Shaniqwa, an influencer known for cross-dressing, has opened up about the pain of his baby mama abandoning him.
Which red flags did Shaniqwa ignore in ex?
Dr Ofweneke asked Shaniqwa about some of the questions he asked himself after the heartbreaking incident. The topic was heavy for the single dad, and he sighed before responding.
"One thing I’ll say is that I did not deserve it. Every person has their faults. I am not an angel, but I did not deserve it.

"My son did not deserve it."
Shaniqwa noted that he does not like discussing the matter during interviews while fighting back the tears.
“I went through hell. I almost took my own life. I was seeing my walls crumbling.”
However, the former media personality admitted that he ignored the red flags.
“She got those midnight calls after I organised a job for her. I lost my job at KTN, and she was the richer one.
"I would sleep, wake up, and find her chatting on her phone.”
Shaniqwa also recalled the time his ex left the house on her son’s birthday after receiving a call.
“On our son’s first birthday in 2020, she was called to Ruiru, and she wanted to go. I wondered why she picked that day.
"I told her not to go but eventually allowed her as she seemed restless.”
Kenyans had mixed reactions to the video, writing:
Manlikenicky:
“You're the father, so I don't see any of a big deal. We men leave kids with women, too.”
catekago_j:
“Nothing new here. Women go through it every day.”

nafulasusan1:

How did Jalang'o help Shaniqwa?
Shaniqwa previously thanked Jalang'o, who paid his rent arrears of nine months.
According to him, losing his media job tossed him into chaos.
He was unable to afford food, rent, and other basic needs.
