Te Purple party has take a tour to as far as Jinja, Mbale, Mbarara and Hoima and is now ready to hold the final event this December, at Spenah Beach
Three weeks ago, we kept on trying to guess from the clues Sheila Gashumba kept leaving on her Social Media pages. We followed through, and now we know that the two have landed a hot gig. Both former presenters of NTV The Beat, these media personalities are going places. They will form part of the panel on the newly launched MSETO East Africa Awards.
“I can’t wait to be in Nairobi tomorrow for my second time this year!! Looks like there is soo much in that city for me to do this year!! Super excited for the big announcement on Friday June 22nd !! Keep glued to my social media accounts!!” Sheila shared earlier.
Gashumba ready for the big show
Sheila and fellow presenter, Douglas flew into the neighboring country for the big announcement last week. Together with them were artists, Fic Fameica and Vinka.

The MSETO awards will be a new opportunity created to build the entertainment industry in the region. Great job Team Uganda.
Africell Triple Data ambassadors, Sheila Gashumba and Fik Fameica seem to have things all falling in place. With their Africell contract still running, the duo have penned yet another ambassadorial deal with Development Channel, a social enterprise. Also, NBS TV’s Douglas Lwanga who enjoys several endorsements penned the deal.
The trio will be tasked to utilise their large social media following to spread awareness of the company’s activities including a phone branded ‘No drop out tablet’.
She shared the news to her fans stating; ”Deal signed with Development Channel No drop out tablet. I’m officially the brand ambassador of the No Drop Out Tablet made by Development Channel”.
We all know that Douglas Lwanga is the king of parties and events. From planning the whole thing, to funding it and then emceeing it. The purple party trend, that started a small thing has swept party animals from all over the country. This time, it is heading to Mbarara.
Mbarara town will receive the third edition of the purple party tour on 7th July. This came after the people from the land of milk and honey complained, and requested for a venue closer to the town, which would be more accessible. Douglas listened, and is splashing them with yet another great experience. The show will shut down Agip Motel.
How it goes down at the purple party
ARTISTS WHO WILL BE PRESENT
It is never a party without the music and the dance. Fille, Spice Diana, Nina Roz, Fefe Buusi. Bebe Cool, Allan Toniks, Latinum, Ray G, Mc Kats, Kacheche, Sheila Gashumba and many more, will be there to give you all entertainment like never before. Get your party Shoes ready!
They say your friends will all run away when you fall into a ditch. Could this be true? Singer Cute Kaye was caught stealing car headlights, and is currently having a hard time.Many people are saying this is shameful. It is also embarasing to them that a music star can fall to this level. Apparently, he may be struggling financially. Some rumors have started circulating that the singer is practicing drug use. Douglas Lwanga, TV presenter, and Purple party Major, has however come out and penned him an encouraging message.
Brian Kaye aka Cute Kaye gave his life to Christ
He posted;
I wont Judge you, Ill pray 4 u There s a reason why u have such a voice bro. If the world doesn’t believe in u anymore that should never make you hate ur self . Qute Kaye u still have a voice u still have talent. Don’t give up on ur self, May God guide you to the light again. Amen
It looks like TV presenter Douglas lwanga is not only a hot cake in Uganda but across East Africa. The latest on our desk is that Lwanga who is barely two months old at his new work station has been approached by TV stations in Kenya hunting for him.
The purple party bos is being sought for by kenya’s KTV and Kiss Tv who want him to cross over to Uhuru’s Land with promises to even triple his current pay. While many would run at the offer with open arms,Douglas has rejected the offer for now saying it is not yet time for him to move.
“True i have been approached by some stations through a friend but i have decided to stay. I have a family here and it would not make alot of sense moving them at a time when i am also still settling down.” he said. “Moving to Kenya would be like a starting all over again” he added.
Meanwhile at NBS he has not been identified for a permanent show besides co host After 5 with Kats
NTV the Beat may have lost Douglas Lwanga, but they are not going down any time soon. They are on the search to find the next big thing on National television. They called for different applcations for the next presenter of the show and we responded. The TV show has some great news for us. They mentioned;
“We set out to find the next best thing in this showbizness. We called for entries, you responded! And we are getting there. The next BEAT presenter!!! The search is finally down to the top 8. From a pool of over 50 applicants. We have selected the top 8 contestants. GET READY TO VOTE!
It’s the road to next Beat presenter.
FORMER NTV THE BEAT PRESENTERS
Sheila Gashumba is the current host of NTV The Bet
The show was previously hosted by multi talented, Sheila Gashumba, and Douglas Lwanga. Douglas however moved on to mint gold coins in NBS TV. He is now the host of a brand new show, which he does with Anita Fabiola, NBS katchup. Together with kats, they have also revamped NBS After5.
The participants featured as guest hosts on the show. However, it looks like NTV is out to get a permanent replacement for Douglas.
Will this person be better, as entertaining or less than Douglas Lwanga? Let us keep watching NTV and following The Beat on all platforms to find out.
After Douglas Lwanga left NTV, the void has not an easy to fill! To begin with, the Serana based station introduced Esco MC on NTV The Beat for a few days. Later on, Crysto Panda took the reins before he was joined Sheilah Gashumba. Well, many thought, the duo would do the job!
However, rumours making rounds indicates that event MC, Daggy Nyce will soon be unveiled as the host of the popular music show!
It seems to be getting real as other celebraties have started congratulating him.
“Proud to hear my brother Daggynyce is taking on @ntvthebeat @ntvuganda Great news ma G, Bless”, Maro posted on Facebook.
Side chick dilemma is as old as time it’s self. You will hear married women lamenting of the frustration with women who are “stealing ” their men. But it takes a tactical and unrelenting side chick to make her move to main chick. Here are a few examples.
Delilah Ssali
Magogo and his girlfriend sharing a moment
Known for long as the official side dish of FUFA president Moses Magogo, she became the main woman. She officially introduced Magogo to her parents late last year. Dellah would accompany the Fufa President to several events including the 2016 World Cup in Brazil. Before her, Magogo was married with three children before he got hitched to Dellah. However as a Muslim man so he still has two other slots.
DJ Karo
Cedric Babu’s marriage to Alison Gallagher the mother of his boys collapsed after DJ Karo (real name Carol Kisukye) emerged. Gallagher cried on social media calling Karo a home wrecker but Cedric and Karo ignored her antics making it official by visiting her parents in January.
Lindah Lisa
She was the side chick to Douglas Lwanga who married at a young age to an older woman. Well maybe she made him feel young again because as soon as the marriage collapsed she concieved. The two are now living happily with two children.
Douglas Lwanga is not having a good time at his new station, NBS TV.
The station has failed to create a show for him. According to sources, they are grappling with a set of different ideas but have still failed to zero down on one since there are just too many entertainment show hosts on the station.
Douglas Lwanga with his Co host on the NTV show, The Beat
Last week, he appeared alongside Fabiola on the new show, KatchUp and it was said he would work alongside her. Latest we gather is that he will be working alongside Kats on After 5.
There is also an effort to find him a spot over the weekend.
That is how much they are struggling to make him fit in.
Douglas moved from NTV recently where he allegedly wanted a pay rise. When he left, NBS quickly signed him. Maybe they didn’t think it through.
Dear Douglas Lwanga. Please let us go. We cannot keep up! Following his exit from NTV Uganda amidst rumors and gossip, this b talented presenter has caught another fish. He will be joining MC Kats on the show, NBS After 5.
NBS After5
MC Kats also left NTV Uganda for NBS some time back, and these two share Lot in common. They can both give you a show to die for. DJ Roja and DJ Mercy, who swam away from Record TV and WBS joined MC Kats some years back for the music show.
Its is a merry day for Douglas Lwanga, and he has joined the team
On the other hand, Douglas Lwanga also left NTV to join up with Anita fabiola on the trending sshow every Friday night; The Katchup. MC kats plus Douglas is going to bring yet anher type of food. The one you cannot keep away from.
The NBS After5 team welcomed the major on their social media page;
“We officially welcome Douglas Lwanga to the winning team. Let’s get this thing rolling”
And Douglas Lwanga posted, asking his fans whether they are ready for them. We are extremely excited about the combination, and cannot sit down. Lets get this mega show running.
What happens when you put two talented celebrities together? Two of the hottest, and amazing presenters of all time, came together to air an amazing show. Anita Fabiola, and Douglas Lwanga are doing it on NBS TV, and it is lit. The Katchup, their show premiered three days ago and left everyone in amazement.
The Katch up Team doing their thing
This month, Douglas, the former presenter of NTV the beat, cleared the rumor about having been fired from the TV station. We knew he was headed to NBS TV, but little did we know he was going there to spice things up in a new show. He teamed up with Fabiola, also a former NTV presenter, of the show “Be My Date”. They will also be joined by MC Isaac to deliver this amazing programme, the Katch up
Lwanga Douglas and his Co-host at NBS TV
THE PREMIERE OF THE SHOW
The show was alive, as many people turned up to form the live audience. It was aired at around 10pm for one and a half hours, and Douglas dropped a little of his purple party mix into the room. Ugandan Rapper, Mun G was also there to bring the house down. The curvaceous Fabiola then showed the fans how to party. The TV show has been trending since then, and do not miss new episodes every Friday, running until midnight.
Crowds attended the live show and could not help but party
Congratulations and great job on this new TV show. This could be the next big thing on National Television.
With all the beef going on around, Ugandan Music fans are getting split up, and being forced to make choices. Our NTV presenter, Douglas Lwanga is not keeping quiet. He wrote an open letter recently, for the artists.
OPEN LETTER
Greetings in the name of Ugandan Music. One love to all. Ill straight go into this.Remember its my OPINION but at the end i would like you to answer some questions!
WHY THE HATE?
——————————————
Many times we see artists not connecting with each other. There are so many reasons to this, some artists have valid reasons if we can judge some.. some we cant judge and some we will never know why
DOES HATE WORK?
———————————————
There was a time music was based so much on hatred amongst artists. The songs we danced to were mostly beef ? songs. This worked for some artists and made the industry vibrant.The standoff between Bebecool and Bobi Wine, Radio and weasel vs Chameleon plus so many more.
We remember songs like Mr Katala, Kasepiki, Ability, Kanywamusaayi, By Far, Cocidiosis these and many more i guess you recall. This music ruled the industry and event promoters created shows coined as Battles. Fans became supporters, The industry was like a battle field but like what happens all things come to an end. These artists reconciled and the industry moved away from this point.
IS HATE A STRATEGY TO PROMOTE MUSIC?
———————————————-
After a while we saw young artists start to create beef against the big dawgs of the industry so that media could talk about them and also to win the favor of fans. unfortunately the strategy never worked for them as the Top artists refused to answer back but as well the audiences and fans had learnt to separate music from words spoken against each other. In brief beef stopped pushing music and Beef songs became more and more unpopular.
THE CURRENT STANDOFF STARTING FROM BEBE COOLs LIST.
—————————————-
When i see all what’s happening to the industry that was so united by the end of December 2017 i ask myself the following questions.
1) If award ceremonies didn’t disunite the industry how can a list off an artist page get you guys dissing each other.
2) Should we bother with peoples opinions? As public figures and artists you know fans have opinions about you. Should their opinions matter?
Unless there deeper feelings involved in all this. I think the list is something we could all ignore and move on. Opinions will always come in from every angle but should we always be there to analyze and answer back? I think we should be busy with work and taking this industry further. We have alot to do as an industry seriously alot. We have to challenge the Nigerians, Kenyans, Tanzanians and the South African music markets. Lets get back to work work work please.
NOW THE FANS!
——————————————
Recently i hosted queen sheebah and a fan called in live onthe BEAT and abused Sheebah something that i found very unnecessary. Like i said above you have your opinion right? But help me answer these questions
1)If u dont like an artist do u need to abuse him or her?
2) what does an artist bum, nose, mouth have to do with what they sing unless u have a more personal reason to you hating them.
3) Do u have to go ahead call in on a Tv or radio station and abuse them? What satisfaction do u derive after？
Nwai like Bobiwine once said “Ebibuzo bingi ,Answer Ntono” Too many questions very few answers. So ill chill here wait for some reasonable answers.
2017 has been a great year, and many celebrities have stayed on top of news tabloids. Here is the list of all those that dominated our wolokoso this year.
Zari Hassan.
Zari the boss lady has gone through alot this year, and we hope 2018 will be a peaceful one for her. From the death of her ex husband and father of her children, to that of her beloved mother. She then had baby mama drama with her husband Diamond Platinumz and a successful Ciroc all white party. She thus had the highest media coverage this year.
Zari the boss lady
Eddy Kenzo
Eddy Kenzo did not shut up after winning an award at the BETs. Even the participation of the Ghetto kids at the award this year, had the tabloids still mention his name. His song Jubilation also consumed the entire country, and stopped him awards, some at AFRIMA2017. This also followed by some rumors about the drama between him and his wife.
Eddy Kenzo
Bobi Wine
The ability to hold two personalities at the same time, one as an MP and the other as an entertainer has made Robert Kyagulanyi a major headline this year. Besides his music, his political ideology surprised many of his fans, and the major support he had from the Ghetto scared his enemies. His children also got a few gigs here and there that got the tabloids writing about him over and over again.
Bobi Wine
Douglas Lwanga
Believe it or not, Douglas has had a great year. His purple party is first of all a he add liner that many wait for. This yet he had amazing news from Yuppyz Clothing, to God Father EAST Africa, and finallu, the awards that he scooped. The NTV presenter has had some media time this year.
Douglas Lwanga
Ykee Benda
There is a way this Kireka Boy just produces hits that whisk the girls away. His former hits are still favourites at many clubs, and he went on to please his fans with more and more music. Ykee Benda also made a wonderful performance at the Coke Studio that had alot of people on the media talking.
The purple beach party organized by NTV’s Douglas Lwanga made a statement on the party scene this weekend.
The party took place at Spenah beach and the Venue was filled to capacity and over flowed by 4pm. Douglas got a great array of talent including Vinka, Kabako, Latinum and big size Bebe Cool who made the crowd go wild when stepped in stage.
He dubbed, danced and sang to the dancers bums all through the performance. Kabako put up and energetic performance and so did the fresh fik fameica.
Douglas Lwanga is currently on cloud 9 after reaped big from the party.
Ugandan football superstar Emma Okwi has welcomed a Baby girl with Wife Florence Nakalegga. The couple Married last year in a lavish ceremony and this is one of their best achievements by far.
