Songwriter and singer, Ali Yusuf, better known as Arrow Bwoy, says contrary to some public opinion, he is not intimidated by his girlfriend’s success.
Arrow Bwoy came into the limelight long before his girlfriend. When the two met, Nadia was still struggling to establish her name in the game.
But now the tide seems to have turned, and according to some quarters on social media, Nadia has fared better than his lover in recent years.
Statistically, Nadia has enjoyed a good reception for her music, amassing over 20 million streams on Boomplay as of 2022, compared to 10 million streams on the same platform for Arrow Bwoy as of February 2023.
While Arrow Bwoy’s critics think he should be worried if he isn’t already, the “Tutu” hit singer finds such opinions laughable.
“They say kelele za chura hazimzui ng’ombe kunywa maji (the croaking of frogs doesn’t stop a cow from drinking water). The thing about us is that we celebrate each other when each of us does well. I’m never intimidated by my wife’s success and that’s because we truly love and support each other. Also, as the man of the house, I have never failed in my responsibilities. I have always supported and provided for my family. I have never failed to provide for my child or my wife even when she is doing well in her endeavors. Arrow Bwoy asserts.
Besides, Arrow Bwoy says he has watched his girlfriend grow from a nobody to somebody in the music industry and has been a part of her journey since they first met.
That’s why Arrow Bwoy, who has been dating Nadia for six years and they now have a son together, doesn’t mind such negative comments about his relationship because the public doesn’t understand their journey.
“I always laugh or ignore such negative statements, you know ‘mtaachana tu’, ‘hamkai poa pamoja’ kind of comments. The thing is, people want to play counselor and pastor in a relationship they know nothing about. My wife and I have come a long way. I met Nadia when she was broke, she had nothing. She was living in Fedha (estate), she didn’t have a car. I have seen her grow. I know her journey very well. We have grown together. People need to stop spewing hate and show some love,” he adds.
The celebrity power couple began dating in 2019 when they collaborated on Nadia’s hit song, “Radio Love.
It’s the song that catapulted Nadia to fame and set the pace for her.
