Recently, controversial singer Spice Diana appeared in a video where she let a fan fondle her while on stage as she was performing some where in the city. She went a head to call any male fan to check and witness to others that her boobs were still firm as she wanted to prove wrong a female fan in the audience who said that the ’32’ girl’s breasts had already bowed to nature and soon turning into ‘slippers’.

This video came with a lot of talks with many blaming the singer for not controlling her horniness while doing her work (performing on stage) as there was also a development earlier that he had snogged with a male fan still on stage.

Since then, she has been silent about the matter till today when she has decided to come out and share with the public why she does so.

“I love interacting with my fans and engaging them in my entire performances . Am not only an artiste : I entertain my fans as well and we always have good vibes.” She said

The ‘Sente za Kameza’ singer added on that, that is what makes her different and unique.

“I do my thing my way , thank u for loving me n appreciating what I do,” She concluded.

In a random survey conducted by our investigators recently, we asked about who is currently the best female musician in Uganda and Singer Sheebah Karungi topped the list. She has had a good music career since 2013 when she dropped hits like ‘mundongo’, ‘twesana’, ‘Jordan’ among others till now. She has won several awards including Best Uganda Female Artiste awards among others but surprisingly

according to fellow singer Catherine Kusasira, she is not a singer but just gambling with beats.
The voluptuous bottomed Golden Band Productions singer says the ‘Kunya’ singer is an artist who is just on form and is helped by good beats to masquerade as a musician.

Sheebah Karungi

“Sheebah is not a singer. She is helped by good beats on the song but she doesn’t know how to sing. She can’t handle live band, she is just basically on the form. She can’t buy class” – Catherine Kusasira.

She said this while speaking to one of the local TV stations. She now follows the likes of MP and entertainer Kato Lubwama who first attacked Sheebah, calling her a fake singer, saying that her music never lasts.

Whatsapp Messenger is one of the most popular instant messaging mobile applications in the world with an estimate of at least 65 billions being sent every day.

This Face Book owned messaging application that gained popularity due to it’s fast message exchange, ease access, ease to use and low mobile data consumption is estimated to be in usage on over 1.5 billion android and Apple (IOS) operating systems activated devices every day.

With the increase in the number and chances of potential online scams, rumors and fake news, it seems it has also taken over this famed messaging platform most popular in the United States of America, Africa and Europe. The recently discovered vulnerability is the ‘FakesApp’.

FakesApp is the new whatsapp Hack that may lead to a lot of misinformation in groups as hackers might have discovered a way to change names and identities of people in Whatsapp groups.

This Hack allows hackers to intercept and manipulate messages sent in both private and group conversations when you use the reply feature. They can change the identity of the sender which can affect information sent which has given these attackers immense power to create and spread misinformation from what appears to be trusted sources.

This shocking vulnerability was revealed by the Check Point Research and three possible methods of attack exploiting this vulnerability were discovered all of which involve social engineering tactics to fool end-users.

These attacker can either use the ‘quote’ feature in a group conversation to change the identity of the sender, even if that person is not a member of the group or Alter the text of someone else reply, essentially putting words in their mouth.

Attackers can also send a private message to another group participant that is disguised as a public message for all, so when the targeted individual responds, it’s visible to everyone in the conversation.

Following the process of Responsible Disclosure, Check Point Research informed WhatsApp of their findings on these vulnerabilities that require utmost attention.
