Kenyan singer Arrow Bwoy has set social media abuzz after publicly accepting a boxing challenge from Ugandan businessman Shakib Lutaaya, the husband of socialite Zari Hassan. The artist, known for his Afro-pop hits, vowed to “punish” Shakib in the ring, promising fans an explosive celebrity showdown.
The match, which Arrow Bwoy confirmed will take place in Kenya, comes shortly after Shakib’s high-profile defeat in a celebrity boxing bout in Kampala. Seizing the moment, Arrow Bwoy released a video expressing both excitement and confidence ahead of the anticipated clash.
In his characteristically playful style, Arrow Bwoy sent a humorous yet cheeky warning to Shakib, advising him not to bring Zari to the event. He joked that witnessing her husband being beaten could overwhelm her, creating what he called a “double tragedy.”
“A message to Shakib: please don’t tag along with your woman because she might faint, and we might have a double tragedy,” Arrow Bwoy quipped. “Zari, if you’re hearing this, just send your boy to come and collect the beatings, international beatings.”
The statement quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions across social media platforms. Many Kenyans have rallied behind Arrow Bwoy, praising his boldness and entertaining approach. Others, however, teased him by recalling a past incident in which he was allegedly roughed up by riot police during anti-finance bill protests, joking that he might not be as formidable in the ring as he claims.
With the celebrity boxing trend gaining traction in East Africa, the Arrow Bwoy vs. Shakib showdown promises to attract widespread attention. While the exact date and venue remain under wraps, fans on both sides of the Kenya-Uganda border are eagerly waiting to see if Arrow Bwoy’s words will translate into punches when the two finally square off.
