Events emcee Joseph Ssendagire, known as Mzee Bakiddaawo, has shared advice with fellow creatives on the importance of diversifying their talents and continuously adding value to their careers.
According to Mzee Bakiddaawo, creatives should avoid becoming one-dimensional by being known for only one thing, such as comedy or music.
Instead, he encourages them to explore different opportunities and develop multiple skills as a way of growing both professionally and personally.
He believes that limiting oneself to a single talent can hinder progress, especially in an industry where adaptability and versatility are increasingly important.
The advice I give to every creative as you embark on your creative journey is, don’t let the public consider you in one dimension. If you are considered in only one category, that means you will never progress if you stay in one place.
Do not stagnate in one spot, or you will become completely stuck and rusty. There are a lot more things you can do; it’s just that, at the moment, you are yet to unlock your brain.
Mzee Bakiddaawo further noted that creatives should not allow their careers to consume their entire lives to the extent that some neglect other important aspects of life.
He cited some creatives in the music industry who, according to him, have deliberately chosen not to have children because they believe their careers demand too much of their time.
There are some creatives who join the music industry and decide not to give birth, with their minds convinced that music has consumed most of their time.
Twenty-five years after their love story began, Bobi Wine says he would still choose Barbie all over again.
The singer-turned-politician and his wife, Barbie Kyagulanyi, are celebrating 25 years of love and 15 years of marriage.
Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu, marked the double milestone with a heartfelt tribute to the woman with whom he has shared a life for a quarter of a century.
Looking back on their journey in a post shared on August 27, he celebrated the memories, the smiles, the tears and the challenges they have faced together.
25 years of a beautiful love affair and 15 years of holy matrimony. Countless memories, smiles, tears, ups and downs, but still together.
After all those years, Bobi Wine says his love for Barbie has only grown stronger.
And if life gave him the chance to do it all again, he insists there is only one woman he would choose.
Dear Barbie Itungo, I love you more than I did 25 years ago, and if I had to do it again, I would still choose you again and again.
Their journey from lovers to husband and wife reached a major milestone on August 27, 2011, when they officially exchanged vows.
The wedding went on to become one of Uganda’s most memorable celebrity events, bringing parts of Kampala to a standstill as “ghetto royalty” met high-society glamour.
Over the years, Bobi Wine and Barbie have also built a family together and are parents to four children.
Fifteen years later, the couple is marking another wedding anniversary, while their love story stretches even further back.
And for Bobi Wine, the message remains simple after 25 years: he would still choose Barbie.
For nearly 31 years, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV has been the face of Tooro Kingdom. He ascended to the throne at just three years old, grew up in the full glare of the country and the world, and eventually took full responsibility for one of Uganda’s most prominent traditional institutions.
King Oyo died on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at about 10:00 p.m., according to Tooro Kingdom Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki. He was 34.
Oyo was born on April 16, 1992, at Nsambya Hospital in Kampala. He was the son of the late Omukama Patrick David Matthew Rwamuhokya Kaboyo Olimi III and Queen Mother Best Kemigisa.
His life changed dramatically when his father died suddenly on August 26, 1995. Oyo was only three years old at the time.
Less than three weeks later, on September 12, 1995, the young prince was enthroned as the Omukama of Tooro. His extraordinary age immediately attracted international attention, and he was recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s youngest reigning monarch.
Becoming king at the age of three meant that Oyo could not immediately take charge of the affairs of the kingdom. Senior members of the royal family and regents guided the institution as he grew up, while his mother, Queen Mother Best Kemigisa, played a central role in preparing him for the responsibilities that lay ahead.
His enthronement gave the world an unforgettable image of a small child seated on the royal throne, surrounded by elders and cultural leaders. The ceremonies followed important Tooro traditions, including the sounding of the sacred Nyalebe drum.
For the Batooro, however, Oyo was more than just a child king. He represented the future of a centuries-old monarchy and grew up carrying the responsibility of preserving one of Uganda’s most important cultural institutions.
Despite being a king, Oyo also had to grow up as a student. He attended preschool in London before returning to Uganda, where he studied at Aga Khan Primary School and later Kampala International School.
He later returned to the United Kingdom for university and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Winchester in October 2013.
His education was part of the preparation for the day when he would no longer simply be known as the world’s youngest king, but would take direct responsibility for the affairs of Tooro Kingdom.
That moment came when he turned 18 in April 2010.
After years under the guidance of regents, Oyo began taking full operational control of the kingdom. The transition marked the beginning of a new chapter in his reign as he stepped into adulthood and assumed greater responsibility for representing the Batooro, preserving their culture and supporting the development of Tooro Kingdom.
As an adult monarch, King Oyo increasingly turned his attention to young people. He regularly encouraged them to acquire practical skills, embrace agriculture, start businesses and explore opportunities beyond formal employment. He also supported programmes aimed at improving education, health and economic development.
One question that followed King Oyo throughout his adult life was when he would formally marry.
Unlike some traditional rulers, he had not installed a Queen Consort, known in Tooro as the Omugo, by the time of his death. Religious leaders and even his mother, Queen Mother Best Kemigisa, publicly encouraged him to marry.
However, King Oyo never publicly announced a wife.
His death announcement, however, revealed something that had not previously been made public: the King had left behind a Prince who is regarded as his heir. The identity of the Prince has not yet been officially revealed, with the Kingdom saying he will be presented at the appropriate time in accordance with Tooro customs and traditions.
King Oyo’s story will remain one of the most remarkable in Uganda’s modern history. He was only three years old when he became king. At 18, he took full operational control of Tooro Kingdom. By the time of his death at 34, he had spent almost his entire life on the throne.
Ugandan singer-songwriter Jon Muq, who is based in Austin, Texas, USA, has announced the launch of Shake It Africa – a new record label and live entertainment company dedicated to connecting African artists with global audiences through music, live experiences, artist development, and cultural exchange
The company launched with the release of “Shake Shake Dance For Me,” a new single from Jon Muq produced by Grammy-winning producer Derek Dixie, whose credits include Beyoncé, Chloe x Halle, and The Carters.
Blending infectious Afrobeat rhythms with Muq’s soulful songwriting, the track serves as both the company’s inaugural release and a statement of its mission: celebrating African culture while creating meaningful opportunities for artists across the continent.
Jon Muq & Kevin Wommack
There were times when it felt like you had to chase your dream alone…Shake It Africa is the company I dreamed of when I was younger. If one young artist believes their future is possible because of what we’re building, then we’ve already made an impact.
Jon Muq
“Shake Shake Dance For Me” is a brand-new Afrobeat remake of Muq’s original 2024 recording, produced by Dan Auerbach and released by Easy Eye Sound.
Inspired by Muq’s own journey from Uganda to international stages, Shake It Africa was developed alongside veteran music executive Kevin Wommack, whose industry experience helped transform the vision into a global platform dedicated to elevating African artists and expanding their reach across Africa, Europe, and North America.
For Muq, Shake It Africa is deeply personal. Rather than simply creating another record label, Muq envisioned an ecosystem where African artists could find mentorship, creative opportunities, international exposure, and a supportive community without losing sight of their identity or culture.
Together with Wommack, that vision evolved into Shake It Africa – a company committed to creating lasting pathways for artists while using music to strengthen cultural connections around the world.
Alongside the launch, Shake It Africa also announced its first major recording project, Bantu Muntu, arriving February 12, 2027.
The 10-track compilation brings together artists from Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria, including Jon Muq, Jaywon, Jeff Akoh, Kaesa, Biya, MicPro256, Njuguna, and additional collaborators, celebrating both established voices and emerging talent while reflecting the company’s commitment to cross-border collaboration and global discovery.
More About Jon Muq
Born in a one-room home outside Kampala, Uganda, Jon Muq didn’t grow up imagining a music career. His musical education came piece by piece, first listening from a distance to a school brass band, later singing in his boarding school’s choir, learning English through songs like “We Are the World,” and teaching himself guitar by watching church musicians.
As his career eventually carried him from Uganda to stages across Africa, Europe, and the United States, Muq realized how few clear pathways existed for young African artists hoping to build sustainable international careers.
Shake It Africa was born from a desire to create the kind of opportunities, mentorship, and global connections he wished had existed when he began his own journey.
We’re not just releasing music; we’re creating the kind of opportunities many of us wished existed when we were starting out. I know what it feels like to chase a dream without knowing if there’s room for you. Shake It Africa is about making sure more African artists are seen, heard, and supported while staying true to who they are.
Jon Muq, founder and Creative Director of Shake It Africa
Beyond recorded music, Shake It Africa’s first live initiative begins September 20, 2026, with a monthly residency at Pershing Hall in Austin, Texas, introducing audiences to African artists, DJs, and cultural programming.
The series will expand internationally with its first European showcase in Utrecht, Netherlands, on March 27, 2027.
“Jon brought a vision rooted in lived experience and a genuine understanding of what many African artistsface,” says Kevin Wommack, CEO and co-founder of Shake It Africa. “My role has been helping build theinfrastructure, partnerships, and long-term strategy that can turn that vision into something lasting.Together, we’re creating opportunities that extend well beyond music.”
With new music, recurring live events, international showcases, artist development initiatives, and collaborative recording projects already underway, Shake It Africa is building an ecosystem designed to elevate African artists while bringing the richness and diversity of African music and culture to audiences around the world.

King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the Omukama of Tooro, was one of Uganda’s most recognisable traditional leaders and became internationally known after ascending the throne as a three-year-old. He died on August 27, 2026, aged 34, bringing to an end a 31-year reign.
Born on April 16, 1992, King Oyo was the son of the late Omukama Patrick David Matthew Kaboyo Olimi III and Queen Mother Best Kemigisa. His father died on August 26, 1995, and the three-year-old Oyo succeeded him as King of Tooro on September 12 that year.
His accession attracted international attention because he became the world’s youngest reigning monarch, a distinction for which he was recognised by Guinness World Records. His youth meant that members of the royal family and other senior figures helped oversee the affairs of the kingdom as he grew up.
Growing up as a child king
Although he carried the responsibilities and symbolism of the Tooro crown from childhood, Oyo also pursued a formal education. He spent part of his early childhood in the United Kingdom before returning to Uganda, where he attended Aga Khan Primary School and later Kampala International School Uganda.
He subsequently went to the United Kingdom for university and graduated from the University of Winchester in 2013 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management.
As he matured, King Oyo increasingly took on an active role in the affairs of the Tooro Kingdom. His position was primarily cultural, reflecting the constitutional status of Uganda’s traditional institutions, but he used his influence to promote development and social causes among his subjects.
A king who championed youth
Youth empowerment became an important part of King Oyo’s public work. He advocated for vocational skills, entrepreneurship, agriculture and opportunities that could enable young people to create livelihoods.
In 2021, he launched Tooro Kingdom Vision 2045, a long-term development framework focused on socio-economic transformation and prosperity. Its priorities included youth skills development, agriculture, poverty reduction, employment and wealth creation, tourism, environmental conservation, health and the preservation of Tooro’s cultural heritage.
His emphasis on skills and economic empowerment continued into his final years. In 2024, he praised initiatives aimed at providing young Ugandans with vocational skills and encouraged Tooro subjects to take advantage of industrial-hub training programmes.
Advocate against HIV/AIDS
King Oyo also became a prominent advocate in the fight against HIV/AIDS, particularly among young people.
In 2014, he was selected as an ambassador for a youth-led campaign seeking to end AIDS in Africa by 2030. He later took on a wider role as a UNAIDS Cultural Champion for HIV and AIDS among young people in Eastern and Southern Africa. UNAIDS records his commitment to ending AIDS as a public-health threat and to preventing new HIV infections among young people.
Preserving Tooro’s heritage
Beyond development programmes, King Oyo’s reign was closely associated with efforts to preserve the cultural identity and heritage of the Batooro.
Tooro Kingdom’s Vision 2045 placed culture, heritage and tourism alongside economic development, reflecting his belief that the kingdom’s cultural institutions could contribute to the social and economic wellbeing of its people.
His reign also spanned a period in which Fort Portal and the wider Tooro region underwent significant development, including the elevation of Fort Portal to city status.
A 31-year reign
King Oyo remained on the throne for nearly 31 years, from September 1995 until his death on August 27, 2026. He celebrated his 30th coronation anniversary in 2025, marking three decades since he became Tooro’s monarch as a child.
His death was announced by Tooro Kingdom Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomire Akiiki, who described it as an immeasurable loss to the royal family, Tooro and Uganda. The kingdom said the continuity of the crown was assured and that King Oyo had left behind a prince who would be formally identified according to Tooro traditions.
King Oyo’s legacy therefore extends beyond the unusual story of a child ascending an ancient throne. Over three decades, he grew from a young monarch into a cultural leader who used the institution of the Tooro monarchy to advocate for youth empowerment, education, health, HIV/AIDS awareness, environmental conservation, tourism and economic development.
At 34, his life and reign came to an unexpectedly early end, leaving behind a kingdom mourning a monarch who had been its public face for most of his life.

Zambia’s Dominic Musonda tightened his grip on the Johnnie Walker Uganda Amateur Open on Thursday, producing a commanding display at Uganda Golf Club, Kitante, to move six strokes clear of his nearest challenger, compatriot Gilbert Chalwe, who was day two leader.
Musonda heads into Friday’s final round firmly in the driving seat, with the title now his to lose after another virtually flawless round.
The Zambian’s only blemish in his 42 holes at Kitante has been a bogey on the second hole on Thursday. Beyond that solitary dropped shot, Musonda has been remarkably consistent, with the 11 pars on his card arguably representing the closest thing to vulnerability in a performance that was otherwise imperious.
He was accurate off the tee, sharp with his wedges and composed whenever the course presented a challenge.
Even on the final hole, when he missed the fairway and appeared to be heading into bogey territory, Musonda demonstrated why he has been so difficult to catch. From deep in the forest, he produced an excellent recovery to reach the green and narrowly missed a birdie putt on one of the toughest pin placements of the tournament.
If the mark of a good golfer is how well he recovers from trouble, Musonda has excelled with flying colours. In reality, however, he has rarely looked genuinely troubled at Kitante.
His Thursday performance also brought him within one stroke of the course record of 63, set by Ugandan professional Deo Akope in 2010 during an MTN Monthly Mug professional event. The record was later equalled by Kenya’s gifted left-hander Richard Ainley.
Musonda had several close calls as he chased the mark but, more importantly, strengthened his position at the top of the championship leaderboard.
The best placed golfer to challenge Musonda is fellow Zambian Gilbert Chalwe, who shot a one-under-par 71 to retain second position.
Chalwe is five strokes ahead of first-round leader Joseph Kasozi, whose challenge faded as the championship moved into its decisive stages.
Uganda’s leading hopes now occupy the next three positions, with Juma Abiti, John Musiimenta and Joseph Cwinya-ai all inside the top six. Another Zambian, Musamba Kapoma, completes the leading group.
Cwinya-ai produced one of the standout rounds of the day, carding an impressive three-under-par 69 after making eight birdies. His performance offered a timely reminder of his championship pedigree and restored respectability to his challenge.
But the biggest story remains Musonda’s dominance.
With a six-stroke cushion and his game firing on all cylinders, the Zambian has placed himself in an enviable position. It will take a remarkable final-round collapse — or an extraordinary charge from the chasing pack — to prevent him from lifting the Johnnie Walker Uganda Amateur Open trophy.
The main Open concludes on Friday at Kitante before attention shifts to next week’s programme, with the PRO-AM scheduled for Tuesday.
The Johnnie Walker Uganda Amateur Open is supported by ABSA Bank, Aquafina, Medisell, Finaltus, Case Hospital, MTN, National Council of Sports, NBS, Pearl Marina, Rosefoam, Uganda Airlines, Uganda Tourism Board, Uganda Golf Club and The R&A.
The sudden death of Tooro’s King, Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, has left the Kingdom and the country mourning a monarch whose life on the throne began when he was just three years old.
King Oyo died at the age of 34 on Thursday night, August 27, after his health reportedly deteriorated while receiving medical care abroad.
ADVERTISEMENT
Tooro Kingdom Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki confirmed that the Omukama died at approximately 10:00pm, describing his death as an “immeasurable loss” to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and Uganda.
The cancer battle
Although the Kingdom has not officially disclosed the medical cause of death, reports emerging after the monarch’s death indicate that King Oyo had been battling advanced brain cancer.
Nile Post reported that sources said to be close to the situation indicated that the King had been diagnosed with brain cancer at an advanced stage and had been in a coma for days before his death.
A separate social media post circulating after his death specifically cited glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive form of brain cancer, as the reported cause.
However, neither Tooro Kingdom nor the Royal Family has publicly confirmed the specific diagnosis.
This distinction is important because, earlier this month, Tooro Kingdom had strongly rejected reports that King Oyo was battling cancer and receiving treatment in the United States, describing the reports as false and misleading.
The events surrounding King Oyo’s final days unfolded rapidly.
On August 3, the Kingdom said the monarch was abroad for official engagements and further studies and dismissed reports that he was seriously ill.
But on August 27, the tone changed dramatically.
The Kingdom announced that the 34-year-old monarch was in critical condition, asking the people of Tooro and well-wishers across the world to pray for him.
Hours later, the Kingdom confirmed his death.
The rapid deterioration has now raised fresh questions about the illness that had reportedly kept the King under medical care for some time.
A deadly form of brain cancer
If the reports identifying glioblastoma are confirmed, King Oyo would have been battling one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.
Glioblastoma develops in the brain and can progress rapidly, making treatment particularly difficult. The disease can affect brain function and, in advanced cases, cause severe neurological deterioration.
For King Oyo, reports suggest that the illness had progressed significantly before his death.
The Observer reported that the King had been hospitalised abroad for some time before his death, although the publication did not independently establish the exact medical diagnosis.
A life spent on the throne
King Oyo’s death is particularly poignant because he had spent almost his entire life as the Omukama of Tooro.
Born on April 16, 1992, he ascended the throne on September 12, 1995, following the death of his father, King Patrick David Matthew Kaboyo Olimi III.
He was only three years old.
For nearly 31 years, he remained the face of the Tooro monarchy, eventually taking full operational control of the Kingdom as an adult.
His death therefore marks not only the end of a life cut short at 34, but also the end of one of Uganda’s longest modern royal reigns.
Despite the loss, Tooro Kingdom says the institution of the monarchy will continue.
Prime Minister Rwomiire revealed that King Oyo left behind a Prince who is heir to the throne, although his identity will be formally announced at an appropriate time in accordance with Tooro customs and traditions.
As the Kingdom prepares to bury its young monarch, attention is now turning to the final days of King Oyo’s illness, with many waiting for the Royal Family or Tooro Kingdom to officially clarify what cancer claimed the life of a King who had ruled since childhood.
For now, the reports of advanced brain cancer remain unconfirmed by the Kingdom — but they have placed the illness at the centre of questions surrounding King Oyo’s sudden death.
Something interesting is happening in Kampala’s entertainment scene: the past is having a moment.
Old-school music parties are no longer occasional throwbacks. They are becoming a regular part of the city’s social calendar, with events such as Reminisce and the Millennials Picnic recently drawing sold-out crowds. Now, the trend continues this Sunday with The Baileys Old School Picnic at Sheraton Gardens, promising another afternoon of familiar songs, food, drinks and nostalgia.
The resurgence comes at a time when mainstream nightlife has become increasingly dominated by Amapiano, electronic sounds and DJ-driven sets. For some millennials, the bigger these genres have become, the more attractive old-school experiences seem.
“It’s not that we don’t like the new music,” says Sarah Nakanwagi, a regular at Kampala’s nostalgia-themed events. “Sometimes you just want to go somewhere where you know every word to every song. You want to sing, not just dance.”
And that may be the secret behind the revival.
Old-school parties offer something increasingly rare in nightlife: collective memory. A Boyz II Men ballad, a Jose Chameleone classic or an early-2000s RnB hit can turn an entire crowd into a choir. The songs are familiar, the lyrics are known and suddenly strangers are singing together.
The appeal is also financial. Millennials are now in their late twenties, thirties and early forties, with many having greater disposable income and a stronger appetite for experiences that feel worthwhile.
“Millennials are at a stage where they are willing to spend on experiences that give them value,” says David Ssemakula, a Kampala bar manager. “They want good music, good food, comfortable spaces and something they can enjoy with friends. If you create that environment, they will come.”
That is precisely where events such as The Baileys Old School Picnic come in.
The picnic format allows nostalgia to extend beyond the dance floor. Baileys and Tusker Cider have become natural companions to these gatherings, helping turn music-led events into broader lifestyle experiences.
Baileys brings an indulgent element, with its Irish cream lending itself naturally to coffee, desserts and cocktail creations that encourage guests to explore something beyond the usual party drink.
“Baileys is about indulgence and enjoying life’s sweeter moments,” says Evelyn Nansikombi, Baileys Brand Manager. “At gatherings like The Baileys Old School Picnic, we want people to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the little moments, whether that is through music, conversation, food or discovering a new Baileys serve.”
Tusker Cider, meanwhile, fits naturally into the relaxed outdoor setting, particularly alongside food and socialising.
“Tusker Cider has always been part of fun, social experiences, and the picnic setting brings that to life,” says Sandra Againe, the Tusker Cider Brand Manager. “It is about refreshing moments, good food, great music and being around people you enjoy.”
The revival is not limited to music either. Baggy jeans, oversized jerseys and other early-2000s fashion have returned, while younger audiences are increasingly embracing the culture their older siblings grew up with.
Millennials may be coming for the memories, but Gen Z is discovering the vibe.
This Sunday at Sheraton Gardens, The Baileys Old School Picnic will offer another reminder that sometimes the best new trend is simply an old one that people never stopped loving.
The death of Tooro’s King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV has opened a new chapter for the kingdom, with the late monarch leaving behind a son who is set to inherit the Tooro Crown.
Tooro Kingdom Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki, while announcing the death of the 34-year-old monarch, assured the people of Tooro that the continuity of the royal institution is secure.

According to Akiiki, King Oyo left behind a Prince who is his heir, although the identity of the young royal will only be formally revealed at an appropriate time in accordance with Tooro customs and traditions.
“The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir…”
The announcement has brought some reassurance to the Batooro, who were left mourning the death of a King who had occupied the throne for nearly 31 years.
Son to continue the royal bloodline
The identity of King Oyo’s son remains closely guarded, with the Kingdom yet to disclose his name, age or other details.
Authorities have instead indicated that the Prince’s identity and the succession process will be handled according to established Tooro royal traditions and customs.
This means that, although King Oyo has died, the Babiito royal lineage continues through his son.
The announcement also effectively puts succession at the centre of attention as the Kingdom begins mourning its late monarch.
Royal family summoned
The succession question comes as the Tooro Royal Family prepares for a crucial meeting following the King’s death.
Tooro Chief Prince Charles Kamurasi has summoned members of the Royal Family, including princes and princesses, to an emergency meeting at Karuziika Palace in Fort Portal on Friday, August 28.
The meeting is expected to take place as the Kingdom begins the process of mourning and preparing for the transition following King Oyo’s death.
King Oyo’s remarkable reign
King Oyo ascended the Tooro throne on September 12, 1995, following the death of his father, King Patrick David Matthew Kaboyo Olimi III.
He was only three years old at the time, making him the world’s youngest reigning monarch.
He would eventually assume full operational control of the Kingdom as an adult and remained Omukama until his death on August 27, 2026, aged 34.
His death therefore marks the end of an extraordinary royal journey that began in childhood.
Who will be the next Omukama?
For now, the identity of the Prince remains unknown to the public.
The Kingdom has made it clear, however, that the Crown will continue and that King Oyo’s son is the heir.
The forthcoming unveiling of the Prince will therefore be closely watched across Tooro and Uganda as the Kingdom prepares to honour its fallen King and begin a new chapter under the next generation of the royal family.
Renowned media personality Sheila Salta has bid farewell to Kampala-based NRG Radio after four years of service at the station.
