According to reports, Recho Rey might be in trouble with authorities as this action seems to have legal implications.
The photo that has since been deleted from her page portrays her bending in a compromising twerking pose on the Shs50k Uganda currency note.
Another photo with the face of the rapper printed on the front of the note was posted but later deleted.
The photos have since attracted divergent opinions from the public with several citizens not happy with her for disrespecting the currency.
Others want the “Who is She” rapper to be brought to book for altering the look for a national bank note, which they claim is not inly illegal but also distasteful.
In a report seen by this reporter, it was declared in 2019 during the Presidential political campaigns, the Bank of Uganda warned that tampering with the currency notes is illegal and attracts dire consequences.
“Bank of Uganda (BoU) is by law the only authority that can issue currency in Uganda and that includes the power to determine the features that can appear on any currency note or coin,” a statement from BOU revealed.
“The public is therefore, strongly warned against the use of currency notes for any other purpose other than for making or receiving payment (s), and the public is also advised to accept only those notes that bear features as designed by Bank of Uganda.”
“Individuals involved in the defacing, and/or those accepting defaced notes, risk losing the value of their Banknotes.”
However, Recho Rey has since blamed hackers for the misdemeanor.
“Hey, guys my account is restored now. It was hacked by some hacker,” she posted on her Instagram.
Nevertheless, this move could have been in the event that that critics and other netizens, were not impressed by her gesture.
