In a surprisingly candid moment that sent shockwaves through the entertainment scene, celebrated band singer Sophie Nantongo publicly declared she has no idea who Gloria Bugie is. Speaking during a lively interview on Spark TV, Nantongo looked genuinely puzzled when the interviewer mentioned Bugie’s name.
“Who is that one?” Sophie asked, raising an eyebrow. “With due respect, I haven’t heard about her name. Come again, who is she? I know Ava Peace,” she said, clearly emphasizing that while she keeps tabs on upcoming talent like Ava Peace, Gloria Bugie doesn’t ring any bells in her world.
The moment immediately sparked heated debates online, with fans questioning whether Gloria Bugie — famous more for her daring fashion choices and glamorous photoshoots than her musical catalog — has done enough musically to be recognized by industry veterans.
Despite being a hot topic on social media, Bugie’s fame seems heavily tied to her controversial image rather than chart-topping hits. Critics argue that she needs to “add more music to her face” if she’s to earn genuine respect in Uganda’s competitive music industry.
Meanwhile, Sophie Nantongo is herself making headlines with her highly anticipated concert at Serena Hotel Kampala scheduled for May 2, 2025. The event, expected to be a sellout, will reaffirm her position as one of the most consistent and respected voices in Ugandan music.
