burial Ivan ‘Don’ Ssemwanga, a flashy Uganda tycoon and former husband of Zari Hassan (current wife of popular Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz), is making headlines even in his death. His cronies poured out money into his coffin and he was buried with it, leaving Uganda and the world talking. A concerned citizen, Abey Mgugu, has dragged A-Plus funeral management and Bank of Uganda to the High Court seeking orders that the body of late Ivan Ssemwanga be exhumed and all the currency notes that were buried with him removed. Mgugu argues that the purposes of the said monies put into the grave were misused. “Burying a dead body with money is a wastage of public property which violates social and economic rights of other people,” he argued. Mgungu wants an order that the said money be put back into circulation for purposes of respecting the currency of Uganda and other countries like South Africa and the United States of America. Mgugu wants a declaration that Bank of Uganda willfully and negligently failed to ensure the respect of the said currencies and is also seeking a declaration that he be allowed to recover the money from the grave on behalf of Ugandans. On Tuesday this week at Nakaliro village in Kayunga, socialites of the so called Rich Gang team, were seen throwing money into their colleague Ivan Ssemwanga’s grave, an act for which Mgugu seeks general damages. Ivan Ssemwanga,39, died on Wednesday May 25, 2017 at Steve Biko Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa where he was based. Semwanga was one of the members of the self styled Rich Gang group well known in both South Africa and Uganda. Ssemwanga had three boys with Zari. She is now in a relationship with Tanzanian celebrated musician Diamond Platnumz.]]>

JZyNo had a mouthful for Ruger following the latter’s insinuation about the success of his viral song ‘Butta My Bread,’ featuring Lasmid.

The Liberian star’s response comes after the Nigerian singer took a jab at him in episode 10 of the Zero Conditions podcast in September titled “Born to Rule.” Ruger had no qualms in undermining the quality and effort behind JZyNo’s flagship song, casually saying: “Now if you want to blow, you go blow by mistake. Na by mistake dem dey blow. There’s– It’s not intentional anymore. You could just say your [song] blow on TikTok,” before proceeding to sing a snippet of the song and concluding, “Then, you don turn artist be that.”

In a personal video addressed to his fans, JZyNo hit back at Ruger, calling the ‘Asiwaju’ hitmaker’s comments disrespectful, amid other factual statements meant to expose Ruger’s snide remarks. “You know very well every artist put in work to get to somewhere, every artist. Not talking about JZyNo, who has been doing this for years,” the ‘Butta My Bread’ star said. He added: “The statement that Ruger made, for me, it’s disrespectful to me and my team and my fans, Dancegod Lloyd who did the challenge, the artist that I featured, Lasmid. And in fact, the entire Liberia and Ghana industry.”

It is uncertain if this will be the start of a feud between the two artists moving forward. Meanwhile, ‘Butta My Bread’ still boasts a strong presence on charts across the continent, having amassed over 100M streams since its release in April. The song has become one of 2023’s top hits, putting JZyNo at the vanguard of Afrobeats and his critics to shame. As he prepares to release his eagerly-awaited song with Camidoh ‘Eyes On You’ this week – following its postponement out of respect for the late Mohbad, JZyNo may be on the verge of delivering another indelible hit.

‘Eyes On You’ featuring Camidoh will arrive on all music platforms come October 6th. Don’t miss out.
