Babirye’s bitter split

Gospel music sensation Judith Babirye and husband Samuel Niiwo’s marriage has hit the rocks.

Gospel music sensation Judith Babirye and husband Samuel Niiwo’s marriage has hit the rocks.

The singer told our snoops earlier this week that she was leaving her husband of four years because he is a philanderer, controlling, neglects his parental obligations and often beats her.

The Beera Nange singer who is harbouring intentions of joining Parliament next year, has apparently not been living in the marital home in Bukoto, since November last year.

This followed an ugly incident at their home in which, according to Babirye, Niiwo chased her around the house, grabbed her and beat her ferociously, in full view of their neighbours.

This was after she reportedly confronted him about bad-mouthing her among his relatives. And that, Babirye says, is but one of the many times she has had to endure his beatings.

She says he beat her up and tried to strangle her on their tour of the USA a few years ago. Babirye accuses Niiwo of locking her up in the house, barring her from using her phone and commanding her to cut off her hair, claiming it would make her more attractive to other men.

She claims he did not want her to sing and make money, yet he always got loans in her name.

She also says she single-handedly looked after their home and took care of their child together and his other children. She said he is also a womaniser.

Apparently, she says, some of his women who even come into their marital home, have had the audacity to confront her.

To add injury to insult, Babirye says, he often accused of her infidelity, that on several occasions he has denied being her child’s father. Watch this space.
