Following the music list, some fire has been boiling water between Bebe Cool and Eddy Kenzo. We want to catch it while it is still hot. Let us see which of the two artists stands on top.
BEBE COOL
Bebe Cool
Looks :Bebe Cool is indeed a hunk. His pretty boy face is very attractive, and we can tell that the dude works out too. His arms are the size of that of a super hero. He has a great sense of fashion, and his height is appealing too. Besides, he just won a fashion award with ASFA2017 recently.
Wife: Zuena Kirema. A woman whose beauty has been mentioned more than a million times. She runs her own business, and decorates wedding ceremonies with beauty and tasty cakes. We can say Bebe Cool indeed has a lovely wife.

Wife: Rema Namakula. A beautiful songbird that puts her daughters before anything. Rema has done many love songs in the country and she is the flower that colors many introduction ceremonies in the country, with her beautiful voice. Eddy Kenzo indeed made quite a choice.

We will let you do the assessment. Who is the greatest artist of all?
Singer Eddy Kenzo has reignited his beef with fellow singer Bebe Cool.
Kenzo claims that “bba wa zuena’s” music is irrelevant and stagnant like water.
He said all this while appearing on Galaxy Fm during a gossip show, “Pokopoko” hosted by Jonathan Nalebo.
When he was asked his opinion on the list of the best entertainers in 2017 that was shared by Bebe Cool, he said,” “If Bebe Cool thinks he is big, let him sing that “Mbozi Za Malwa” song in Guinea and see if he has fans there. No one will follow him.”
Furious Kenzo added, “That will show him that his music is stagnant like water.”
Eddie Kenzo also advised Bebe Cool to grow up and concentrate on building the Industry. He asked him to emulate Nigerian artistes like Don Jazy and Dbanj, David and Wizkid who recently made Peace in order build their industry.
Aamal Musuuza, daughter to Eddy Kenzo and Rema was filled with love from both n parents on her birthday. Besides the wonderful message that her father posted on Social media, her mum took her birthday party to the Red women foundation.
Aamals amazing photo shoot with her mum
Rema first had a photo shoot with her baby, dressed in same African print, and showing their deep connection in every shoot. She also explained her feelings for her daughter in a simple post;
As others where busy unwrapping their gifts and presents on boxing day,I was unwrapping mine too in the labour ward and my life has never been the same since then. You are more than wat I asked for my baby .No therapy better than you. Your smile makes me feel like I can fly. Your voice that echoes life into my soul every single day.

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.
It was Aamal Musuuza’s birthday and both her parents where totally excited. They posted beautiful photo’s of the princess on social media, and tagged it to very lovely posts. This beautiful baby is a daughter to Award Winning Ugandan Musician, Eddy Kenzo, and his beautiful wife, also a song bird, Rema Namakula.
She was born on 26th December 2014 to the lovely couple, and is indeed a wonderful present for Christmas day. The chubby pretty princess is loved dearly by both her parents, and step sister, who was from Eddy Kenzo’s previous relationship. We know that Aamal loves to take beautiful pictures with her mum, and the two are often seen twinning on social media.

BET award winner, Eddie Kenzo has been banned from appearing on NTV and its sister television, Spark TV.
On Thursday afternoon, when Kenzo appeared on The Beat show he apparently got into it with the producer of the show.
When the management of the Station git to know about the unfortunate happening, they concluded to indefinitely suspense all appearance and music of Kenzo on their forums.

In other news
He has allegedly promised to beat up Kasuku of Dembe fm and Tina Fierce of Urban TV’s scoop on scoop.
BET Award winning star Eddy Kenzo held his concert at Jahazi Pier in Munyonyo this weekend. Being the internationally acclaimed star that he is, we at least expected him to fill up the small venue but this was not the case.
Just like his counterpart Pallaso, Kenzo had very noticeable empty seats only filled by his friends and family. The empty VIP red plastic chairs could be seen from space which prompted organizers to ask some people in the General audience to fill some of the empty seats.
By the time Kenzo started performing, many of the seats were not filled. He got on stage in a winter coat, hat and pull-neck black shirt that one would think he lost his way from he streets of Brooklyn.
He treated his fans to a live performance however some say this was not a smart move given the type of audience he has. However, fellow artists like Catherine Kusasira, Moreen Nantume and APass came out to support their collegue.
Akatalekeka; Eddy Kenzo show
Hellen lukoma stole the show when she curtain raised for kenzo. She wore a micro mini white dress and danced erotically like she was high on something. She left many amused.

Smooth and sensational. This song took Rema to the top being played and performed at every kwanjula and wedding ceremony. Well done.
The media is one of the fastest ways that stories, rumors and information can spread. They are however in the wrong books of Eddy Kenzo this time. According to our various sources, Eddy Kenzo has come out and told the public that his breakup with Rema was just a rumor from the public.
Apparently, he is still with the beautiful and elegant songbird/ mother of his child Rema Namakula. Eddy Kenzo reportedly mentioned during a press conference on Wednesday that they are still a couple.
“People write stories without calling me to clarify on anything . Unprofessional journalists are the reason our music industry is lagging.”
Eddy Kenzo and Rema’s family
Eddy Kenzo, the award winning Ugandan artiste is right, as journalists can either make or break a person. It is however great news that the two are still together as a loving family. They have two beautiful children, one from a former wife. Rema loves the two children like a mother would.
Rumors have been going on ever since the two started dating. some saying he was going to marry her, and others contradicting that. Many have also claimed that Eddy Kenzo has abandoned Rema and the two were on the verge of breaking. Many fail to confirm whether the rumors are true, before spreading it to the public.
It is amazing news that the two are still together. Big thanks to Howwe Biz Uganda for this infomation. Eddy Kenzo and Rema, Ghafla wishes you the best.
