July 8, 2020
Tanzanian singer Vanessa Mdee has come out to deny allegations that her boyfriend, Nigerian actor Rotimi, is abusive.
According to Mdee, the rumors started circulating after one of Rotimi's ex-girlfriends shared her experience with an abusive partner on social media.
However, Mdee revealed that the ex-girlfriend was actually referring to another man, not Rotimi.
She stated that Rotimi's ex-girlfriend was trying to educate women who have been in abusive relationships, giving them hope that life can move forward despite a difficult past.
Vanessa Mdee also clarified that Rotimi is not the type of man to hurt a woman, and she has been dating him for a few months now.
She expressed her frustration with people spreading false stories about her boyfriend, saying, 'I will not be bullied on social media; I will not be that person Wanahabari wataandika kitu juu yangu alafu nitabaki kimya.'
She went on to add that the allegations are not only false but also damaging to Rotimi's reputation.
Vanessa Mdee concluded her statement by saying, 'So yeye aliandika blog post zamani akimzungumzia Ex-wake sio Rotimi akisema yakwamba alikuwa na mipango na yeye na vitu vingi. Alikuwa anajaribu Kuguza jamii na wanawake ambao wamepitia vitu vingi kama hivyo.'
