  42. <p>A document circulated last week suggesting the postponement of the B2C concert slated for May 10, but Enock Katete, the group&#8217;s manager, dismissed it as fraudulent.</p>
  43.  
  44.  
  45.  
  46. <p>&#8220;We&#8217;re proceeding with the concert. It&#8217;s on, and nothing can halt it. The circulating poster is mere blackmail, but we won&#8217;t be swayed,&#8221; Enock said.</p>
  47.  
  48.  
  49.  
  50. <p>Nonetheless, the group has confirmed the concert&#8217;s rescheduling, with a new date pending announcement.</p>
  51.  
  52.  
  53.  
  54. <p>&#8220;To our esteemed fans, it&#8217;s with deep regret that we announce the postponement of our May 10 concert. We&#8217;ll communicate the new date soon,&#8221; the management shared.</p>
  55.  
  56.  
  57.  
  58. <p>On May 10, Mbarara-based artist Ray G plans a concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval, possibly contributing to the trio&#8217;s decision to postpone.</p>
  59.  
  60.  
  61.  
  62. <p>Previously, the trio clashed with <a href="https://lifestyleuganda.com/juliana-kanyomozi-5-things-everyone-must-know-about-her/">Juliana Kanyomozi</a> and Tarrus Riley over concert dates, yet both events proved successful.</p>

  85. <p>Two days ago, Joint Intelligence Forces verified another infiltration by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), resulting in attacks and fatalities among Ugandans. Col. Deo Akiiki, Deputy Defence Spokesperson, disclosed that the group, likely led by notorious ADF commander Ahamed Muhamood Hasssan (also known as Abu Waqas), includes individuals such as Muhammed Issa, Amigo Kibirige (aka Simba), Muhamad Lumisa, and Nasser Hamid Diiru.</p>
  86.  
  87.  
  88.  
  89. <p>ā€œThe group was destroyed and operations have further scattered the ADF elements into the jungles of DRC.ā€ </p>
  90.  
  91.  
  92.  
  93. <p>ā€œThese revenge acts of terrorism were occasioned by sustained joint operations of UPDF and FARDC (Armed Forces of the DRC) under Operation Shujaa and strategic airstrikes unleashed to ADF and their hideouts in areas of in Eastern DRC in general areas of Irumu, Mambasa and later in Komanda about 146 Kms from our common border with DRC.ā€ he added.</p>
  94.  
  95.  
  96.  
  97. <p>In October 2023, ten ADF terrorists, under the command of Kamusi and Njovu, infiltrated through Kasese district, perpetrating various atrocities, including attacks on tourists and students at Lhubiriha Secondary School. UPDF reported the group&#8217;s subsequent activities in Kamwenge district, where Kamusi was killed, and Njovu was captured and is now undergoing trial.</p>
  98.  
  99.  
  100.  
  101. <p>Col. Akiiki stated that joint operations of UPDF and FARDC under Operation Shujaa, along with strategic airstrikes, have disrupted ADF activities in Eastern DRC. Despite this, he assured Ugandans of heightened security measures.</p>
  102.  
  103.  
  104.  
  105. <p>He emphasized that ADF&#8217;s retaliatory actions stemmed from their weakened state in DRC&#8217;s Kamanda region, prompting them to target civilians far from the joint operation zones. Warning of potential urban attacks, Col. Akiiki urged vigilance and cooperation from the public in identifying and reporting suspicious activities to mitigate ADF threats.</p>
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. <p>ā€œThe public is therefore informed that ADF still harbors the intention of sending terror groups in Uganda especially urban areas, places of worship, schools and public gatherings to cause mayhem.&#8221; </p>
  110.  
  111.  
  112.  
  113. <p>&#8221;We call upon all citizens to be vigilant, identify and report any suspicious individuals or packages to avoid being victims of ADF terror as we catch up with this group.ā€</p>

  238. <p>Football&#8217;s most infamous red card occurred during the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final between France and Italy. With the match finely poised in extra time, French talisman Zinedine Zidane inexplicably headbutted Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the chest, resulting in an immediate red card. The incident not only cost France their chance of winning the World Cup but also tarnished Zidane&#8217;s reputation as one of the game&#8217;s greatest players.</p>

Beckham&#8217;s dismissal left England with 10 men and contributed to their eventual elimination from the tournament. The incident sparked widespread backlash in England, with Beckham becoming a scapegoat for the team&#8217;s failure.</p>

  258. <p>In a fiercely contested UEFA Champions League match between Manchester United and Juventus in 1999, Irish midfielder Roy Keane committed a reckless foul on Juventus midfielder Zinedine Zidane, earning himself a red card. Despite being down to 10 men, <a href="https://lifestyleuganda.com/jose-mourinho-has-been-sacked-by-manchester-united/">Manchester United</a> won the match and ultimately lifted the Champions League trophy that season. Keane&#8217;s red card epitomized his combative playing style but also highlighted his tendency to push the boundaries of discipline on the pitch.</p>

  268. <p>During the 2010 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match between Uruguay and Ghana, Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez committed one of the most infamous acts of deception in football history. With the game tied in the dying seconds of extra time, Suarez deliberately handled the ball on the goal line, denying Ghana a clear goal-scoring opportunity. While Suarez received a red card for his actions, Ghana missed the subsequent penalty, and Uruguay ultimately won the match on penalties. Suarez&#8217;s actions sparked outrage and condemnation worldwide, cementing his reputation as a controversial figure in football.</p>

Cantona was subsequently sent off and handed a lengthy suspension by the Football Association. The incident tarnished Cantona&#8217;s reputation and highlighted the intense pressure and scrutiny that footballers face both on and off the pitch.</p>

  530.  
  531.  
  532.  
  533. <p>But she&#8217;s more than just a singer &#8211; recently, she kicked off a personal diary series called Filahā€™s Thoughts, Songs and Everything Right or Wrongā€¦ With Society. It&#8217;s like a peek into her creative mind, sprinkled with teasers of her songs.</p>
  534.  
  535.  
  536.  
  537. <p>Growing up, Filah&#8217;s dad made sure she soaked in the tunes of legends like Nina Simone, Marvin Gaye, Betty Wright, and Smokey Robinson. Music was in her blood.</p>
  538.  
  539.  
  540.  
  541. <p>Even with a law degree on the horizon, Filah couldn&#8217;t shake her passion for music. In 2019, she dropped her debut single &#8216;Feels Like&#8217;, blending jazz vibes with &#8217;90s hip hop beats. For her, it&#8217;s all about being true to herself and chasing happiness.</p>
  542.  
  543.  
  544.  
  545. <p>Now, she&#8217;s got fans hyped for her new visual gem &#8216;On Air&#8217;. But before that drops, she&#8217;s giving us a taste of her soulful side with &#8216;Call Me&#8217;, a single that&#8217;s like a journey of self-discovery wrapped in smooth R&amp;B with a pop twist.</p>
  546.  
  547.  
  548.  
  549. <p>&#8216;Call Me&#8217; is just a sneak peek of what&#8217;s to come on her upcoming album, On Air. And if you&#8217;re curious, she&#8217;s got other tracks like &#8216;Sheā€™s Got to Go (Intro)&#8217; and ā€˜Change or Find Outā€™ waiting in the wings.</p>

  745. <p><strong>Ugandan musician A Pass</strong>, born Alexander Bagonza, <strong>recently dropped his latest album &#8216;BAGONZA,&#8217; </strong>available for streaming and download across major digital platforms. This marks a decade in the industry for the versatile artist, who is a singer, songwriter, and producer.</p>
  746.  
  747.  
  748.  
  749. <p>The album, comprising 42 tracks, delves into diverse aspects of love, including unrequited love, lust, infatuation, and various emotions like regret and self-belief. A Pass showcased the album at a listening party on January 30 at The Villa in Bukoto, attended by media personalities, fans, fellow artists, and producers.</p>
  750.  
  751.  
  752.  
  753. <p>&#8216;BAGONZA&#8217; is a reflection of A Pass&#8217;s authenticity and is inspired by the powerful theme of love. Initially conceived as a bedroom album, it evolved into a broader exploration of love&#8217;s facets.</p>
  754.  
  755.  
  756.  
  757. <p>The project faced challenges, with a total of 100 recorded songs, later narrowed down to 42. Noteworthy tracks include &#8216;LIKE RONALDO,&#8217; expressing admiration for the hard work of the former Real Madrid striker, and &#8216;TRUE STORY,&#8217; narrating a brief, impactful relationship.</p>
  758.  
  759.  
  760.  
  761. <p>Another standout is <strong>&#8216;TURN ME ON&#8217; or &#8220;DAD&#8217;s SONG,&#8221;</strong> recorded during a vulnerable time when A Pass&#8217;s father was hospitalized. &#8216;BAD AND BAD&#8217; was created right after his sister and manager&#8217;s wedding, and &#8216;I WISH&#8217; reflects on regret in relationships.</p>
  762.  
  763.  
  764.  
  765. <p><strong>Collaborations like &#8216;TOUCH YOU DOWN&#8217; with Ceee and &#8216;I SEE YOU&#8217;</strong> with Akeine bring a unique flavor to the album. &#8216;MY DREAM&#8217; explores unrequited love, akin to &#8216;NKAABA&#8217; from AFRICAN YAYo.</p>
  766.  
  767.  
  768.  
  769. <p>&#8216;NAKUPENDA,&#8217; meaning &#8216;I Love You&#8217; in Swahili, is the oldest track on the album, initially intended for A Pass&#8217;s first album in 2016. The artist emphasized the importance of releasing quality, timeless music.</p>
  770.  
  771.  
  772.  
  773. <p>Acknowledging the album&#8217;s extensive production, A Pass credited Baru Beatz and visual artist Hatmax, encouraging fellow artists to embrace digital art for album covers. The listening party concluded with an auction of past album artwork and a performance with the JANZI BAND.</p>
  774.  
  775.  
  776.  
  777. <p>&#8216;BAGONZA&#8217; is now available for listening.</p>

  865. <p><strong>Ugandan dancehall sensation Beenie Gunter</strong>, real name Crescent Baguma, is currently in custody in Abu Dhabi after being <strong>arrested in Dubai on Sunday</strong>.</p>
  866.  
  867.  
  868.  
  869. <p>The Tubayo singer, who had been in the UAE for a few weeks, reportedly got caught up in a scuffle with event promoters in Abu Dhabi on January 8, 2024.</p>
  870.  
  871.  
  872.  
  873. <p>Trouble began after a disagreement between two promoters following his Dubai performance. Trying to play peacemaker, Beenie Gunter ended up on the receiving end of a beating.</p>
  874.  
  875.  
  876.  
  877. <p>The chaos didn&#8217;t escape authorities&#8217; notice, and the bar where the fight occurred suffered property damage. On his way back to Uganda with his son&#8217;s mother, Nickie Berry, via a Dubai airport, Beenie Gunter was arrested and later transferred to Abu Dhabi.</p>
  878.  
  879.  
  880.  
  881. <p>Currently under investigation, all parties involved are expected to cover the damages to the venue.</p>
  882.  
  883.  
  884.  
  885. <p>Beenie Gunter&#8217;s supporters have launched a social media campaign urging his release so he can return home. Nickie Berry, who had to travel back to Uganda alone, is tirelessly working to secure her partner&#8217;s freedom.</p>
  886.  
  887.  
  888.  
  889. <p>According to Nickie, the arrest took place at the Dubai airport, where Beenie Gunter was asked to cover the damages resulting from the brawl at his show. The scuffle originated between promoters from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with the latter allegedly hiring disruptors who caused chaos and significant damage.</p>
  890.  
  891.  
  892.  
  893. <p>&#8220;Beenie Gunter wasnā€™t fighting. He came in as a mediator to calm the storm and was also beaten up by the goons,&#8221; explained Nickie.</p>
  894.  
  895.  
  896.  
  897. <p>UNMF President Eddy Kenzo is leading efforts to secure Beenie Gunter&#8217;s release and return to Uganda. A wave of support from fellow artists, including Rickman, Lydia Jazmine, and Spice Diana, is fueling the <strong>&#8216;#FreeBeenieGunter&#8217; campaign</strong> on social media.</p>
