Popular Ugandan singer David Lutalo has raised concern among fans after openly speaking about his financial struggles on TikTok.
The once highly booked artist has been using TikTok live sessions to share his contact details while appealing to promoters for bookings.
During several live streams this year, Lutalo has emotionally opened up about his situation, revealing that he is currently broke and in need of performance opportunities.
His public appeals have sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some fans sympathizing with him, while others have urged him to return to the studio and release new music.
A section of followers has also advised the singer to reconnect with songwriters he previously worked with, hoping it could help revive his career.
In 2025, Lutalo reportedly experimented with new sounds like Lingala and Afrobeats in a bid to tap into international markets—something many believe may have affected his local appeal.
Before this rough patch, David Lutalo was among the most sought-after performers in Uganda, making his current situation a surprising turn for many in the industry.
