That is not gospel singer Ringtone’s baby! - Thika makanga comes out to claim ownership over Nyambura’s pregnancy

 After accusing Ringtone of impregnating her and forcing her to procure an abortion, a Nyambura is now embroiled in a new twist of events as her ex-boyfriend Philip Mwaura says the baby was his

It is Friday morning and a stranger calls the Pulse desk over a distressing issue. From the tone of his voice, you can clearly tell that this young man feels jilted.

“I am Philip Mwaura from Thika and I’m calling you to discuss an issue that has been troubling my mind. It is about my ex-girlfriend, the lady who claims to be carrying Ringtone’s baby,” he drops the thunderbolt.

“Are you in Thika now? Can you make it to our offices and help us establish you claim,” we request. Many strange people make unfounded claims and get away with it as they are simply incognito.

And so on Saturday morning, we finally meet Philip, a 25-year-old young man who claims to have been in a relationship with Angel Nyambura, the girl accusing Ringtone of impregnating and neglecting her.

“Angel and I had been dating for years. We knew each other about five years ago when we met in Thika where we both come from. I had been truly head-over-heels in love and the romantic affair flourished to a point where we planned to get married,” Philip claims.

“I was shocked when I heard news that the baby she is expecting is Ringtone’s as I am more than sure that the child is mine. The day she conceived, we shared all the joy and even discussed how we were going to break the news to her parents. However, along the way, there was change of wind and she started distancing herself from me,” Philip says.

According to Philip, who is a matatu tout, Angel and her parents did not want the relationship to go on as he is not well-off.

“After Angel got pregnant, I went to their Thika home feeling delighted that the relationship was getting to a new level. However, to my shock, the family chased me away because I am a makanga (tout). Later, I was even more shocked when I heard her claiming through the media that the baby is Ringtone’s. When I asked her why she was making up a story that was disgraceful to me, she disconnected the call,” Philip tells Pulse.

“This is my baby and I want the whole world to know that she is claiming it is Ringtone’s child as, unlike me, he is famous and he can pay for the baby’s upkeep. She has been trying to shut me up saying we will deal with the issue later. However, I still insist that I want her back. I want her to be my wife. I want us to raise the baby,” he remarks.

When Pulse tried to reach out to Angel, she was not available to give her side of the story on the said affair.

When we asked Ringtone if the two had an affair, he laughed the issue off saying she is a stalker and he has opted to forgive her for trying to soil his name.

“This is not the first of such allegations. I have never had an affair with the said Angel and this is what I have always said. She has been going everywhere, telling bloggers to write stories about me and her. I have been slow to react, not because I am guilty, but because I know they simply want me to join in and fuel the story. I won’t do that. Instead, I opt to forgive her,” he concludes.
