Arrow explaine how he handled her being mocked for her terrible outfit for a Meru show three months after giving birth.

"Ilikuwa ni funny the fact that unajua tulikuwa tunataka kuachive look flani. But what we wanted people to know above all is tulikuwa tunataka hio show iongelewe so mavazi pia ilikuwa different huwezi enda vinormal ka unataka pia kitu yako iongelewe, you have to go extra mile kuleta art, ilikuwa ni art."

Nadia, "Ah its once in a time, you feel bad the first time then you get used to it. I can't blame the stylist because my body had changed, they could not have seen the changes in the fitting," the 'Kai Wangu' singer continued.

They also spoke about their brief breakup, insisting it was not clout chasing. They said that they had differences that saw them living apart before reuniting.

"Nilikuwa nimechoka, plus being a new mum it was not very easy, Next time akirudia itabidi aoe tena," Nadia shared.

Arrow Bwoy disclosed that they can stay at home one week without talking.

"Eh bro nyumbani tunaweza kaa wiki moja hatuongeleshani. Watu waambiane tuu ukweli. Kuna tuu time ananuka yani unaona tuu mwenzako anapita.

Hii ni nini tena..yeh lakini unajua kazi ikishaita, shughuli ingine ile baadaye, heri tugombane mimi sina uadui na pesa."
