Wendy told Jeff Koinange that her family has been living in abject poverty as her mother takes up odd jobs to fend for the family.
“I’ve been performing all over the world, and right now I live in Huruma because of Joe Mwangi. I’ve performed in Rwanda, Germany, and China… and I’ve not got even a single penny. My mum is really suffering right now, she sells sweets, I live in Huruma in a single-room with her,” she said.
The ex manager however rubbished the claims noting that the mother mismanaged funds meant to cater for the girl’s needs. In fact he said, Ms Mbele was a drunkard squandering the money received from prominent persons and shows.
“I gave Wendi’s mum 100k for Wendy’s school fees. Wendi’s mum is a drunkard,” Mwangi said.
