After a major concert in Kampala, Rwandan artist The Ben is once again trending on social media—this time, not because of his music, but because of a viral video showing him with a woman in a nightclub. However, people close to him say the rumors are false and meant to damage his image.
The video, recorded on May 17, 2025, after his concert at Serena Hotel, shows The Ben at Mezo Noir, a popular nightclub in Kampala. In the clip, he is seen dancing closely and chatting with a young woman. The video spread quickly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Some social media users claimed that the video was proof that The Ben was being unfaithful to his wife, especially since they recently welcomed their first child. They accused him of going against family values.
However, The Ben’s manager, Alex Muyoboke, who was with him in Kampala, strongly denied the accusations.
He explained:
“It happened after the concert. The girl just asked The Ben for a photo. They talked briefly, and because the music was loud, they had to stand close. Nothing more happened. People are twisting the story to make him look bad.”
Muyoboke also said that some people may have edited the video to make it look worse and push a false narrative against The Ben.
The rumors grew even more after a popular TikToker named Godfather claimed The Ben had sexual relationships with Ugandan women, allegedly through someone named Kelly Musonera. However, he provided no evidence to support these claims.
Reliable sources say The Ben has tried to contact those spreading the video, asking them to delete it and stop damaging his reputation—especially now that he is adjusting to fatherhood.
Although The Ben has not personally addressed the issue on his social media, his silence suggests he wants the matter resolved quietly. His team has spoken on his behalf.
Fans of Rwandan music are divided. Some criticize how quickly the story went viral, saying it was handled recklessly. Others believe celebrities must be careful with their public behavior.
The Ben, known for his calm personality and contributions to Rwandan music, is respected by many. While the situation could affect his image, many supporters still believe this is just a smear campaign with no solid proof.
