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. The outspoken singer has publicly thrown his support behind viral child sensation Tenge Tenge and his management team, accusing Black Market Records of profiting from content allegedly linked to the youngster without properly compensating those behind it. Over the past several days, Bruno K has unleashed a series of strongly worded social media posts demanding answers from the music distribution company. His message has been consistent throughout:…

Just when the controversy surrounding Black Market Records appeared to be gaining momentum, another artist has stepped forward with serious allegations. Singer Felista Di Superstar has publicly accused the record label of taking control of her content and YouTube channel while allegedly failing to pay her for years. The explosive claims surfaced on social media and have quickly drawn attention across Uganda’s entertainment industry, especially as they come shortly after fellow musician Bruno K raised concerns about his own experiences with the company. Now, Felista is sharing her story. And according to her, the situation has been going on for…

A new King Saha release is officially here—and fans aren’t wasting any time hitting the play button. The celebrated Ugandan singer has unveiled the official music video for his latest song, “Wewe,” adding another chapter to a catalog that has helped cement his place among Uganda’s most beloved vocalists. The video premiered on June 1 and immediately began attracting attention from music lovers eager to see what the singer had prepared next. For many fans, any new King Saha release is an event. And judging by the early reaction, “Wewe” is already finding its audience. “Wewe” Is Finally Here Taking…

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…
