After an energetic performance at Shades of Kampala on Wednesday night, singer Cindy Sanyu opened up about the effort she has put into maintaining her physique after becoming a mother.

Speaking to fans, Cindy was asked what keeps her looking fit and youthful despite having given birth. In response, the self-styled “King Herself” explained that her fitness journey began shortly after the birth of her youngest child, Josiah, who is now three years old.

“You guys know my youngest baby is three years old, yeah? My son is called Josiah and he’s three years old now, so that means that I have been on this journey for three years,” Cindy said.

She revealed that she committed herself to regular exercise, hitting the gym frequently as part of her weight-loss and fitness routine.

The singer added that she works out about four times a week and also incorporated other methods into her transformation journey.

According to Cindy, she started using a product called Pezo Mega and later sought professional help from a health clinic, where she received injections aimed at reducing excess fat around her waist and back.

Bebe Cool has agreed to settle his dispute with former Miss Rwanda Jolly Mutesi privately after receiving guidance from Muhoozi Kainerugaba. The intervention has led to the singer deleting all related posts from his X (formerly Twitter) account, signaling an end to the public exchanges.

In a statement shared on his social media, Bebe Cool revealed that Gen Muhoozi personally called him and advised that the matter be handled amicably off social media.

He emphasized that both parties are considered “family” and that there was no need for a public spat.

“Good morning, all. This morning I received a call from my big brother, @mkainerugaba, regarding the issue with Jolly. As my elder and leader, he advised me to drop it, delete the tweets, and resolve it amicably off social media since we are both family to him and there is no need for a public spat. I appreciate his guidance and agree. Thank you,” Bebe Cool wrote.

The development comes shortly after Jolly Mutesi’s legal team issued a cease and desist notice over the allegations. Bebe Cool had earlier accused her of being involved in an alleged online scam linked to promises of football opportunities for his son Alpha Ssali and music connections in Rwanda.

The matter now appears set to be handled privately away from social media drama.

The singer misses a note. Then another. By the chorus, he has completely lost the key.

Nobody cares.

Instead, dozens of voices rise from the crowd to help him through the song. Friends wave their phones in the air, strangers sing along and the band keeps playing. For a few minutes, an accountant, teacher, banker or university student becomes the star of the show.

This is one of the reasons band nights have become such a powerful part of Kampala’s nightlife.

Across the city, live bands have transformed ordinary evenings into communal experiences where audiences are not just spectators but performers. The microphone routinely leaves the hands of professional musicians and finds its way to patrons eager to sing their favourite songs.

And they keep coming back.

Some arrive to celebrate birthdays. Others come to unwind after a long week. Many simply want the thrill of hearing a live band recreate the soundtrack of their lives.

What follows is often beautiful chaos.

Lyrics are forgotten. Notes go astray. Yet those imperfect performances frequently become the night’s biggest highlights.

“It doesn’t matter whether you can sing or not,” says Patrick Kaboyo, a regular at band nights around Kampala. “The moment you step on stage and the crowd starts singing with you, it feels like you’re performing at your own concert.”

The rise of live bands has given Kampala’s nightlife a different energy. Unlike DJs who play recorded music, bands create room for interaction. Audiences can request songs, dedicate performances to friends and, in many cases, take centre stage themselves.

Few platforms have embraced that spirit more consistently than the Tusker Malt through the platform Tusker Malt Band Nights.

“At Tusker Malt, we believe great music should be experienced, not just listened to. The Tusker Malt Band Nights have created a platform where audiences become part of the show. Whether it’s someone celebrating a birthday, singing their favourite classic or simply winding down after a long week, those moments of participation are what have made the experience so memorable,” says Sandra Againe, Tusker Malt brand manager.

Over the years, the Tusker Malt Band Nights have grown into one of the country’s most recognizable live music platforms, providing a stage for some of Uganda’s most accomplished bands while cultivating a loyal audience that appreciates music beyond the recorded track. The platform has hosted celebrated acts including Janzi Band, Abeeka Band, Maestro and Unnamed, helping create spaces where audiences can experience music in its most organic form.

What has made the Tusker Malt Band Nights stand out, however, is the way they blur the line between performer and audience. While professional musicians anchor the experience, the platform has become equally known for the spontaneous moments when patrons step onto the stage to sing their favorite songs. Whether it is a birthday celebrant taking over the microphone for a beloved ballad or a group of friends delivering an enthusiastic rendition of a classic hit, the nights have become a celebration of participation as much as performance.

On any given night, a patron can walk in intending to watch and leave having performed before hundreds of people.

Birthdays have become a particularly popular feature of band nights. It is not uncommon for a celebrant to find themselves singing alongside a live band while an entire venue joins in.

For many, that moment is the real attraction. Not the drinks. Not the venue. The chance to live out a superstar fantasy, even if only for one song.

As Kampala’s live music culture continues to grow, band nights have become more than entertainment. They have become a stage for everyday people.

And whether they are perfectly in tune or gloriously off-key, the audience keeps singing.

Bebe Cool has accused former Miss Rwanda Jolly Mutesi of fraud, claiming she failed to deliver on a promised form of assistance after gaining his trust in what he describes as a misleading arrangement.

According to Bebe Cool, Mutesi allegedly promised to help him advance his son’s football dreams by leveraging connections with English Premier League side Arsenal. He claims the agreement was made through conversations that later turned suspicious when the promised assistance did not materialise.

In her defence, Jolly Mutesi dismissed the allegations, insisting that Bebe Cool may have been communicating with an impersonator rather than her. She advised the singer to be more careful in his dealings and “use common sense” when engaging in such sensitive matters.

To support his claims, Bebe Cool shared screenshots of an alleged WhatsApp conversation in which the individual identified as “Jolly Mutesi” allegedly offered to assist with his son’s football career.

In the messages, the sender makes several strong accusations and claims of knowledge about Bebe Cool’s personal affairs, while also referencing connections in Uganda and Rwanda.

The authenticity of the messages has not been independently verified, and neither party has provided conclusive evidence confirming the identity of the account involved.

Veteran media personality MC Kats has opened up about his HIV journey, admitting that he never imagined he would contract the virus at the height of his fame and success.

Speaking candidly, Kats revealed that he sometimes wishes he could meet God and ask who infected him with HIV.

He explained that during the peak of his entertainment career, he was constantly in the spotlight, moving from bars to television appearances, and enjoying the celebrity lifestyle without thinking he was at risk.

“When I meet God, I want to ask him who infected me with HIV. That was the time I was all over the place; in bars, on TV and I was selling like a hot cake, and I felt like I was too cool to get HIV,” Kats said.

He added that despite having one encounter with an older woman, she later tested negative, leaving him with unanswered questions about how he contracted the virus.

Kats also reflected on how difficult HIV testing was in the past compared to today. He praised the availability of HIV self-testing kits, saying many people now have easier access to testing than his generation did.

According to him, testing previously required visiting health facilities, something he was reluctant to do because of his celebrity status and fear of appearing vulnerable.

The outspoken television presenter urged people to take advantage of modern HIV testing options, noting that early testing and awareness can make a significant difference. He expressed frustration that some people ignore the self-testing kits available today despite the convenience they offer.

Former Miss Uganda and media personality Stella Nantumbwe, popularly known as Ellah, has deactivated her known Instagram account amid the ongoing public controversy surrounding her separation from her estranged husband, Saidi Bukenya.

The development comes as discussions about the couple’s failed marriage continue to dominate social media. Nantumbwe and Bukenya tied the knot in August last year, but their relationship has recently come under intense public scrutiny following allegations related to household property reportedly taken from their marital home after the separation.

On the morning of June 16, 2026, a video recorded by Nantumbwe before leaving her husband’s residence surfaced online. It remains unclear whether the former beauty queen personally released the footage or whether it was shared by someone who had access to it. In the video, Nantumbwe is seen moving through different rooms of the house, including the bedroom and washroom, documenting various items and household belongings.

The video emerged a day after the Head of the State House Investors Protection Unit, Edith Nakalema, publicly appealed to Nantumbwe to return property allegedly taken from Bukenya following the breakdown of their marriage. During the recording, Nantumbwe states that she only left the home with her personal vehicle, seemingly responding to claims that she departed with household assets.

Although Nantumbwe has not publicly explained the reason behind the deactivation of her Instagram account, many observers believe she may have chosen to temporarily step away from social media as public debate surrounding the matter continues. Neither Nantumbwe nor Bukenya has issued any fresh statement regarding the latest developments.

A video recorded by former Miss Uganda Stellah Nantumbwe, popularly known as Ellah, before she left her matrimonial home has surfaced online amid ongoing allegations regarding property taken from her former husband following the collapse of their marriage.

The footage emerged just a day after the Head of the State House Investors Protection Unit, Edith Nakalema, publicly appealed to Nantumbwe to return household items that were allegedly removed from the home after the couple separated. Nakalema’s remarks sparked widespread debate on social media, with many Ugandans weighing in on the matter.

The footage appears intended to provide evidence of what was left behind before her departure.

According to information obtained by this publication, Nantumbwe did not leave with any household belongings and only drove away in her Lexus vehicle, which is reportedly her personal property.
