Carol Nantongo says 'yes' to Mesach Semakula's son

Singer Carol Nantongo has announced her engagement to Dylann Delan, the son of legendary crooner Mesach Semakula.

She shared their engagement photos on X on November 20, 2025, writing: “I SAID YES TO MY BEST FRIEND ❤️… Love, marriage, and commitment are rare treasures… You are my forever gift.”

Her post drew mixed reactions, with some users pointing out the age gap.

“The boy is young. Congratulations anyway,” one user wrote.

Another added: “Age is a number, doctor.”

One commenter criticised the pictures, saying: “These are the photos Pastor Sandra talks about. If you can’t show your husband clearly and only show his hand, you’re single.”

Carol Nantongo grew up in Kyaliwajjala, Namugongo. She started singing in church and at school.

After Senior Four, financial challenges forced her to study hairdressing.

While in training, someone encouraged her to join Coca-Cola Rated Next. She did not win, but a lady who spotted her talent connected her to Golden Band.

At Golden Band, she impressed Catherine Kusasira, who linked her to KT Events. KT later introduced her to songwriter Judas.

His first song for her was Nsinka, and KT funded the production.

Nantongo has since released several popular songs and worked with artistes such as Eddie Yawe, Kampala Boys and Sheebah Karungi.
