Veteran Ugandan comedian Amooti Omubalanguzi, born Allan Mujuni, has spoken out about a woman who reportedly claims to have had a child with the late comedian Kapere Lufotose, revealing that a DNA test may be necessary to establish the child’s paternity.
The revelation comes after Kapere, popularly known as Yokana Mbuuse, was laid to rest. He was publicly known to have three children with his wife, Lydia Nakandi, also known as Mama Trump.
However, questions about another possible child emerged during the burial, when information surfaced about a woman who allegedly had a child with the comedian outside his marriage.
Speaking during a television interview, Amooti revealed that the woman personally contacted him shortly after Kapere’s death. According to him, she expressed interest in having the child recognised but did not want her identity exposed to the public.
Amooti said he had promised to arrange a meeting with her, although establishing whether Kapere was the child’s biological father could take time and require financial resources.
“That lady claiming to have Kapere’s child called me recently, after Kapere had breathed his last. However, she doesn’t want to be put in the spotlight. I promised her that I would find a day when we could meet. But confirming whether the child belongs to Kapere might take some time. It could involve DNA tests, which require money. If the results turn out positive, the child will be introduced to the other siblings,” Amooti revealed.
His comments indicate that the matter has not yet been resolved and that no confirmation of the child’s paternity has been established.
The comedian added that he was also caught off guard by the claim, explaining that Kapere had never told him about the alleged relationship or mentioned the woman during their interactions.
“Kapere had never told me about his side chick. It was my first time learning about her as well,” he said.
For now, the woman’s identity and the circumstances surrounding the alleged relationship remain private. Amooti’s account suggests that the next step could involve a meeting and, if pursued, DNA testing to determine whether the child is biologically related to the late comedian.
If paternity is established, Amooti says the child could be introduced to Kapere’s other children.
The development adds another sensitive family matter to the aftermath of Kapere’s death, with the central question of paternity still awaiting confirmation.
