Sheila Gashumba praises Anita Among’s sense of fashion

• Sheila Gashumba praised Anita Among’s wardrobe, car collection and Kigo house.

• Gashumba said Among has class, even as she noted that her style had brought her “hot problems.”

• Among’s expensive fashion choices have fed public debate during the ongoing corruption probe.

Digital influencer, media personality and DJ Sheila Carol Gashumba has praised former Speaker Anita Among’s taste in fashion, even as the former head of Parliament faces a widening corruption and illicit enrichment probe.

Gashumba said last night that many people have money but lack class, and that Among stands out for her wardrobe, cars and home design.

“Everything aside!! Soo many people have money but no class! @AnitahAmong has class! I would steal her wardrobe and her car collection, mostly that maybach! That kigo morden open house is 100/100!” Gashumba wrote.

She added that “being too classy landed her in HOT PROBLEMS,” before saying she wanted Among’s personal shopper, stylist and the architect behind her Kigo house.

Gashumba’s comments come at a sensitive time for Among. Her costly fashion choices and lifestyle have drawn public attention during the ongoing investigations into alleged corruption, illicit enrichment and money laundering. 

Security personnel have raided homes linked to Among in Kampala suburbs including Nakasero, Ntinda and Kigo, as investigators searched for documents and other material evidence. 

Among’s expensive attire became one of the triggers of the ongoing probe when during President Museveni’s inauguration at Kololo on May 12, 2026, she wore a designer dress from  Oscar de la Renta valued at more than $10,000.

Gashumba, however, says all that notwithstanding, she was inspired by the former speaker’s classy taste.

Fashion remains a central part of Ms Gashumba’s public identity. 

Her public commentary on her attire generally revolves around defending her creative freedom against public scrutiny and explaining her approach to dressing.

Gashumba is well-known for pushing boundaries with bold, Western-influenced, and sometimes see-through or skimpy outfits, which frequently spark intense debate in conservative Ugandan social circles.
