Fyno Speaks Out After Kyengera Arrest, Denies Online Rape Allegations
Ugandan singer and songwriter Fyno, whose real name is Joseph Suuna, has broken his silence following his recent arrest in Kyengera, saying the incident resulted from a misunderstanding over a performance booking rather than any criminal wrongdoing.
Speaking about the ordeal, the “Che Che” hitmaker explained that he had traveled to Kyengera to perform at an event after reaching an arrangement with a promoter over an earlier missed booking. Instead of taking the stage, however, he says he was arrested upon arriving at the venue and later spent the night at Kyengera Police Station before being released on police bond.
Fyno also addressed separate allegations circulating on social media accusing him of rape, firmly rejecting the claims and describing them as false.
Fyno Says a Missed Performance Sparked the Dispute
According to Fyno, the events that led to his arrest began after he arrived late for a previous show.
He acknowledged that the promoter was unhappy that he had failed to perform as originally planned.
Rather than ending their working relationship, Fyno said the promoter later booked him for another event to make up for the missed performance.
The singer believed the issue had been resolved and traveled to the venue expecting to fulfill his commitment.
Instead, he says the situation took an unexpected turn.
“I arrived late for a show, and the promoter wasn’t happy. On the rescheduled date, I came to perform, but I was arrested by the police.”
According to Fyno, security personnel allegedly confronted him when he arrived at the venue before taking him into custody.
He says he was then transported to Kyengera Police Station, where he spent the night.
Released After Police Intervention
Fyno said the dispute was eventually addressed after police became involved.
According to the singer, the matter was resolved, and he was granted police bond before being released the following day.
He did not disclose whether any formal charges were filed in connection with the booking dispute, and no further details about the police’s findings were provided.
His account suggests that the disagreement centered on the performance arrangement rather than any allegation related to violence or other criminal conduct.
Rejects Online Rape Allegations
Beyond addressing the circumstances surrounding his arrest, Fyno also responded to claims that circulated on social media alleging he had raped a woman.
The singer categorically denied the allegations, describing them as false and intended to damage his reputation.
“Those allegations are not true. A serious case like that cannot simply be concluded in a single day the way some people were claiming.”
Fyno did not identify the source of the online claims or provide additional details.
Based on the information available, there is no indication in the provided material that the arrest he described was connected to those allegations.
His comments were made in response to speculation that spread online following news of his detention.
Looking Ahead Despite the Ordeal
Despite the controversy, Fyno says he remains focused on his music career.
Rather than dwelling on the incident, the singer used the opportunity to introduce a new female artist, Cream Gloria, whom he believes has the talent to make a significant impact on Uganda’s music scene.
According to Fyno, he is confident in her potential and is committed to supporting her career as she begins her journey in the industry.
The announcement signals that the artist intends to continue working on music and talent development despite the recent setback.
Why the Story Matters
Public arrests involving entertainers often trigger speculation, particularly when information is limited.
Fyno’s explanation offers his account of the incident, separating the booking dispute from unrelated allegations that later circulated online.
His remarks also highlight how misinformation can spread quickly on social media, especially when public figures become involved in legal or police matters.
At the same time, his decision to publicly respond provides fans with his perspective on events that attracted significant attention.
The Human Side
For performers, every show represents not just an opportunity to entertain but also a professional commitment.
Fyno says what was meant to be a chance to resolve an earlier disagreement instead became an unexpected night in police custody.
Now released, the singer says he is determined to move forward, clear his name regarding the online allegations, and continue building his music career while supporting new talent.
As discussions around the incident continue, Fyno maintains that the booking dispute has been resolved and insists that the allegations circulating against him online are false.
