Tripple Play...Uganda's Wacky Showbiz Industry

TRIPPLE PLAY

Gyobera putting an end to Fille’s career.

 

Since time immemorial (read since these two hit the music scene), from the time when Irene Ntale figured she would never get filthy rich and rise to the standards of Juliana, Iryn Namubiru or Whitney Houston (isn’t it every new young female artiste’s dream) by singing for some church choir so she took off some clothes into a more skimpy but not so revealing kind of attire and hit the music world to make money. So she wore less, deleted Jesus in her lyrics and got cozy with likes of Bebe Cool. Fille also decided enough with selling milk in Western Uganda, she dropped into Kampala, got into a relationship with some veteran television presenter who ironically still wins awards for upcoming presenting (MC Kats) and also got on the scene. So for some time the two were always compared. They were like the Iryn and Juliana of the upcoming king. They kept minting hits and semi hits like Cherry Boo boo or something like that with Love letter, Je T’aime with Nkubukinze. Then the inevitable happened, by sheer lack around the time Sheba’s Twesana was the hit and Irene decided to release the stalker’s anthem….Gyobera. The song was a favorite with campusers probably because for the first time since Nkuweki a woman was swearing undying love for a man despite his financial status. When Gyobera came, the comparisons stopped. Ntale was in a whole new level. She was soon a real celebrity, hiding from paparazzi and all. Fille’s career had ended. I mean Ntale was giving out interviews at BBC. She was now a big shot. Well in other words Fille was no more. Ntale was in League A and was getting invites to perform solo at gigs for example Auto Show, Oriflame unveiling Juliana as their ambassador.

Aaron Ramsey Goal Killing Curse

Well it looks like the curse is back for all superstitious folks out there. To many, he is just a harmless Arsenal mid fielder but I am starting to think everyone in Hollywood freaks out and gets worried whenever this chap scores for his goals are usually followed by a big celebrity death. Well to others he is like a prophet of doom and before anxious conspirators start making noise, no I don’t believe that he is an Illuminati killing machine. Well let’s go down into the details and some facts. About 5 celebrities have died hours after midfielder has scored. Apple CEO Steve Jobs, American superstar Whitney Houston, Libyan former leader Muammar Gaddafi , American actor and humanitarian Paul Walker, Al Qaeda leader Bin Laden, and of recent veteran comedian Robin Williams. Osama bin Laden was declared dead on May 2 2011 and Ramsey bagged a goal against Manchester United the day before. Apple guru Steve Jobs died at his home in California on October 5 and Ramsey hit headlines but scoring in North London derby against Spurs the weekend before. Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi was captured by rebels on October 20 that year and Ramsey was there to bag an injury-time winner against Marseille in the Champions League.
And finally Whitney Houston was found dead in her bathroom on February 2012.Just hours before the Gunner has struck against Sunderland. Others believe he may have killed off other celebs with his goals - including legendary basketball player Ray Williams and Russian billionaire Roman Berezovsky. When Fast and Furious actor Paul Walker died in a car accident, Ramsey scored two goals against Cardiff that day. Hours after the star scored in his club's Community Shield victory , the tragic death of comedy actor Robin Williams was announced.

Video Launches, Nudies and Bebe Cool’s Love You Everyday

Wait I know its always important and nice to show that you have something up your sleeve. Now we know being up there in the past meant concert performances and album launches but there is a worrying trade going on…mbu video launches.So let me first get this, artistes put up shows, like concerts where they charge people to come and launch a music video. Videos that have been aired on NTV’s The Beat or Bukedde’s Luyimba Lwo or Urban’s Skizzy shows.Isn’t that a littlke too….desperate? Atfirst I thought this was a bad joke then I heard that Sarah Zawedde had one, then this Maro dude with his Mubi Mubi a collabo with David Lutalo. Then Iryn…the great Iryn Namubiru of all people was planning this circus. Well she later cancelled them allegedly in honour of rival and superstar Juliana’s son Keron Kabugo after he had passed away…a thing that to date I still think was a way to keep in the news. Then Bebe Cool released a wonderful video that got everyone talking. This was good. He had reached the proverbial end of the tunnel.I mean there were other good videos like Goodlife’s Neera, Iryn’s Temperature, Sheeba and Beenie Gunter’s No Offence…but Love You Everyday was close to perfect….until scandal erupted. In abid to use this to show off, Bebe went ahead to lie bragging that the video had cost him 120 Million shillings a thing that was ridiculed and proven to be not true. I mean it was nice but when we see a 120 Million shilling video, we get to know. Then claims that he had stolen the song from Steve Jean’s Fenon Records before time came up. The good thing that came from this perhaps was that it brought back TPF winner Esther Nabaasa into the spotlight as a songwriter. I mean after people supporting her, she had just bagged her millions and disappeared on us like that. Then the nudies disease. First Brenda Nambi , then Margla then Desire….the list is endless. Well there is one thing about me and celebrities , I believe the only truly leaked nude pics are the ones for Jennifer Lawrence. The rest are leaked by the celebrities themselves. So dear celebrities, if you are not as perfect as Flavia Tumusiime, spare us…no one is interested.
