The DNA results in the Paul Kafeero paternity case have drawn a line — four confirmed biological children out of 25 claimants. For those on the wrong side of that line, the conclusion has not been easy to process. Into that space, Aloysius Matovu Joy has stepped forward with what he describes as a message from the late singer himself — delivered, he says, through a spiritual visitation. Whatever one makes of the claim, the message it carries is one of comfort, and it is directed squarely at those the science did not confirm. The DNA exercise, court-sanctioned and conducted…

Shanitah Namuyimbwa — known publicly as Bad Black — is stepping into a new role, and she is bringing an entire room of women with her. Through her organisation, the Namuyimbwa Women Development Initiative Uganda LTD, she has announced Beauty Beyond The Scars — an all-female empowerment event set for 12th September 2026 at Kabira Country Club in Bukoto, Kampala. The event runs from 8 AM to 7 PM and is built around a single, clear message: your past does not define your future. Beauty Beyond The Scars is not a concert or a networking event dressed up with empowerment…

The DNA results in the Prince Paul Kafeero paternity case have been released. Four biological children were confirmed. More than twenty other claimants were not. For many, that should have been the end of the story. For Ivan Kyanzi of Kachumbali TV — a platform that has spent years documenting the human side of this dispute — it is the beginning of a different conversation entirely. One about what happens to the people the results left behind. The background to this case is long and painful. Prince Paul Kafeero, one of Uganda’s most beloved Kadongo Kamu musicians, passed away over…

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…
