It takes a lot to make Bebe Cool go quiet. Apparently, it takes one phone call from Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Uganda’s boldest musician woke up Thursday morning and did something nobody expected — he deleted his public fraud allegations against former Miss Rwanda Jolly Mutesi and announced he was standing down, all because Uganda’s First Son picked up the phone and told him to. This, after days of explosive tweets, a formal cease and desist notice from Mutesi’s lawyers, and a scandal involving Rwanda, Arsenal Football Club, and a sum of money Bebe Cool says he never got back. The…

Nina Roz Questions Government Support for Uganda’s Music Industry A debate over the future of Uganda’s music industry has been reignited after singer Nina Roz opened up about what she believes is a long-standing failure to properly support artists. The singer, whose real name is Nina Kakunda, has once again shared her concerns about government involvement in the creative sector, arguing that musicians have not received enough support despite decades of leadership.

Levixone Reveals Why His Namboole Stadium Concert Dream Was Delayed For years, Ugandan musicians have been proving their power by filling major venues, but one iconic stage remains untouched by a local star. Mandela National Stadium, popularly known as Namboole Stadium, has become the ultimate concert dream in Uganda’s music industry.

Every year, thousands of young Ugandans enroll in music programs, voice classes, and performance academies chasing a version of success that one of the country’s biggest current exports never pursued. Joshua Baraka didn’t go through that system. And he has thoughts about it. Sitting down on the Grab a Coffee podcast, the singer who quietly turned himself into a global music name delivered a take that is equal parts liberating and uncomfortable — depending on where you’re sitting. Formal training, he argues, is not the starting point. Knowing what you’re actually good at is. And most people, he says, never…

It was supposed to be a night of celebration — a grand lounge opening, a celebrity guest list, and the kind of Kampala event that fills timelines by morning. Instead, one man walked away with a swollen forehead, a blood-stained shirt, and a missing power bank. And the name he says is responsible? Uncle Chumi. The TikToker-turned-singer who built a fanbase on charm and content is now at the centre of a serious assault and robbery allegation — one that allegedly started over a promise of Shs20,000 and ended with the alleged victim being rescued by a boda boda rider…

Somewhere on the internet right now, someone is watching a clip of a Ugandan broadcaster ask a guest “Why are you gay?” — and laughing, sharing it, or dropping it into a group chat. It has been doing that for fourteen years. The clip became one of Uganda’s most exported cultural moments — a meme that crossed continents, spawned countless remixes, and lodged itself permanently into internet culture. But the man who asked the question has largely let the moment speak for itself. Until now. Simon Kaggwa Njala has finally broken down exactly how those four words came to exist…

Imagine spending years building a music career — writing, recording, performing, winning awards — and then being told your cut of the national royalties pot is roughly the price of a rolex on Kampala Road. That is, more or less, the math Eddy Kenzo did publicly last week. And he was not quiet about the answer. Speaking at a press briefing in Mutundwe, the Sitya Loss hitmaker and president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation tore into the Uganda Performing Rights Society over its announced plan to distribute Shs216 million in royalties to musicians across the country. His verdict was…

Most Ugandans knew him as the mzungu behind the Bad Black money scandal — the British businessman whose relationship with the socialite made headlines, court records, and WhatsApp group chats for years. Turns out, that was the least interesting thing about David Greenhalgh. On June 11, 2026, a London court found the 68-year-old guilty on eight counts of illegal arms trafficking. The arsenal he allegedly helped broker wasn’t small-time contraband — we’re talking surface-to-air missile systems, fighter jets, battle tanks, combat helicopters, and tens of thousands of AK-47 rifles destined for some of the world’s most dangerous and sanctioned war…

Four men walked into a Kampala courtroom on Friday. None of them walked out free. Charged with the murder of Ugandan rugby player Sydney Gongodyo Gyabi, the suspects — a boda boda rider, a delivery agent, a security guard, and another motorcycle taxi operator — now sit in Luzira Prison as the case that has gripped Uganda inches toward justice. But here’s the part that should make everyone uncomfortable: prosecutors say these four are not the only ones responsible. More suspects, according to court, are still out there. Sydney Gongodyo is gone. The full story of why? That’s still unfolding.…

A growing debate around viral entertainment content has taken a political turn after Kasambya County Member of Parliament Hon. Daudi Kabanda challenged content creators to rethink the type of personalities they promote online. During a viral interview on “The Direct Shot,” Kabanda advised creators to be more selective about the guests they host, warning against giving attention to celebrities and social media figures whose content is built around vulgar language or controversial narratives. The legislator said creators have the power to influence society through the platforms they build and should prioritize conversations that provide value. His message was simple: views…
