Several reports have been conveyed about the cause of her alleged sacking. But Totto appeared to rubbish the information being spread about her through posts shared on social media.

On Facebook and Instagram, she posted: "Dogs were fed with false information to shade my name and they all came out barking! Y’all sound so pathetic! You didn’t make me, you will not break me! But anyway, if you don’t talk about Zahara Totto who will know about your existence???"

Replying to the Instagram post, singer Zex Bilangilangi posted: "❤❤❤"

Aly Allibhai, the chief executive of Talent Africa, commented: "🔥"

Meanwhile, most reports indicate that Zahara Totto had become undisciplined, citing a recent incident where she was kicked off a live show because of being drunk and this led to a suspension.

Totto had also recently said she had plans to quit television because of her busy schedule that includes, among others acting, deejaying, school, and parenting.

Zahara Totto joined media at the age of seven, starting with anchoring kids' news at the now-defunct WBS TV. She took a break the gig after joining boarding school and returned to work with T Nation at NTV.

At one point she belonged to on all-girl group dubbed Chilli Galz, which had dancers and singers in Mariam Nabaccwa (Kabs), Sheila Uzamukunda (Shyla), Zahara Toto, Peace Ayebale Charity (P-Tyra), and Yvonne Karuyonga (Ivy).

Before joining it she had had stints at Maisha Dancers and Obsessions. After quitting singing, she also reportedly had gigs in marketing bars before joining Spark TV where she got immense eyeballs after teaming up with Anna Talia Oze to give entertainment gossip updates.

In 2018, the duo joined NBS and Totto also scored a hosting gig at Next Radio, which is also under Next Media, the company that owns NBS TV. Recently, she has been dabbling in deejaying.

The self-proclaimed Field Marshal Entertainer, according to publicly available information, completed her primary education at Kibuli Police Children School, then joined Muyenga High School and completed her 'O' level at Kisubi High School.

She was in senior four when she landed a gig to work with NTV Uganda to host T-Nation, a teen-facing show that she reportedly resigned from after becoming pregnant.

She returned to the media in 2015 after Spark TV, a sister company to NTV – was launched to entertain the female audience and she was given a show called Live Wire, the gossip show she co-hosted for three years.
