Ugandan singer Elijah Kitaka has challenged Robert Kayanja Jr to a one-on-one TikTok Live debate as the controversy surrounding pastors and alleged fake miracles continues to spark public discussion across Uganda.
Kitaka issued the challenge on October 16, 2026, tagging Kayanja Jr and media personality Kasuku, whom he proposed as the host of the live discussion.
The singer made his intentions clear in a direct message to Kayanja Jr, writing: “I want a TikTok live one on one with you but accept at your own risk. I will be waiting for your confirmation.”
Kasuku welcomed the proposal and agreed to host the discussion. However, Kayanja Jr had not publicly responded to the challenge by the time of publication, leaving the proposed debate unconfirmed.
The challenge comes amid an increasingly heated national conversation about religious leaders who claim to perform miracles and heal the sick. The debate gained momentum after social commentator Frank Gashumba challenged pastors who claim supernatural healing powers to demonstrate those abilities in hospitals.
The remarks prompted reactions from several Christian leaders, while public figures and entertainers have also joined the discussion about religious accountability and claims of miraculous healing.
Kitaka’s proposed TikTok Live would bring the conversation to a direct online exchange between the singer and Kayanja Jr, with Kasuku potentially serving as moderator. No date or time for the proposed discussion had been announced in the supplied information.
Beyond the latest controversy, Kitaka has previously spoken about his religious upbringing. The singer revealed that his father was a pastor and his mother sang in a church choir, meaning he grew up in a church environment before eventually leaving church and pursuing secular music.
His background adds another dimension to his decision to enter the debate, although he has not provided further details in the supplied account about what he intends to raise during the proposed live session.
For now, the next move rests with Kayanja Jr. Kasuku has agreed to host, and Kitaka says he is waiting for confirmation. Whether the challenge turns into a live debate remains an open question as Uganda’s discussion about miracle claims and religious leadership continues.
