State Minister for Minerals, Phiona Nyamutoro, has revealed the romantic and bold gesture that kickstarted her relationship with Eddy Kenzo.

Speaking during the #RiotYouth2024 conference at Pastor Kanyanja’s church yesterday, Phiona shared the story of how Kenzo told her he wanted to marry her the very first day they met.

Imagine by that time, I wasn’t yet a minister, I wasn’t yet an MP. I don’t know whether he was such a risk-taker that he would just tell somebody he barely knows that he wants to marry them. And confidently, he said he had never asked any woman to marry him.

Phiona acknowledged that their union was part of God’s plan and expressed optimism about building their marriage to last forever.

Eddy Kenzo and Phiona are now officially engaged and share a son together.

Phiona Nyamutoro, the State Minister in charge of Minerals, shared insights into her relationship with Eddy Kenzo, revealing that she initially didn’t know who he was despite his fame.

Phiona revealed that when she first met Eddy, she didn’t recognize him as the superstar he is.

I met an ordinary guy called Eddy, and we became friends. One thing led to another, and now we are here.

Phiona admitted she initially didn’t understand why or how their paths crossed but now believes their union was divinely orchestrated.

I didn’t know who Eddy Kenzo was, even though he’s a celebrated artist and popular in Uganda. But I believe it was God’s plan. I’m exactly the type of woman Eddy prayed for, especially considering his past.

The minister also mentioned the uniqueness of their pairing, noting that their different worlds could have made their relationship unlikely.

Ordinarily, it is unbecoming of a girl in my career to end up with a guy in his career. But even in his career, Eddy isn’t ordinary.

She added that even her pastors recognized something special about Kenzo.

They told me the grace on Eddy is so evident that you can’t deny it. Eddy Kenzo prayed to God for a woman exactly like me.

Spice Diana has opened up about her thoughts on tattoos, revealing why she has chosen to keep her body ink-free.

The “Siri Regular” singer shared that she can’t imagine herself with tattoos as she ages.

I think about myself at 50, maybe as a grandmother, and I have tattoos all over my body. It’s not something I would feel comfortable with.

Spice Diana says that her decision is rooted in her preference for maintaining her natural look. She believes simplicity complements her style and personality.

When asked if she would date someone with tattoos, Spice Diana said it would depend on the extent of the tattoos.

If the tattoos are simple and not all over the body, then maybe. But if it’s too much, it’s not something I would prefer.

Source Management singer Spice Diana says blacklisting artists with inappropriate lyrical content is not the solution to solving the widely growing vice.

She explains that banning artists from having stage performances is a violation of the artists’ rights as art has its restrictions and the age group that it is usually created for.

She adds that before deciding to ban them, at least they would have been given a warning.

Spice Diana further urged fellow artists to always look at the future of their careers rather than rush into creating content seeking fame and hit songs.

The “Bijikona” singer also stressed that all this mess can be phased out by ordering the mentioned artists not to perform those vulgar songs on stage.

The entertainment industry was sent into shock when the news of the passing of former media personality and comedian Nicholas Mpiirwe Kamagala, popularly known as DJ Messe Bontwe went public.

Several public figures have since expressed grief following his passing and joined his family members and relatives in mourning.

Comedian Amooti Omubalanguzu addressed the situation and shared about his relationship with the late.

Speaking on the matter, Amooti maintained that he and the late DJ Messe Bontwe have been on good talking terms and had no beef between them at all.

We are mature and grown up people. Our difference was only that we had separated as Amarula Family and everyone decided to take another path. He left the country for greener pastures to the U.S.A.

Our separation wasn’t this childish issue that we beef one another, No. We were on good talking terms as we would jazz often.

Amooti was downbeat since the passing of DJ Messe happened on the eve of his concert as he is set to mark 25 years in the comedy industry.

He explained that DJ Messe Bontwe’s ancestral home is in Kabale where he will be laid to rest.

The Ugandan entertainment industry is in mourning following the death of Nicholas Mpiirwe Kamagala, popularly known as DJ Messe Bontwe.

The comedian and musician passed away in the United States, where he had been residing in pursuit of greener pastures.

Messe was a co-founder of the legendary Amarula Family comedy group, which he established in 1999 alongside Amooti Omubalanguzi and the late Paddy Bitama.

Before venturing into comedy, Messe was a talented singer in the ‘Hommies Band’ (Abaana be Kka). He gained fame in 1995 with the hit song Bamusakata, a collaboration with the renowned Ragga Dee.

News of his death was confirmed by fellow Ugandans living in America.

May his soul rest in peace!
