Celebrity scandals are timeless. Few are immune to them, for long. They range from law-breaking behaviour like the recent display of a personalised Uganda 50,000 Shillings to personal issues spilling all over media channels.

Celebrities and people who have been involved in scandals within a week of the new year.

Mathias Walukagga

Sir Mathias Walukagga faced the wrath of his fans for his song "Hani Hani".

Some fans asked him to apologise to the nation for releasing a song that they consider an insult to his music and his fans.

The song features Walukagga serenading a young lady with a cross between Luganda and English. A cocktail that has been the butt of jokes about the song.

Samson Kasumba

The TV news anchor was caught in an online exchange between local TV presenter Kayz Kawalya and Media personality Sheila Gashumba.

Kasumba thought he was coming to the rescue but instead received a beaten down from Gashumba's father, Frank Gashumba.

This escalated in a wealth display contest and Kasumba might have started a music career out of it.

Kato Lubwama

Former legislator and local performer lost his cool during a debate and attempted to kick local events promoter Bajjo.

The show, which was centered around a list showing artists and their booking fees, escalated in name-calling and a host turned referee.

Bebe Cool

His self-proclaimed list of best performing artists is a staple for the new year scandals. This time, he pledged rewards for winners. King Saha, despite having a strained relationship with the musician, said he would scoop all his rewards because of how good a singer he is.
