In response to widespread speculation about Winnie Nwagi’s affiliation with Swangz Avenue, the label’s co-founder, Julius Kyazze, has confirmed that the artist is still under their management.
Kyazze addressed the matter during an interview on NBS After 5, making it clear that despite changes in contractual terms over time, Winnie Nwagi remains part of the Swangz Avenue family.
Rumors about Winnie Nwagi’s exit from Swangz Avenue began circulating after fans noticed a shift in her branding and business engagements. Some speculated that she had left the label following the expiration of her contract. However, Kyazze set the record straight:
"Winnie Nwagi is still at Swangz Avenue. We work with Winnie in different ways. We distribute her music, book her for events, and manage her endorsements."
This clarification reassures fans that the singer remains under the label’s umbrella, even if specific aspects of her contract may have evolved.
Kyazze explained that Swangz Avenue does not maintain static contracts with its artists. Instead, agreements are tailored to reflect changes in the artist’s career progression and business needs.
"Our contracts with artists change over time, depending on what works best for both parties. If there are any significant updates regarding Winnie Nwagi, we will communicate them officially."
This flexible approach ensures that artists like Nwagi continue to receive the necessary support while also having room to explore new opportunities.
In addition to addressing Nwagi’s status, Kyazze hinted at Swangz Avenue’s ambitious plans to enter new markets. He revealed that the label is set to sign a new artist from Tanzania, with an official announcement coming soon. This move signals Swangz Avenue’s commitment to growing its influence beyond Uganda and becoming a key player in the East African music industry.
With Swangz Avenue continuing to manage her bookings, endorsements, and music distribution, Winnie Nwagi remains positioned as a dominant force in the Ugandan music scene. Her fans can expect more projects and live performances under the Swangz Avenue brand.
Despite ongoing rumors, one thing is clear—Winnie Nwagi is still signed under Swangz Avenue’s management, and any major changes will be communicated officially.
