Uganda’s entertainment world has been thrown into chaos after President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni spilled what many are calling the hottest celebrity secret of the year.
While attending the glamorous launch of Yoweri, a music album powered by Eddy Kenzo and the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF), the President casually dropped a bombshell: Eddy Kenzo is the son of the late Chief of Defence Forces, Eriya Mwine — famously known as Chief Ali.
The crowd at Speke Resort Munyonyo froze. Gasps. Murmurs. Even a few shocked screams. For years, Kenzo’s fans knew him as the “street boy who made it big,” but Museveni’s revelation has now tied him to one of Uganda’s most powerful military names.
“Eddy Kenzo is the son of a soldier,” Museveni declared, turning to the singer. “Did you tell them, or you wanted to keep it a secret? Where are the other children of Chief Ali? Stand up. Even they look alike.”
The Twist No One Saw Coming
Kenzo, born Edrisah Musuuza, has long shared stories of his rough childhood — losing his mother early, surviving on the streets, and hustling through music to global fame. Fans have always seen him as a symbol of resilience, Uganda’s boy who beat the odds.

But this revelation adds a shocking twist: his father was none other than Chief Ali, the man who led Uganda’s army between 1996 and 1998 and remains a celebrated NRA bush war veteran.
Suddenly, Kenzo isn’t just a music legend — he’s now the unexpected heir to a powerful military legacy.
Fans React: “Soldier’s Blood Meets BET Gold”
Social media went into overdrive within minutes. Posts, memes, and wild theories flooded X and Facebook.
Some fans were floored: “We admired Kenzo for surviving the streets, now he’s got soldier blood too?!”
Others joked: “Sitya Loss has military roots, no wonder it was a battle anthem in clubs!”
A few even whispered about politics, wondering if Kenzo’s new revelation could push him closer to national leadership circles.
What This Means for Kenzo
Kenzo is no stranger to headlines. From winning Uganda’s first-ever BET Award to landing a historic Grammy nomination, he has built his name on global stages. Now, thanks to Museveni’s revelation, his life story just took a turn fit for a blockbuster movie — from street struggles to soldier’s son.
