    King Saha takes aim at Viboyo, labels him “mentally unstable”

    Whatever remarks singer and sound engineer Viboyo made about Kings Love Entertainment boss, King Saha, they didn’t sit well with the latter.

    King Saha has taken a shocking swipe at fellow musician Viboyo, labeling him as someone struggling with mental health issues and urging fans not to take his statements seriously.

    The “Zakayo” hitmaker made the remarks while performing at a show where he had been booked, abruptly turning his set into a public message aimed at Viboyo.

    There’s a guy called Viboyo; he is mentally disturbed, please. When you spot him, don’t take him seriously because he is crazy. When someone has mental problems, that means they’re crazy. Viboyo is crazy. Don’t beat him, don’t blame him, and don’t comment wrongly. Viboyo is crazy.

    He went on to claim that he had only recently learned about Viboyo’s alleged challenges and promised to extend a helping hand.

    I didn’t know, but I just got to learn about his challenges. So, I’m going to try and help him. Since I have a merciful heart, I’m going to work hard and help him.

    King Saha’s remarks have since sparked attention, with the singer appearing to call for sympathy towards Viboyo rather than criticism or confrontation for what he is better known for when someone attacks him.

    The brewing feud is believed to have stemmed from remarks Viboyo made about King Saha being a son-in-law to the first family based on grounds that he had a child with Gen. Saleh’s daughter Racheal Kente.

  • NSSF, Nzeyi reach deal on Temangalo Land Dispute; Businessman to hand over 10 acres, buy remaining 45 acres at market value

    National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and businessman Amos Nzeyi have agreed on a plan to resolve their long-running dispute over 55 acres of land in Temangalo.

    Under the agreement, Nzeyi will hand over 10 acres of the disputed land to NSSF and buy the remaining 45 acres at the prevailing market price.

    The value of the 45 acres will be determined after the land is assessed by a government valuer, an independent valuer and Nzeyi’s own valuer. The three valuers will establish the current market value of the property.

    NSSF Managing Director Patrick Ayota disclosed the agreement on 24 August when he and Nzeyi appeared before Parliament’s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE).

    The committee subsequently postponed its inquiry to allow the land to undergo valuation.

    The disputed 55 acres are part of the 463.87 acres that NSSF bought from Nzeyi and ARMA Limited in 2008 for Shs11 billion.

    The entire property is covered by six certificates of title, all registered in NSSF’s name and currently in the fund’s possession. However, NSSF has never taken full physical possession of the land because Nzeyi has continued to occupy the disputed 55 acres, where his country home is located.

    NSSF Legal Director Agnes Tibayeita Isharaza told COSASE that the proposed settlement followed negotiations between the two parties.

    She said Nzeyi had agreed to buy back the disputed 45 acres at the prevailing market price, subject to valuation.

    However, Isharaza stressed that the agreement was not yet final because it still requires several statutory approvals and clearances.

  • Billionaire Sudhir’s wisdom on how to invest in real estate

    Billionaire Sudhir’s wisdom on how to invest in real estate

    Many people want to invest in real estate, but the amount of money required to invest in the sector scares many. More so, how to manage the business is another challenge all together. However, there is one man who never stops to invest in real estate. Every year, Sudhir Ruparelia, oversees a new project on his table, and there, he has a secret many dreamers don’t know.

    Ruparelia Group founder is the king of real estate in Uganda. No Ugandan alive has built so much commercial properties like him. When Sudhir Ruparelia talks business or real estate, everyone listens. His investments are mainly in the areas of banking, insurance, education, broadcasting, real estate, floriculture, hotels, and resorts.

    That is why when talks at Uganda Revenue Authority tax events where a number of prominent guests discuss matters of national tax policies everyone listens.

    Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia, recognized by Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) as Uganda’s top Tax Payer has shared his hindsight on why he believes Real Estate is the real deal which has perseverance through all seasons.

    He cautions investors against borrowing to start the real estate business, instead to grow organically.

    “Allow some form of organic growth. So long as you have a good amount of cash flow coming in, you mainly need to focus on the right location and the right plan, that’s all,” Sudhir says adding, ”just invest and plan right.”

    The point is, Sudhir says start from where you are and grow upwards.

    “First, try and grow according to the cash flow you have and are creating. It is probably the best option. Because the truth is said, opportunities come all the time, especially when you have good cash flow. Take those opportunities.”

    URA awarded dozens of companies, individuals and government agencies in different categories and the billionaire was a highlight speaker.

    Sudhir remains the highest property tax payer in the country and URA has year after year recognized his efforts to create a robust real estate empire. The billionaire’s property companies own more than 300 commercial buildings and continues to be a developer adding to Kampala’s growing skyline each passing year.

  • Jessica Simpson Confirms Netflix Documentary About Her Life

    Jessica Simpson Confirms Netflix Documentary About Her Life

    Jessica Simpson is preparing to tell her story in her own words.

    The American singer, actress, and fashion entrepreneur has confirmed that Netflix is developing a documentary about her life and career, with the project expected to arrive in 2027.

    Simpson has spent more than two decades in the spotlight, building a career that has taken her from pop music to reality television, acting and the fashion industry. Now, the documentary promises to bring those different chapters together.

    She first found success as a pop singer in the late 1990s with songs such as “I Wanna Love You Forever.” Later, she became a television star through the reality show “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica,” which followed her marriage to fellow singer Nick Lachey.

    She also pursued acting and launched The Jessica Simpson Collection, which grew into a successful fashion brand.

    A New Chapter for Jessica Simpson

    The documentary announcement comes as Simpson returns to music after spending several years away from the industry.

    She has released new material and returned to performing, opening another chapter in a career that continues to evolve.

    Netflix has not announced an exact release date, but the documentary is expected to arrive in 2027.

    The project will give Simpson an opportunity to look back on the career that made her a household name while she continues to shape her next chapter.

  • Kit Harington Replaces Nicholas Hoult in Major “Harry Potter” Casting Shake-Up

    Kit Harington Replaces Nicholas Hoult in Major “Harry Potter” Casting Shake-Up

    HBO’s upcoming “Harry Potter” series has made a sudden casting change, with English actor Kit Harington, best known for playing Jon Snow in “Game of Thrones,” taking over the role of Gilderoy Lockhart from fellow English actor Nicholas Hoult.

    Hoult, known for films including “X-Men,” “The Menu” and “Superman,” had recently joined the project to play the vain and fame-hungry Hogwarts professor.

    However, scheduling conflicts reportedly forced him to leave the production.

    The role of Lockhart became famous when English actor and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh played the character in the 2002 film “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.”

    A Sudden Casting Change

    The change comes before audiences have even seen the first season of HBO’s ambitious television adaptation.

    Harington now steps in to play Lockhart in the show’s second season, which will adapt “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.”

    The character arrives at Hogwarts as its new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, armed with bestselling books, a huge ego and a carefully crafted celebrity image. However, his glamorous reputation hides a very different reality.

    From Westeros to Hogwarts

    Harington already has some experience with the character. The English actor previously voiced Lockhart in a recent full-cast “Harry Potter” audiobook production.

    Now, he will bring the flamboyant wizard to the screen.

    For Harington, the role marks a sharp departure from Jon Snow, the serious and battle-hardened character that made him a global star in “Game of Thrones.”

    Instead of battling White Walkers in Westeros, he will head to Hogwarts to play one of the wizarding world’s most memorable and self-obsessed characters.

    She urged women and members of the public to turn up and support the initiative, which will focus on healing, encouragement, empowerment, and open conversations.

    What Really Pushed Bad Black to Get a BBL? She Opens Up

    Bad Black has opened up about the body-shaming that pushed her to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), saying the constant comments about her appearance eventually influenced her decision to change her body.

    The Ugandan socialite shared the experience during a sit-down on Sanyuka Uncut, where she reflected on some of the criticism she received online.

    However, the conversation soon became emotional as Bad Black looked back on some of the difficult experiences she has faced.

    At one point, she broke down in tears, showing a different side of the bold personality that many people know from social media.

    The interview later shifted to a lighter moment when Bad Black spoke about her “Slim Daddy,” showering him with praise and saying she understands some of the things he does that have contributed to his success.

    From the body-shaming that influenced her decision to get a BBL to the emotional moments that brought her to tears, the conversation gave Bad Black the chance to open up about different parts of her life.

  • Eddy Yawe Promises Fans a Concert in Early 2027

    Eddy Yawe Promises Fans a Concert in Early 2027

    Eddy Yawe says fans who have been asking him to stage a concert will not have to wait much longer.

    The multi-talented veteran musician has revealed that he plans to organise a show at the beginning of 2027 after receiving repeated requests from fans.

    Many people have been asking me for a concert, but let us wait for next year. At the beginning of the year, I will organise it.

    While discussing his music, Yawe also addressed questions about why he has not been performing alongside fellow musician Carol Nantongo, despite the two having songs together.

    According to him, there is no bad blood between them.

    He explained that collaborating on a song does not mean artists must perform together every time.

    Singing a song with someone does not mean you are in prison and have to perform with them every time. There are times when that person is far from you, and you have to improvise.

    Yawe also had some advice for young musicians, urging them to focus on producing quality music rather than chasing short-term trends.

    He encouraged upcoming artists to create songs that can stand the test of time and remain enjoyable for years.

  • Infotrust, JB Say Criticism Changed How They Help Others

    Infotrust, JB Say Criticism Changed How They Help Others

    Miriam Tarinyeba Tusubira, the CEO of Infotrust, and her husband, JB Halera, the CEO of JB’s Tailored Fashionz, say criticism has changed the way they handle some of their charity work.

    The popular Ugandan couple has faced accusations of seeking publicity whenever they help people in front of cameras, and they say that is one reason they now keep much of their assistance away from the public eye.

    Speaking about the criticism, the two recalled the support they offered to the Ugandan dance group Muwunya Boys and the “Kabaka Mwanga” viral sensation, Luyinda Junior, saying people accused them of showing off on both occasions.

    When we helped Kabaka Mwanga and the Muwunya boys, people called it showing off. That is why, nowadays, we help even people who are not in the limelight. We do not even show them on camera.

    Miriam and JB say they continue to help many people who are neither public figures nor in the limelight, without bringing cameras along.

    For them, the important part is helping from the heart, whether the public sees it or not.

    The pair also shared a lighter update about Luyinda, revealing that he could soon introduce his partner to his family.

    They joked that people should prepare themselves because they might soon be called upon to support his introduction ceremony.

    JB also spoke about his relationship with Miriam, saying their connection goes beyond friendship.

    He explained that they are business partners who treat each other’s businesses as their own and work closely together.

    Miriam’s business is my business, and my business is hers. That is why we work hand in hand.

    For Miriam and JB, the cameras may no longer follow every act of kindness, but they say their work of helping others continues.
