gold… It came in as a surprise from her producer, Benon Mugumbya, and the video of her receiving the car has gone viral. Nwagi says she has worked hard to get the ride, although she expected it later at the end of the year.

I can forget to fuel like any other person, but I have the money,” she says with a cheeky smile. As we approached Namuwongo, the car ran out of fuel and we had to wait a little there,” Nwagi says. We came back home late in the night yesterday and we forgot to fuel the car. She greets us before offering a calm apology for her late arrival. When we set out to meet her at the agreed venue – Swangz Avenue studios in Muyenga – for an interview at midday last Friday, Nwagi is late by 40 minutes.īut she soon appears in her latest acquisition – a white Mitsubishi Pajero iO – dressed in a brown top, tight black pants and brown short boots, an outfit that accentuates her much-talked-about voluptuous figure. And she confesses Musawo is now her ‘baby’, given its exceptional reception from the public.

Everywhere you turn in town, clubs, radio and TV, you will not miss this Musawo song from Winnie Nakanwagi, aka Nwagi.
