Mudiwa Hood's wife Angelica left him when their son was 4 months old.Tommorow he is turning 1year. Can we all appreciate Mudiwa for being a great single father to Jnr with the economic hardships most men would not step up like Mudiwa Hodd has.
CONTROVERSIAL rapper, Mudiwa Hood’s two-year marriage with Portuguese wife Angelica Colchèita-Hood is over.
Mudiwa made it clear on one of his posts that he is NOW single but not ready for a relationship now “but surely in months to come he will.”
While Angelica quit and abandoned their son while two-months old in February, there had been chances of a reunion before things deteriorated to social media spats.
Mudiwa, who is in Harare, has since filed for divorce with Angelica currently in the UK. Angelica left Mudiwa and the son accusing the flamboyant musician of cheating, an accusation he has vehemently denied.
The son has been living with Mudiwa and at times his granny (Mudiwa’s mother) in Chitungwiza.
In April, she had threatened, publicly, to file for divorce and it could not be immediately established if she indeed lodged her papers with any court.
However, Mudiwa’s own papers are awaiting Angelica’s signature for the divorce to be finalised.
The two provided social media enthusiasts with something to feed on after a spat on Instagram on Sunday.
Mudiwa posted a picture with his son Sunday afternoon, which triggered his estranged wife to comment on the post.
She is blocked on all Mudiwa’s social media platforms and had to use a business Instagram account to post comments saying that Mudiwa should not use their son as a gimmick in his ‘fake life’ and that he should be ashamed as a father who cheated on his wife.
Angelica added that Mudiwa pretends to be the best dad, best husband but is a liar and a cheat and that he should show the world who he really is and stop posting their son on social media leaving the choice to him when he grows up.
In a response yesterday afternoon, Mudiwa said he never cheated on his wife daring her to bring proof that he cheated on her further confirming that the couple parted ways in February.
Mudiwa said he would be suing Angelica for defamation:
“It’s unlike me addressing my personal issues on social media, but lest ya’ll think I cheated, it is all LIES! We broke up in Feb and I was quiet all this time till few days ago…
“Please do NOT believe every accusation, I did NOT cheat on anyone. These are unfounded accusations, Let her bring evidence, the people, the events and witnesses if she may choose
“I am filing for a lawsuit for defamation of character.
“I made a lot of sacrifices growing my clean brand, not one lie will soil it for me. I never cheated before marriage, why will I start in marriage? It’s all lies meant to tarnish me.
As a matter of principle, I will not say anything at all about her…She is the mother of my son…Even in disappointment, pain and anger I choose to respect her.”
He ended his statement by advising the media that he would not be accepting interviews on the matter, possibly for privacy reasons.
On April 2, Angelica posted that Mudiwa was cheating on her with one of her followers and she was now seeking divorce, but later went back on her word saying that it was just a belated April fool’s day joke.
H-Metro now understands that the post was used to show Mudiwa that she would not hesitate to take their matter to social media.
A close associate told H-Metro yesterday that Mudiwa is taking care of their child on his own and the post on social media at the weekend was possibly in indirect message to Angelica that he was doing a good job of it.
The associate believes Mudiwa showing the world that he was doing well despite Angelica’s departure upset her, triggering the public spat.
Her comments on the various social media platforms between Sunday and yesterday suggest that she feels Mudiwa is now using their son to fight their wars in public.
The associate emphasised that Mudiwa would continue posting pictures of his son, adding:
“It’s confusing, it’s Mudiwa who filed for divorce, I guess that’s why he is calm and not offensive… from the comments you can tell it is the wife who is bitter.”

rnclass action settlement, settlement claim form, class action payment, class action settlement check, settlement administrator, class action deadline
rnrnA class action settlement can be confusing. You may receive a notice saying you are eligible for money, credit, identity monitoring, repairs, or another benefit.
rnrnBut what does it actually mean?
rnrnDo you have to file a claim?
rnrnWhen will payment arrive?
rnrnWhat happens if you do nothing?
rnrnUnderstanding the settlement process helps you avoid missing deadlines or giving up rights without realizing it.
rnrnA class action settlement is an agreement to resolve a lawsuit brought on behalf of a group.
rnrnThe company may agree to provide compensation or other relief, while often denying wrongdoing.
rnrnThe settlement usually needs court approval. The court reviews whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate for the class.
rnrnA settlement notice explains your rights.
rnrnIt may arrive by:
rnrnEmail
rnPostcard
rnLetter
rnWebsite notice
rnOnline ad
rnPublication notice
The notice usually explains:
rnrnWho is included
rnWhat the lawsuit claimed
rnWhat the settlement provides
rnHow to file a claim
rnHow to opt out
rnHow to object
rnDeadlines
rnHearing date
rnContact information
Read it carefully.
rnrnA claim form is the document you submit to request settlement benefits.
rnrnIt may ask for:
rnrnName
rnAddress
rnEmail
rnPhone number
rnProof of purchase
rnAccount number
rnTransaction dates
rnLoss amount
rnPayment preference
rnSignature or certification
Only submit accurate information.
rnrnNot always.
rnrnSome settlements require documentation. Others allow claims without proof, but payments may be smaller.
rnrnExamples of proof include:
rnrnReceipts
rnInvoices
rnBank statements
rnEmails
rnProduct serial numbers
rnRepair records
rnScreenshots
rnAccount records
If you have proof, submit it when allowed.
rnrnPayments may depend on:
rnrnSettlement fund size
rnNumber of valid claims
rnDocumented losses
rnPlan of allocation
rnAdministrative costs
rnAttorney fees
rnCourt-approved deductions
rnClaim category
Sometimes advertised payment amounts are only estimates. If many people file claims, individual payments may be lower.
rnrnClass action payments may take months or longer.
rnrnReasons include:
rnrnCourt approval process
rnObjection period
rnAppeals
rnClaim review
rnFraud screening
rnAddress verification
rnPayment processing
rnSecond distribution planning
The FTC explains that when possible it uses money collected from defendants to provide refunds, and remaining funds may sometimes support a second round of payments.
rnrnOpting out means you exclude yourself from the settlement.
rnrnIf you opt out:
rnrnYou usually receive no settlement benefit
rnYou may keep the right to sue separately
rnYou must follow the opt-out instructions
rnYou must meet the deadline
People with large individual damages should consider legal advice before deciding.
rnrnObjecting means you stay in the class but tell the court you disagree with part of the settlement.
rnrnYou may object to:
rnrnSettlement amount
rnAttorney fees
rnRelease terms
rnClaim process
rnNotice method
rnPayment formula
Objecting is different from opting out.
rnrnDoing nothing may mean:
rnrnYou receive no payment
rnYou remain bound by the settlement
rnYou give up rights to sue separately
rnYou lose the chance to object or opt out
This depends on the notice. Always read the specific instructions.
rnrnScammers often copy the language of real settlements.
rnrnBe careful if someone:
rnrnAsks you to pay to receive money
rnPromises guaranteed payment
rnDemands gift cards or wire transfers
rnThreatens legal action
rnRequests unnecessary sensitive information
rnUses a fake website
rnClaims special access
The FTC warns that it never asks people to pay to file a claim or get a refund.
rnrnA class action settlement can provide money or other benefits, but deadlines matter.
rnrnRead the notice. Confirm the website is official. File a claim if required. Keep records. Be careful with scams.
rnrnAnd before opting out or signing away important rights, consider speaking with a qualified attorney.
