Singer Vanessa Mdee recently denied claims that her boyfriend Olurotimi Akinosho better known as Rotimi is physically abusive towards her. This comes not long after Rotimi’s ex-girlfriend posted on social media about an ex who was physically abusive towards her. This led many to assume the ex was Rotimi and that Vanessa might also be suffering a similar fate.
Mdee said that Rotimi was not the ex in question, adding that the actor and singer has never laid a finger on her or any other woman for that matter.
“I will not be bullied on social media; I will not be that person. Wanahabari wataandika kitu juu yangu halafu nitabaki kimya. Team yangu ya social media imenijuza kuhusu comments kutokana na watu kusema kuwa Rotimi ananipiga, ati ni mtu ambaye anapiga wanawake.”
”Number one, that is so far from the truth, sio ukweli na ni kitu ambacho kinaweza kuharibu sifa heshima ya mwanaume au mwanamke, especially when it’s not true. So nataka ku-clarify kitu kabla sijaendelea, imetokana na post ambayo ameandika ex-wake Rotimi. Ex wake Rotimi alikuwa anamzungumzia ex-wake mwingine sio Rotimi na ameweka wazi kuwa sio Rotimi anayemzungumzia…
“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,” she said in part.

It’s not Okay. Am not going to be bullied by media.
