Ugandan socialite Shanita Namuyimbwa, popularly known as Bad Black, has once again stirred controversy after openly admitting she has no plans to quit fraud — the vice that once landed her in Luzira Prison.
In a recent YouTube interview, Bad Black candidly confessed that she continues to engage in fraudulent dealings, saying it’s what sustains her lifestyle.
“I cannot promise that I will stop being a fraud. I’m a con woman and I’m still doing it. I have never retired, and I’m still looking for more deals,” she revealed.
Bad Black was released from Luzira Prison a few years ago after serving a four-year sentence for embezzlement. Her case, which made national headlines, cemented her reputation as one of Uganda’s most talked-about celebrities.
Despite her past, the outspoken socialite says she has no regrets and has learned to outsmart the system.
“This time, the money goes straight to my lawyer. Even when I get in trouble, my lawyer cannot be implicated by the law for that,” she bragged.
In 2019, Bad Black threw a lavish 30th birthday celebration at Kingdom Kampala, dubbed the Black Boulevard Party. The star-studded, red-carpet event was attended by Kampala’s top celebrities and socialites.
While many assumed she funded the luxurious celebration herself, Bad Black later admitted that a man she met in Dubai footed all the bills — despite never having visited Uganda.
“If we meet in London and I tell him I come from Kenya, there won’t be any issues. My next target will be easy because I will hypnotize him with my charm,” she said, boasting about her past escapades.
Bad Black claims she has now perfected the art of deception, saying her new methods make it difficult for authorities to trace her transactions. She insists that her experience has made her wiser — and untouchable.
“I have done so many deals without repercussions. The other time, I was a fool and didn’t know what to do,” she confessed.
Her statements have sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users applauded her honesty and boldness, others condemned her for glorifying criminal activity.
Bad Black’s latest remarks come amid ongoing debates about Uganda’s socialite culture and the moral influence of celebrity figures on the youth.
Shanita Namuyimbwa, alias Bad Black, rose to fame in the early 2010s for her flamboyant lifestyle and high-profile relationships. Her 2012 conviction for embezzling billions of shillings marked a turning point in her public image, turning her into both a symbol of controversy and resilience.
