Omega 256 Clears Rumours About Tattoo Portrait


Omega 256 Clears Rumours About Tattoo Portrait

Entertainment | September 17, 2025

S hamping Murerwa, known on stage as Omega 256 or “Queen of the West,” has spoken plainly about a large tattoo on her back that many believed was in tribute to a romantic partner. She set the record straight: the design actually honours her father.

Why It’s Her Father, Not a Partner

Omega 256 rejected the speculation, saying she would never make the error of tattooing a man’s face on her body. She joked that men are complicated and fears the risks that come with putting one’s heart openly like that.

A Tribute to a Father’s Role

In her remarks, she described how her father took on parenthood after her mother passed away, raising her and her siblings alone. The tattoo, she says, is about honoring his sacrifices and constant support — not about public display, but personal recognition of his love.

Career at a Glance

Omega 256 has built a name for herself with hits such as “See You Tonight” (with Cindy Sanyu) and “This Year.” Her rise started around the release of “Ninterwa” in 2018, and since then she has become one of the more prominent voices in Uganda’s contemporary music scene.

Foreign Entities Without Local Registration Can Now Sue in Uganda

Image
Foreign Entities Without Local Registration Can Now Sue in Uganda The Court of Appeal has held that foreign entities—including partnerships—may bring suits in Ugandan courts even if they are not registered locally, as long as they are not conducting ongoing business in Uganda. Background The case arose from Vantage Mezzanine Fund II Partnership , a South African partnership, which sued businessman Patrick Bitature to enforce obligations tied to a USD 26 million loan agreement. In pursuing enforcement, the fund sought to transfer shares in companies within the Simba Group through the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB). In 2022, the High Court (per Justice Musa Ssekaana) struck out Vantage’s action for lack of legal capacity, reasoning that, under the Partnership Act and the Business Names Registration Act , a partnership must be registered in Uganda to sue or be sued. Court of Appeal’s Decision On appeal, Justice E...

You Don’t Own Busoga,” Museveni Rebukes Kadaga

Image
“You Don’t Own Busoga,” Museveni Rebukes Kadaga During an NRM NEC meeting held last evening, President Yoweri Museveni rejected First Deputy Prime Minister Rebecca Kadaga’s suggestion that she holds exclusive sway over the Busoga region. Kadaga, a long-serving party stalwart who began her political career as an LC-I chairperson in 1999, expressed frustration that her decades of loyalty to the NRM seem overlooked in favor of Speaker Anita Among, whom she noted has only been active in the party for three years. “If this position goes to a contest, it will cause serious problems in my community … People here might think you are fighting a bigger community, not an individual.” Museveni responded sharply, cautioning against portraying Busoga as beholden to a single leader. “Rebecca, you do not own Busoga. It isn’t correct to suggest that the Basoga owe their loyalty to you alone. That’s misleadin...
