Songstress Pinky Angel, mother of the late singer Ziggy Miles’ child, has issued a strong public response to fellow musician Bosmic Otim, denying claims that she was Ziggy’s wife and rejecting his offers of support for their son.
During an interview, Pinky Angel confirmed that she gave birth to Ziggy Miles’ son, but clarified that their romantic relationship ended in April 2017.
“Yes, it’s true I gave birth to Ziggy Miles, but the truth is I am not his wife,” she said. “Me and him broke up in 2017 around April when he found out I was pregnant. I told him, and he denied the responsibility, saying he wasn’t ready. Our relationship ended there.”
She explained that she has raised their son as a single mother from day one until Ziggy’s death. The boy is now 9 years old.
The response comes after Bosmic Otim was seen in a video discussing the child and his mother. The video, which was forwarded to her, left her surprised and upset.
“They asked me, ‘Hey, you’re in Kampala married?’ and I replied, ‘How come?’ Then they sent me the video of Bosmic Otim talking. I don’t know why he came out with that talk,” she said.
“He acted like he wants to support the child, but it wasn’t necessary for him to mention the mother of the late child — someone he doesn’t even know. Whether I’m with another man or not — which isn’t true — no one has the right to stop me from moving on. My past is not a death sentence.”
She emphasized that she attended Ziggy’s burial not as his wife, but to help her son understand his father’s passing. “I didn’t go for his burial as his wife. I brought the child to see where they would bury his father so he knows the truth and grows up knowing his father is no more.”
She directly addressed Bosmic Otim’s comments: “Mr. Bosmic, next time when you want to defend yourself, do it in other ways. Don’t drag people so they fall into a trap with you. I am not Ziggy Miles’ wife.”
She also criticized the timing of Bosmic’s offer to support the child. “Ziggy fell sick in July last year and died in May. That was enough time for you to come out and help if you wanted to. Why wait until he was buried? You didn’t even bother to visit him, or pay your last respects. If you truly wanted to support the late son, you should have pledged at the funeral. Why come to the media now saying you’ll support the child, yet you have your own children to educate?”
“This really broke my heart — hearing you come out with false accusations, yet you don’t even know the mother of Ziggy’s child or the life I’m going through,” she added. “The truth is I’m in Kampala, fine, but I’m working and staying at my mother’s house. I have never tried to get married.”
She questioned whether moving on is a crime: “Is it a crime to move on or get married? This message is going straight to you, Bosmic: next time, investigate first before coming out. I know you’re saying these things to cover your back.”
“I don’t want your support, Bosmic. The time for you to give support has passed already. I can educate my child. I am educating him. I started paying his fees from nursery and right now he is in P.3. I am a hardworking woman. As long as I still have my hands and legs, I know God will help me continue taking care of my child. I don’t need your help, and my child doesn’t need your help."
