Fans of Juliana Kanyomozi’s podcast have been wondering the same thing for a while now — where did it go? The Sit Down with Juliana launched in 2024 with considerable promise, debuted with Bebe Cool as its first guest, and ran for fourteen episodes before quietly going dark. No announcement. No final episode. Just silence. Now Juliana is addressing it directly, explaining the reasons behind the pause and confirming that the project is not done — it is just not ready yet. Juliana was candid about what happened. The podcast, she said, became difficult to sustain alongside the rest of…

Uganda’s most talked-about reality show is back — and this season, the women of Kampala Crème are not just showing up for the cameras. They are building businesses, navigating friendships, and proving that the ambition on screen is matched by everything happening off it. Kampala Crème Season 3 airs every Sunday at 8 PM on Pearl Magic Prime, giving viewers a front-row seat to the lives of some of Uganda’s most recognisable self-made women. With a familiar core cast joined by a compelling newcomer, Season 3 is shaping up to deliver exactly what the show’s audience keeps coming back for…

Some losses do not have a way of being softened. They simply arrive, and everything after them is different. Ugandan singer Kin Bella has described 2026 as the most painful year of her life — and the reason is not professional. In April, she lost her younger sister in a road accident. Speaking about the experience openly, Kin Bella did not reach for euphemism. She described a grief that is still present, and a lesson she is still learning to carry. Kin Bella’s sister died after being knocked down while crossing the road. She was young. She had plans. And…

Before the confidence, there were the comments. And before she started showing up fully, Zayra Baby spent a period deliberately making herself smaller. The Ugandan content creator, born Desire Nandijja, has opened up about a chapter of her TikTok journey that her followers may not have fully seen — the period when online body shaming quietly pushed her into baggy outfits and away from the figure she now proudly celebrates. Her account is honest, specific, and lands with the kind of weight that only comes from someone who has actually lived it. Zayra Baby did not ease into the admission.…

Some people avoid the spotlight because they lack confidence. Artin Pro avoids it because he knows exactly what is waiting there. The audio producer, one of Uganda’s established names behind the boards, has ruled out any possibility of transitioning into a singing career — and his reasoning is not what most people would expect. It is not fear of failure or lack of talent that holds him back. It is knowledge. Specifically, knowing too much about how the industry actually works. Artin Pro did not dress the answer up. When asked whether he had any ambitions of becoming a recording…

Most people see the finished song. Martin Musoke — known professionally as Artin Pro — sees everything that happens before it gets there. As a producer who has worked across Uganda’s music industry for years, he occupies a position that few others do: close enough to artists to witness their most unguarded moments, and experienced enough to recognise patterns in what he sees. In a recent interview with MBU, he spoke openly about the mental health struggles he has encountered among creatives — and what he believes it actually takes to come through them. Artin Pro did not reach for…

There is a certain kind of song that does not need a long introduction. It just needs to find the right ears. DJ Trizzy Vybz and rising talent Expect Xhavi may have made exactly that kind of song with their new collaborative single, Body Tea — a smooth, groove-heavy track produced by Mimo that is built for the dance floor but works just as well as a dedication to someone who has been living in your head rent-free. The title is intentional. “Body tea” is slang used to compliment someone with an incredibly attractive, curvy, or fit physique — and…

Cindy Sanyu has never been short of ambition. What she says she has been short of is government support — and she is making the case that one cannot exist without the other. In a recent interview, the self-styled King Herself laid out a detailed and pointed argument for why Uganda’s artists have struggled to break onto the international stage, using Diamond Platnumz’s rise as her primary reference point. Her conclusion is not flattering for the Ugandan government — but it is hard to dismiss. Cindy’s argument begins in Tanzania. Before Diamond Platnumz became one of Africa’s most globally recognised…

Not every conversation about Uganda’s music industry centres on beef, breakups, or viral moments. Sometimes it centres on something quieter — and more lasting. Producer Artin sat down with Mbu and delivered a perspective that cuts against the grain of how many people approach the business of music today. His argument is straightforward: when money becomes the primary motivation for making music, the music suffers — and so does the industry built around it. It is the kind of opinion that tends to get nodded at and then ignored. Artin said it anyway. Artin did not mince words about what…

Kapa Cat is not interested in being diplomatic about this. The Ugandan singer sat down with Galaxy FM and addressed a viral video that had people talking — a clip showing her in a direct confrontation with a man. She explained what sparked it, shut down the suggestion that it was staged, and then went a step further, making her general position on disrespect crystal clear. Gender, she said, is irrelevant once someone crosses her. The video in question caught attention because of how unfiltered it looked — and according to Kapa Cat, that is because it was. She pushed…
