Abtex Makes Shocking Declaration About His Remains and Future Paternity Disputes Few people are willing to discuss what should happen after they’re gone. Fewer still would publicly invite their family to dig up their remains. But that’s exactly what Ugandan events promoter and talent manager Abbey Musinguzi, popularly known as Abtex, has done—and his comments are already sparking widespread debate. In a bold and deeply personal statement, Abtex revealed that he would have no issue with his remains being exhumed after his death if it became necessary to settle future paternity disputes within his family. The outspoken promoter made the…

Tracy Melon Speaks Out After Viral Poisoning Rumors Spark Concern A wave of panic swept across social media after reports surfaced claiming a popular Ugandan singer had allegedly been poisoned and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. The story spread quickly, leaving many fans worried and searching for answers. But according to the artist herself, there was never any medical emergency in the first place. Singer Tracy Melon has publicly dismissed the rumors that circulated online on Monday night, insisting that she is healthy, safe, and has not been hospitalized. And if fans were expecting a dramatic health update,…

Nobody is checking on the men who make the music. Behind Uganda’s biggest records, its most polished productions, and its most celebrated sounds are people navigating the same pressures, doubts, and private battles that everyone else faces — often without saying a word about any of it. Artin Pro — one of Uganda’s most respected audio producers — has spent years inside the creative industry watching this pattern play out. And in a recent interview, he said out loud what most people in that world only think quietly. The silence is real. The reasons for it are specific. And the…

In a video that Uganda cannot stop watching right now, a young man sits across from his father and asks him how it feels to watch his son succeed. The father’s face does the answering before the words even come. Pride. Warmth. The particular satisfaction of a parent who watched their child make a decision that frightened everyone — dropping out of school to chase music — and then watched that child prove the decision right. That video was recorded sometime ago. This week, it has resurfaced. And the reason it is being shared with such urgency is that Pastor…

She went quiet. No new music. No explanations. No timeline. For over a year, one of Uganda’s more distinctive female voices has been conspicuously absent from the scene — and the rumours that filled that silence were not quiet ones. Now Zafaran is back. She is talking. And the terms she has set for her return are the kind that immediately separate serious artists from everyone else in the room. No CD performances. No backing tracks. Full band or acoustic — depending on your budget. Take it or leave it. Uganda’s entertainment industry is paying attention. Zafaran sat down with…

Ten years of music. A milestone concert weeks away. Tickets already sold. A fanbase ready. And then Uganda’s Ebola outbreak made the decision for him. Kenneth Mugabi announced on Monday morning that his highly anticipated 10 Years of Kibun’omu: Fan’s Favourite Songs Edition concert — the second edition of his decade-long celebrations — has been postponed. The announcement came via his social media platforms, written in the warm, personal tone that his fans have come to expect from him, but carrying news that nobody in Uganda’s soul music community wanted to receive. With less than a month to go, one…

The real thief got on a boda-boda and rode away. Sydney Gongodyo — 27 years old, Uganda Rugby Cranes player, Black Pirates club member, somebody’s son — was standing nearby. And the mob, already furious, already moving, turned on him instead. CCTV footage captured everything. It exonerated him completely. And it came too late to save his life. Sydney died on Friday, June 5, 2026, from injuries sustained at the hands of a mob near TMT Supermarket in Bukoto. By the time the footage showed the truth, the truth no longer mattered for him. It only matters now — for…

Some tributes are written out of obligation. Some are written out of love. The words Karole Kasita posted for Hustle Quin belong entirely to the second category — and Uganda has not been able to scroll past them without stopping. A dancer who performed on Karole’s concert stage just weeks ago is gone. A young woman who had finished her studies, found her footing in the industry, and was just beginning to hit her stride was taken in an instant on a Bweyogerere roadside on Saturday morning. And the artist who watched her grow is now trying to find the…

She spent her career filling stages with energy, colour, and a joy that everyone around her felt instantly. On an ordinary Tuesday morning, at around 11 a.m., that light went out on a roadside in Bweyogerere — and Uganda’s dance community has not stopped grieving since. Hustle Quin, a vibrant and beloved figure in Uganda’s entertainment fraternity, has died following a tragic boda-boda accident. She was known by virtually everyone who worked with her as the kind of person who made a room better simply by being in it. She was gone before anyone who loved her had a chance…
