Getting lost four times on the way to shows. Fights breaking out at every venue. Property vandalized on arrival. And at the center of it all — one artist who allegedly began questioning whether she was the cause. That’s the story Abdul Mulaasi is telling, and Uganda’s entertainment industry is not ready for this conversation. The veteran singer and Light Production boss sat down for a candid interview and said something that most industry insiders only whisper behind closed doors: witchcraft is active in Uganda’s music scene, and some of the artists you love most have already fallen victim to…

The comments started pouring in. The likes kept climbing. And somewhere in the middle of all that online attention, Cindy Sanyu decided it was time to tell the full story — not the highlight reel, but the actual journey. Uganda’s self-styled King Female is glowing, and her fans have noticed. But in a recent interview, Cindy made it clear that what people are seeing online is the result of months of quiet, unglamorous work — and that the path from where she started to where she stands now was anything but a straight line. What she said next is the…

She handed over her song, her platform, and a piece of her spotlight — all in the name of kindness. And according to Cindy Sanyu, she got burned for every single one of those decisions. In a candid interview with Galaxy TV, Uganda’s self-proclaimed King Female has broken her silence on the fallout with Omega 256 following their smash collaboration See You Tonight. The hit that had fans celebrating two of Uganda’s biggest female voices has apparently left a very different story behind the scenes — one involving disputed awards, a broken revenue agreement, and a 50/50 deal that Cindy…

You got dressed. You bought a gift. You paid for your own transport. You arrived at someone’s birthday party — and then they handed you a price list for food and drinks. If that situation sounds familiar, Kapa Cat is officially on your side. The singer took to TikTok to unload on a birthday party habit that apparently has her at the end of her patience — and her words hit so close to home that the internet couldn’t stay quiet about it. Because it turns out, a lot of people have been to that party. And a lot of…

A funeral. A microphone. And a name that made an entire crowd erupt in cheers. Nobody walked into the burial of veteran Ugandan singer Master Parrot expecting a political earthquake — but that’s exactly what happened when Eddy Kenzo stepped to the mic. In the middle of paying his respects to the fallen artist, the Big Talent Entertainment boss did something that stopped everyone cold: he publicly, loudly, and without hesitation, gave his flowers to Bobi Wine. And the crowd? They went absolutely wild. Kenzo, who serves as president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF), used his speech at…

Douglas Lwanga Sends Powerful Message on Giving Amid Master Parrot Funeral Debate As Uganda’s entertainment industry continues mourning the loss of veteran musician Master Parrot, a heated conversation about generosity, responsibility, and community support has erupted online. At the center of the debate is a controversial question: Should wealthy public figures be expected to financially support every friend, colleague, or acquaintance during times of tragedy? The discussion gained momentum after media personality MC Kats publicly criticized musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine over what he alleged was a lack of contribution toward the vigil and funeral arrangements of the late singer. But while…

What started as a dispute over social media accounts has now exploded into a much bigger battle involving money, ownership, and the rights of child creators. And leading the charge is Bruno K.

A social media post aimed at encouraging compassion has quickly become one of Uganda’s most talked-about online discussions. Media personality MC Kats is once again trending, but this time the conversation isn’t centered on celebrity interviews, television appearances, or entertainment gossip. Instead, it revolves around a viral message from social media commentator Frank Ntambi, who is urging Ugandans to show empathy toward the outspoken presenter rather than mock him over his recent public statements. The post has sparked widespread debate, with some agreeing that support is needed while others questioning whether such conclusions should be drawn publicly. And as the…

Every sellout concert has a name on the poster. But behind every name on that poster, there is almost always someone else — someone the cameras rarely find, someone the crowd never chants for, someone whose phone hasn’t stopped ringing since 6 a.m. In Uganda’s entertainment industry, that person is increasingly Manager Apple. Arnold Ssempijja — the man behind the carefully managed careers of Karole Kasita and John Blaq, the logistics brain keeping Maddox Ssematimba’s operations running smoothly, and the quiet architect behind one of the most talked-about concerts Kampala has seen recently — is done being the best-kept secret…

He was struggling. Visibly. Publicly. And everybody saw it. Master Parrot — one of Uganda’s most recognizable voices from the golden era of the country’s music scene — had spent his final months speaking openly about hardship, disappointment, and a music industry that had moved on without taking care of those who built it. People saw. People watched. And largely, people scrolled past. Then came Monday evening, a fatal road accident on the Northern Bypass in Masanafu, and suddenly — everyone knew his name again. The tributes flooded in. The “RIP brother” posts filled timelines. And Mudra D’ Viral had…

It wasn’t a big argument. There was no public fallout, no diss track, no dramatic press conference. It was a rainy night, a Land Cruiser pulling away, and two artists left standing at the roadside with nothing but a boda-boda and a decision to make. That was the moment the late Master Parrot said everything changed for him — the night he made up his mind to leave Firebase Crew and never look back. In a candid interview he gave before his passing, he finally told the full story of what pushed him out of one of Uganda’s most iconic…

Nobody in Uganda’s music industry asked for this conversation. But Charles Peter Mayiga — the Katikkiro of Buganda, one of the most respected and influential cultural voices in the country — decided to have it anyway. Publicly. Directly. Without apology. His message to Ugandan creatives landed in three parts: stop making explicit music videos, stop mimicking foreign cultures, and stop settling for work you know isn’t good enough. In an industry where those three things have quietly become the norm, Katikkiro Mayiga’s words hit like a bucket of cold water — and the conversation he started isn’t going away anytime…

It was supposed to be a regular road trip to a performance. Five people in a car, music ahead, a show to deliver. Just another night on the road for one of Uganda’s most beloved comedy duos — until headlights cut through the darkness and something large stepped right into their path. A cow. Out of nowhere. At full speed. Sammie and Shawa are alive today by what can only be described as a split-second miracle — and the story of how they cheated death on a Hoima road is as terrifying as it is remarkable. Shawa himself broke the…

Imagine watching your favorite Premier League match on a Saturday afternoon — and suddenly spotting “Visit Uganda” emblazoned across the chest of your team’s starting eleven. It sounds like a dream. But Uganda’s Tourism Minister is treating it like a business meeting. Susan Nakawuki Nsambu has gone on record confirming that her ministry is actively negotiating with Premier League clubs to have the Visit Uganda brand appear on their jerseys — a move that would put the East African nation in front of hundreds of millions of football fans worldwide, every single matchday. Rwanda already proved this works. Now Uganda…

Six armed men. A hijacked vehicle. A musician snatched off a Kampala street at night — and then, silence. For over a month, nobody could say where Ugandan singer King Zale was. Not his family. Not his friends. Not the police stations his relatives desperately visited one by one, searching for answers that never came. Now, Uganda’s High Court has had enough. In a landmark ruling delivered on May 29, 2026, Justice Joyce Kavuma issued a writ of habeas corpus — one of the most powerful legal tools in existence — ordering six government security agencies to either produce King…
