Singer Brown Shugar has opened up on the complex and troubling dynamics of her past relationships and professional entanglements.
In an interview on Sanyuka TV’s Bigenda Bitya, she spoke about how her former manager, a notorious ex-socialite known for his wealth and controversial lifestyle, manipulated her into a simultaneous relationship with fellow singer Serena Bata.
Brown Shugar recounted that her manager was upfront about his intentions from the start. He sought a dual role: a wife and someone to manage, intertwining personal and professional boundaries in a problematic manner.
However, the glamour of Sipapa’s wealth led to a darker reality. He was married to three women concurrently, yet failed to treat them with respect or provide a stable home environment.
Reports of physical abuse and financial neglect were rampant, culminating in his wives leaving him due to his abusive behavior and refusal to cover household expenses.
For Brown Shugar, the end of her relationship with Sipapa marked a turning point. She quickly moved on, marrying a well-known comedian, Taata Sam, and welcoming a child. Unfortunately, this relationship also proved to be short-lived.
Meanwhile, Serena Bata attempted to navigate her career post-Sipapa by collaborating with another manager, Abtex. This professional relationship, however, did not yield the success she had hoped for.
Reflecting on her experiences, Brown Shugar issued a cautionary note to other women. She emphasized the importance of thorough due diligence before entering into any management agreements, highlighting the potential risks and the need for awareness in such professional and personal engagements.
“While at Sipapa Management, it wasn’t just about music; it was also about relationships. He wanted a wife, and I think Serena Bata and I were in a relationship with him at the same time.”
