When you talk about Northern Uganda’s finest on the mic, one name commands respect like no other — Kash Owakabi. A certified East African legend, comedian, and events king, Kash has taken his craft from Gulu to Kigali, and from Kampala to Kenya, proving that northern talent can shine anywhere. Just this mid-October, the man himself lit up a major show in Rwanda, leaving fans in stitches, before headlining several gigs across Kampala.  The North’s finest didn’t just perform — he raised the bar for every upcoming emcee dreaming of the spotlight. But while Kash continues to make East African rounds, one of his protégés, Mc Young Moni, has found himself trending for all the wrong reasons. Word hit the streets of Gulu City that the young hype master was spotted defacing campaign posters of NUP’s Bobi Wine and singer Liama ahead of the presidential campaign trail. A reckless move that quickly sparked debate across social media and sent shockwaves through the enter...

The dancehall streets have been eerily quiet lately. No “ Dyewor ” energy rattling speakers, no Adong Music vibe setting clubs on fire. It’s like the queen herself pressed pause while the rest kept dancing. But maybe… just maybe… this silence is the prelude to something epic . Let’s rewind. When Adong Music unleashed “Dyewor (Kwo Mit I dyewor)” six years ago, it didn’t just trend — it swept across the country . Played in every bar, every village auction, every kafunda from Laliya to Namwongo , it became the heartbeat of the streets. People didn’t just listen; they moved , they shouted , they lived Dyewor. Over 50,000 YouTube streams later, Adong was no longer just a singer — she was a force of nature . In a male-dominated scene, she didn’t just compete — she claimed the crown . Follow-ups like “ Kakwangala ” and “ Adegi ” cemented her as Northern Uganda’s fiercest female trailblazer , a queen whose voice echoed from the dusty village markets to the neon-lit clubs of Kampala . ...

By Entertainment Desk | KamuleKumalo.com The story didn’t start in a bar. It started on DJ Richie’s WhatsApp status — that sacred timeline where real ones drop what’s on their mind with zero filter. The post was short, bold, and sharp enough to slice through industry silence: “Artists who got campaign money and forgot the DJs — we shall meet in the bar.” It wasn’t a rant. It was a vibe. Within minutes, the screenshot was circulating faster than an Arsenal highlight reel after a weekend win. The DJs felt it, the artists read it twice, and by sunset, every creative group chat in Gulu was debating it. From Status to Streets See, DJ Richie didn’t need a press conference. One WhatsApp post did the job. And for those who know the nightlife circuit, the message hit different. Richie is no rookie — he’s that sound doctor who’s carried Gulu’s bar scene on his back for years. From Oxford Sports Lounge to every street gig that’s ever needed rhythm, he’s been there, mic in hand, steering the ene...

Something’s been bubbling quietly in Gulu’s influencer streets — a secret so soft, yet too loud to hide. For weeks, fans whispered, cameras zoomed, and captions got mysteriously shorter. And now, the whispers have finally turned into headlines: Trona — yes, the Trona of Bapa Hotel fame — is four months pregnant! They say love always finds a stage, and for Trona, it started under the golden lights of Bapa Hotel — the same place she built her influencer crown. That unforgettable night when a Kampala-based influencer knelt down with a ring and roses? Oh, Gulu stood still. Phones were up, reels went viral, and hashtags multiplied like heart emojis. But what if that fairytale night wasn’t the final chapter — just the prologue to something messier, juicier, and far more real? Because word on the city’s wireless grapevine is that this baby bump might have another storyline entirely. 👀 A few eagle-eyed fans noticed her quiet shifts — the late-night studio c...

A conversation between two generations at the edge of Uganda’s political transition. The Yellow Hour It’s a Kampala evening in late October 2025. The sun melts into Nakasero ’s skyline, painting the city in a strange blend of gold and uncertainty. From the veranda of a crowded café near Fairway Hotel , Andrew Muwende sits opposite a young man—hoodie, earpods, restless energy. Youth:  “Uncle Muwende, be honest—this thing of people crossing to NRM every week, isn’t it just political survival? I mean, over 1,000 NUP guys at Kololo ? That’s not unity; that’s desperation.” Muwende (chuckling):  “Ah, my son, politics is never about desperation—it’s about timing. What you’re calling defection, the strategists in State House call realignment. When 1,000 NUP faithful walk into Kololo and Museveni hugs them like prodigal sons, that’s not chaos—it’s choreography. It’s a message to the country: unity is the new currency.” He sips his espresso slowly, eyes glinting. “Look at Nebbi —50...

The Rise of Kasid Puma — From Local Buzz to National Vibes If you’ve been anywhere near a northern Ugandan campaign rally lately, chances are you’ve felt the electricity before even seeing the man. Kasid Puma , born in Kitgum but holding it down in Gulu , has been transforming political gatherings into impromptu concerts. He’s not just a performer — he’s an experience.

Puma’s lyrics speak to their realities, frustrations, and celebrations. His presence at rallies a...

There comes a time in every queen’s life when the thrill of dating guys who still think "adulting" is a hashtag loses its charm. For Tiwa Savage, the undisputed  Queen of Afrobeats , that time is now. At 48, the Nigerian superstar has officially retired from the  "Let me teach you how life works, baby"  dating league and is now in the market for a man who knows where he’s going—preferably with a ring and a plan. In what might be the most relatable celebrity revelation since someone finally admitted that private jets are just Uber with more champagne, Tiwa recently declared that she’s done with young guys whose idea of commitment is remembering to text back before noon.  "In the past, I have dated a lot of guys who are way too young to be with me,"  she confessed, in a tone that suggests she’s been to the rodeo, ridden the bull, and now just wants a nice, stable horse. The Problem with Young Bloods Let’s be real—dating yo...
