Watch Pinky cozying up to Ykee Benda

The duo met at the 2022 Hipipo Music Awards, which were held on November 18 at Kampala Serena Hotel.

In the video, Pinky wraps her hands around Benda's neck and he lifts her as she says, "I'll take you, haha. I will take you."

Ykee Benda later says: "Good to see you around."

Pinky: "Good to see you, too. Oh my God!"

The awards are held annually to recognise people playing pivotal roles in uplifting the African music industry.

The function was attended by other musicians, including Bebe Cool, Naava Gray, Kenneth Mugabi, Afande Miah and Police, Eli Bulamu, Zulanda, Saint Nellysade and crew (Syfas and Drumbox cappella beats) and Raa 256.

Pinky herself won the Breakthrough Artist gong. Meanwhile, she is said to have been fired from Team No Sleep, the record label managed by Jeff Kiwanuka.

Kiwanuka, also known as Jeff Kiwa, took on Pinky in December of 2021 after Sheebah Karungi whom he had managed for close to a decade left the label.

Both parties haven't come out to confirm the reports, but she was allegedly fired over indiscipline.

Born in Kawempe, a division of Kampala, the petite songbird attended Lugoba Parents Nursery & Primary School, before joining Kibibi Secondary School for her 'O' Level and then London College School, Nansana for 'A' Level education.

After that, she went to the International University of East Africa.

While she started singing while primary school, her professional music career started in 2019 with her first song Tukooye, which was recorded at Badman Records.
