In true internet-breaking fashion, Ugandan socialite and media personality Sheila Gashumba had social media buzzing after responding to fans who jokingly asked her to start calling her father’s new bride “Mum.”
“Y’all play too much,” she wrote with a laugh, adding, “Unfortunately, I can’t. I will only call the woman who gave birth to me ‘mum’, so everyone must calm down.” Still, in good spirits, she congratulated the newlyweds, saying, “Wama congratulations beautiful Malaika!! I need two siblings.”
Her comments came shortly after photos went viral of her father, outspoken media personality and businessman Frank Gashumba, being introduced by his bride, Malaika Mutoni, in a traditional Kwanjula (Gusaba) ceremony held in Ssembabule district. The event was a colorful celebration that drew attention not just for the grandeur, but for the fact that it marked a romantic milestone for Gashumba, who many joked had spent “decades of bonkless nights.”
While social media users couldn’t get enough of the lighthearted family banter, others applauded the moment as a sweet new chapter for the Gashumba family.
As for Sheila, it seems she’s taking her role as the protective daughter in stride—with a hint of humor and a whole lot of love.
