Apart from making waves in the entertainment and business circles globally, American singer Beyonce Knowles-Carter is also making waves in General Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s life.

The acclaimed singer has attracted the attention of Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF).

Apparently, the general has been waiting for her and is now wondering how much longer he has to wait.

Kainerugaba who is Uganda President Yoweri Museveni’s son is not new to making controversial statements and this time he let his thoughts on Beyonce known, sparking controversy.

He took to social media wondering how much longer he has to wait for the renowned global star.

Kainerugaba wrote on X on December 28, wondering if the singer has an idea of how many cows he has, presumably for paying her dowry.

<h3>Muhoozi Kainerugaba ignites diplomatic tiff with Sudan</h3>

Just before Christmas (on December 21, 2024) Muhoozi sparked a diplomatic tiff with Sudan with his controversial tweets on taking over Sudan’s capital.

Khartoum responded swiftly by demanding an apology for the “irresponsible” comments.

Notably, Gen Muhoozi made similar comments on seizing Nairobi on 20 January 2023 in a tweet that has since been deleted, with the two sister states not making much of the tweet that turned out to be empty rhetoric.

<blockquote>"I will capture Nairobi for sure! That's my hometown. If any Kenyan tries to prevent me. He'll be soup! We will drink him for dinner. My father can sack me again if he wants. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Some Kenyans fear us because they know our military is greater than theirs. Our Army can capture Nairobi in 1 week!</blockquote>

<h3>Rise in military and political circles</h3>

His rise in military and government circles sparked speculation that his father may be grooming him for a higher role in government, including the presidency.

On March 15 at 11:22 pm, General posted on X that he would vie for the presidency in 2026.

The post which has since been deleted sparked controversy as his father's party had endorsed the incumbent for the presidency in 2026, but gave a glimpse of the General’s political ambitions.

<blockquote>There is no Opposition in Uganda. There is only Truth and Lies! The time for people to choose between them is fast approaching. How many agree with me that our time has come? Enough of the old people ruling us. Dominating us. It's time for our generation to shine. Retweet and like.</blockquote>

<blockquote>You have wanted me to say it forever! Okay, in the name of Jesus Christ my God, in the name of all the young people of Uganda and the world, and in the name of our great revolution, I will stand for the Presidency in 2026!</blockquote>

He is the chairman of the Patriotic League of Uganda, a lobby group that is in support of his presidency.

His career in the military has seen him serve in several positions, including as commander of the Special Forces Command (SFC), Ugandan Military’s special operations unit.

Apart from his role in the army, Kainerugaba was also appointed a Senior Presidential Adviser for Special Operations in 2021.

Apparently, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has been waiting for Beyonce and is now wondering how much longer he has to wait.

Shimmery and glamorous leotards &amp; bodysuits have become the de facto performance outfits for international artistes like Beyoncé and at home, these outfits are catching on.

A few months ago, <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/entertainment/funniest-photos-from-the-akotheechallenge/e6x3sd2" target="_blank">Akothee</a> wore one but was slammed for performing in it at the Paparemo Beach in Watamu.

Some went ahead and called her ‘immoral’ and claimed that she was a bad role model because of the combination of the leotard and provocative dance moves. But despite the backlash and her mother’s disapproval, Madam Boss is yet to drop the leg-baring leotards.

While some like Akothee are embracing leotards in their performances, Sanaipei Tande has said that she wouldn’t be caught dead in the thong-like contraption.

In an interview with the KM network, Sanaipei revealed that ‘no matter what happens, she’ll never disrespect herself by going naked on anybody’s stage.’ This is because she respects herself, she has a family that looks up to her and she cares about her culture. She opined that no matter how talented you are, at some point you have to take off your clothes, but she is not jumping on that bandwagon.

“I’ll take an example of Beyoncé, she has an amazing voice, she has an incredible work ethic, she is beautiful and she has the money but at some point in her career, she had to start taking off her clothes. What is this bodysuit thing that you have to wear on stage?” She asked.

Miss Tande also revealed that all her music goes through her parents and she wouldn’t want to disrespect them or her culture with scanty clothing.

“All my music goes through my parents, even ‘Mfalme wa Mapenzi’, I played it for my mum but I told my dad that I have done a sex song but I would never play it for him because its against our culture. Out of respect, he told me that my music sounded amazing but he didn’t touch the content because we have a level of respect. So there is no way I would go on stage with a bodysuit thong looking thing because I want to get views. Like me for my lyrics, understand my music it’s very educative, it ends there,” she said.

Her declaration comes months after another singer was allegedly kicked out of a TV station for wearing biker shorts.

Jane Ikasi alias Mistony claimed that she was told to wrap herself in a kanga or leave the station and she chose the latter. This is because she felt humiliated.

“It felt extremely awful to be turned away by that TV station, yet other media houses received me well in those clothes. I respect my body. So, I wouldn’t expose it with an ulterior motive. I was well dressed, and I think it is time we start embracing modern culture. Above all, I am an artiste; and media houses should know better. I felt humiliated,” Mistony said on Hot 96 FM.

Grandpa CEO Refigah who had accompanied her to the interview wondered out loud when the station introduced a dress code. “There was a time we were at the TV station for an interview, and they did not mention anything to do with attire. So, why introduce a dress-code now?”

Skimpy outfits are a no-no for the singer and Aziza actress.
