Ugandan gospel singer Gabbie Ntaate has reportedly taken YouTubers Sula Flexible and Shallom Kaweesi to court over alleged defamation, escalating a public dispute that followed her comments about religious discrimination.
The singer is accusing the two online personalities of damaging her reputation through remarks made after she spoke about her experiences within Pentecostal church circles.
Ntaate had expressed disappointment with what she described as judgment and exclusion because of her Seventh-day Adventist faith. Her comments subsequently became a subject of discussion online.
The dispute intensified after Sula Flexible appeared in an interview on Shallom Kaweesi’s YouTube platform. During the discussion, Sula reportedly criticised Ntaate’s statements and accused her of interfering in another person’s marriage.
Ntaate has reportedly responded by pursuing legal action, alleging that the comments harmed her reputation. However, the available report does not provide court documents, the specific legal claims filed or confirmation of the case’s procedural status.
The development was publicised by Frank Ntambi, a social media critic and vlogger described in the report as being close to both Sula and Shallom.
Reacting to the situation, Ntambi cautioned people against celebrating the possibility of legal consequences for the two YouTubers.
“We know that is what you all want but, do not celebrate as yet,” Ntambi said, according to the report.
He continued by arguing that legal risks are part of the work undertaken by online commentators and vloggers, even when they try to operate carefully.
“You want Sula and Shalom to be taken to jail but in this type of job that we do, everyone is a possible candidate for jail,” he said.
Ntambi’s remarks suggest that the dispute has raised concerns among some people in the online commentary space about the potential legal consequences of public criticism.
For Ntaate, the reported case follows a debate that began with her comments about religious identity and belonging. What started as a discussion about her experiences has since expanded into a confrontation involving personal allegations and questions about reputational harm.
Defamation claims generally concern statements alleged to have unlawfully damaged a person’s reputation, but the outcome of any case depends on the specific statements, evidence and applicable law. The fact that legal action is reportedly being pursued does not establish that defamation occurred.
Neither the supplied report nor the quoted remarks establish whether a court has issued any orders or whether the matter has progressed beyond the reported filing.
The case therefore remains a developing story, with further details needed to clarify the allegations and the legal position of everyone involved.
