Winnie Nwagi has come forward to firmly address ongoing rumors suggesting she uses hard drugs and other substances before taking the stage.
The Swangz Avenue star dismissed the claims as baseless and damaging, attributing them to online gossip aimed at tarnishing her reputation.
According to Nwagi, the speculation was fueled by a TikTok blogger who alleged that she was using “ice,” a street name for crystal methamphetamine. The blogger went as far as linking the singer’s weight loss to drug use, an accusation Nwagi strongly denies.
Speaking candidly after one of her electrifying performances, Nwagi emphasized that the rumors are not only false but also harmful to her brand and career.
“When they see body changes, they do not do research,” she said. “Just because they are looking for views, they sit and say all this. This is all damaging in a way. You cannot say such a thing about my brand.”
The “Fire Dancer” hitmaker also addressed assumptions that she performs while under the influence of alcohol. She explained that staying sober is essential to maintaining her vocal performance and stage presence.
“I cannot handle it because it can mess with my performance. Drinking reduces my energy,” she explained. “I go on stage very sober, but a person out there will think I first drown in alcohol. That is my natural energy, and when I get to the stage, I have a job of entertaining my fans because they have their reasons as to why they chose me.”
With this response, Nwagi sets the record straight, reaffirming her dedication to her craft and her fans, while calling out the dangers of misinformation spread on social media.
