“How did I connect with Alien Skin? This has been the biggest troll of all times on my platform. I won’t say on TikTok because that’s an understatement, but on my platform. We did have a political party, which is NUP. NUP was against Alien Skin because he was taking over the Kibanda position; he was taking over Bobi Wine,” she explains.

“People had embraced him; people loved him so much so NUP was against that. They were fighting him so much, abusing him and all sorts of silly things. So, for me, I was just scrolling on TikTok and I saw this guy and I was like, who is this guy (that was Alien Skin)? Why are they trolling him everywhere you go? Like on the For You page of TikTok especially, it was him”
Defending Alien Skin
After GenerationsOfficial saw the mistreatment Alien Skin was subjected to, she decided to stand in his corner and battle with the trolls.
“So I sat down and I am one person, by the way, who sees someone being trolled because of the bad they’ve done or they’ve committed a crime or something and I come and be on your side. So all the people I have talked about, especially musicians, for example Bruno K, that’s how we started. That when people come in and they are trolling you, I am going to be on your side. I will find something very small and I will build a submission on that,” says GenerationsOfficial.
“So that is how I started talking about Alien Skin and slowly, as I was doing my content, I realized that the people actually loved me talking about him (Alien Skin), the type of content I was doing, defending him and telling people the goodness in him, how amazing he was and all that. So slowly people started connecting me to him and that was before I came to Uganda for my holidays. So when I came back to Uganda for my holidays, I met him and we did a video and now that was a very big deal. Social media was on fire.”
Confusion and pandemonium
“Of all people…why him? He’s a dirty whatever, he doesn’t brush and you are a woman of class, you’re educated, we believed in you. You have disappointed us because he’s Ghetto and you are this and that. And social media had branded me again, this Malaya (prostitute) for some reason and they would come with propaganda that I lived in Malaysia, a place I had never been to. That was in May. So, they abused me for two months, around the clock. That also brought in numbers because people were asking themselves; we have had Alien Skin with so many people, why are you trolling her? That brought so much controversy, up to now,’ reveals GenerationsOfficial.
