nsodo: The latest so far has indicated that Chinedu Okoli aka Mr. Flavour N'abania might not be the father of Bad Black's Baby after the real father of the baby showing up. At first it was suspected the Mr. Flavour might be the father of the baby but there is this guy identified as Kim Swagger who has come out and said that Bad Black called him and informed him about the baby and wants him to name the baby.

I oppose this this guy might be the father of the baby. All men have denied the responsibility. She is by the way a loaded chic with lost of cash. If you please her she gives you a gift of a car. She is very rich though still young. The fact here is that Mr. Flavour is the baby no denying.

I have read News in Uganda and found another related story about Chinedu Okoli aka Mr. Flavour N'abania fathering a baby with Bad Black. This time all the men turned against her leaving it for Mr Flavour to battle it out alone. This story also focused on the months Mr. Flavour was in Uganda and the time Bad Black gave birth.
