"About two to three years ago, this man [Mark] Zuckerberg removed me from Facebook," claimed Figure in an interview.
Figure, who advises President Museveni on ghetto issues, continued:
"When he did that, I called the president and told him my account has been banned from Facebook."
"And he said, oh, my daughter, you've been removed, let everyone get off the platform. He banned it."

Museveni banned Facebook in January 2021, after the social media giant deleted a slew of accounts affiliated to the government. Facebook claimed they were being used to manipulate public debate ahead of that year's general elections.
During his 2021 presidential campaign, Museveni, who is the chairman of the ruling National Resistance Movement (N.R.M.) political party, appointed Full Figure as presidential advisor and also tasked her to help with support mobilisation.
Though Facebook was banned, people have continued to access the platform using use Vitrual Private Networks, also known as VPNs.
Full Figure, who is a musician by profession, was born Jennifer Namutebi Nakanguubi.
She currently also dabbles in social commentary, and she's been hosting a show on Salt TV, where she was reportedly ejected with the influence of the Uganda Communications Commission because of crass language.
She co-hosted the talk show dubbed Omusunsuzi alongside Robert Mutebi and Charles James Ssenkubuge.
Her song Mukyale which rocked the Uganda music industry in the early 2000s made her a popular figure (no pun intended) in the music industry.
According to reports, she started as a maize roaster at the age of 13, later became a housemaid, and eventually worked at the home of Ugandan musician Geoffrey Lutaaya and Irene Namatovu before joining the home of Catherine Kusasira.
She has said she got her name Full Figure from Geoffrey Lutaaya.
Eventually, she got a gig with Eagles Production as a labourer.
Then she was fired as the band wanted to cut costs and pitched her interest in singing to Chance Nalubega.
Later, she met Travis Kazibwe, alias Dr. Tee, who was producing for Kasiwukira Studios and they recorded her first song with Nalubega titled Mukyakale.
Full Figure would later remix the song with Pallaso.
