A heated music debate has sparked fresh conversations in Uganda’s entertainment scene after one artist gave his fellow musician some unexpected career advice. Bad Character Records boss Sadat Mukiibi, popularly known as Khalifah AgaNaga, has playfully challenged singer Alexander Bagonza, better known as A Pass, to stop chasing Jamaican dancehall sounds and return to the genre he believes fits him best. According to Khalifah, A Pass has a rare talent when it comes to Kadongo Kamu music — a style he believes the singer was naturally made for. The statement has caught attention because it is not just criticism; it…

Ugandan singer Nina Roz, real name Nina Kankunda, has announced that her upcoming concert “Sound Of A Dream” will no longer take place on its original date.

Uganda’s music scene just had one of those weeks. Five new videos. A long-awaited comeback. A remix that nobody saw coming. And the moment Ugandan football fans didn’t know they needed — a full World Cup anthem, built from scratch, ready to soundtrack an entire nation’s dream. This is not a slow news cycle for Ugandan music. Bebe Cool has returned with his attention fully back on the studio, Spice Diana and Vinka have officially teamed up on the Nzigulawo remix, and Ykee Benda has dropped something that might just become the song of the summer before the summer even…

Six hundred million shillings. That’s roughly what it would cost — in cattle alone — to marry Rachel Kiwanuka. No ring. No venue deposit. No catering budget. Just 300 cows, standing in a field, before the conversation even starts. Uganda’s beloved veteran musician Halima Namakula has once again gone on record with the most talked-about bride price demand in the country right now — and this time, it was Hon. Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi’s offhand joke at a public function that brought the number back into the spotlight. Halima didn’t blink. She repeated the figure with the calm confidence of a…

Most Ugandan artists spend years chasing a first break. This one spent 2024 quietly building his sound from scratch — no features, no hype, just instrumental beats and a vision — and then released a debut album so technically advanced it put him in a bracket shared by almost nobody else in the country. Koheleth just made history. And there’s a very good chance you haven’t heard his name yet. The Kampala-born Pop/Rock singer, songwriter, and producer launched his debut studio album Chocolate on April 5, 2026, becoming only the second Ugandan artist ever to release a project in Dolby…

When your wife is in the UK and the internet has already written your divorce — what do you do? If you’re Douglas Lwanga, you don’t spiral. You don’t post a cryptic caption. You simply sit down, speak clearly, and remind everyone that a long-distance flight does not a broken marriage make. Uganda’s celebrated TV and radio host has stepped forward to address months of quiet speculation about the state of his relationship with wife Lindah Lisa, who relocated to the United Kingdom. The rumours painted a picture of a marriage quietly crumbling behind the scenes. Lwanga’s response? Calm, direct,…

Two hundred and sixteen million shillings sounds like a big number — until you consider how many Ugandan artists made music this year, how many times that music played on radio, in malls, at weddings, in bars, and across streaming platforms. Then the number starts to feel a little different. The Uganda Performing Rights Society (UPRS) made its latest royalty distribution announcement on Wednesday, confirming a UGX 216 million payout to its members. The mood in the room was cautiously optimistic. But it was the chairman’s own admission — that collections remain “below desirable levels” — that told the fuller…

They sold a dream — flashy outfits, luxury nights, and the kind of social media life that makes a young girl in Mbalwa think her luck has finally changed. What allegedly waited on the other side of that dream was far darker. Four suspects accused of running one of Kampala’s most disturbing online sex trafficking operations have been charged with aggravated trafficking in persons and locked up at Luzira Prison, Uganda’s maximum-security facility. But investigators say the operation runs deeper than four faces in a dock — and two of the alleged architects are still nowhere to be found. This…
