Ugandan deejay and ghetto talent promoter Shirtless Boss has been left devastated after burglars broke into his home and made off with all his valuables in a chilling midnight heist.
The rising star — celebrated for his work uplifting youth through music and talent shows in Kampala’s ghettos — shared the heartbreaking news early Wednesday morning, revealing that he returned home just after midnight to find his house completely ransacked.
“I returned home at 12:22 a.m. and found my house broken into. All my valuable items were stolen,” he posted. “All my work stuff has been robbed.”
A Shocking Midnight Robbery
According to Shirtless Boss, the break-in happened shortly before midnight while he was away. The thieves reportedly gained entry through a hole they cut in his roof — a daring move that left the DJ and his fans in disbelief.
Once inside, the burglars looted everything they could carry. Among the stolen items were:
- đź’» Three laptops (two HPs and one MacBook)
- 🎧 Two studio monitors
- 🎹 One MIDI controller
- đź‘• A collection of his best clothes
“These weren’t just things,” the DJ said emotionally. “That’s my entire career they took. My music, my projects, my future.”
“How Do I Start Again?”
The ghetto talent advocate couldn’t hide his pain as he spoke about how the robbery has shattered his dreams and affected his livelihood.
“Where am I gonna start from now? How do I reset?” he wrote. “This is so heartbreaking. Three laptops!! They even had time to sort out the good clothes and took them all.”
Friends and fans quickly flooded his social media with words of encouragement and offers to help. Many praised his resilience and commitment to mentoring young creatives despite personal setbacks.
From Hope to Heartbreak
Shirtless Boss has built a reputation as one of Uganda’s most vibrant voices in the music and talent scene, especially for his work in empowering ghetto youth to pursue music and performance as a way out of poverty.
His “Ghetto Talent Search” project has spotlighted dozens of rising stars who might otherwise have gone unnoticed — making the theft of his gear not just a personal loss, but a blow to the community he serves.
“This is a man who has helped so many people find purpose through music,” one fan commented. “We can’t let him go through this alone.”
Police and Fans on Alert
The DJ also shared photos of the damage, including the hole the burglars made in his roof to access the house. He’s now urging his fans, fellow DJs, and the general public to be on the lookout for his stolen equipment.
“If anyone sees my gear being used or sold anywhere, please alert me immediately,” he pleaded.
Local authorities have been notified, and an investigation is reportedly underway. Police have yet to release an official statement, but sources say they’re pursuing leads in the nearby neighborhoods where stolen electronics are often resold.
Fans Rally Behind the Star
Within hours of his post, the internet community responded with an outpouring of support. On X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, hashtags like #JusticeForShirtlessBoss and #SupportTheGhettoStar began trending locally.
Some fans have suggested starting a crowdfunding campaign to help him replace his lost equipment. Others have offered to donate secondhand gear so he can get back to performing as soon as possible.
“You’ve done so much for us, bro. We’ll make sure you rise again,” one follower commented.
A Setback, Not a Defeat
Despite the emotional toll, Shirtless Boss has vowed not to give up.
“This hurts deeply, but I’m still standing,” he said in a follow-up post. “I know God’s got me, and I’ll bounce back stronger.”
Those close to him say he’s determined to rebuild — not just for himself, but for the countless ghetto youths who see him as a symbol of hope and resilience.
What’s Next
As police continue their search for the stolen items, Shirtless Boss is asking fans to help spread the word and keep an eye on secondhand electronics markets, especially in Kampala and neighboring areas.
If recovered, the DJ hopes to resume his ongoing community projects and live shows, which had been gaining massive attention in recent months.
