Celebrated Ugandan music manager Jeff Kiwa has reportedly opened a cyber harassment case against outspoken entertainment journalist and music critic Frank Ntambi following a heated online exchange over the controversial “Nobody, Somebody” song saga.
According to police records accessed by this publication, Ntambi has been summoned to Kabalagala Police Station for questioning and is expected to report himself within the week.
The unfolding drama stems from a public disagreement surrounding the management and promotion strategies involving singer Jowy Landa, with Frank Ntambi accusing Jeff Kiwa of lacking modern music industry tactics and professionalism.
“Some people are managers because they have money but don’t know how the game works. They stopped in P2,” Ntambi stated in a viral social media post. “That’s why a graduate like me tried to offer him help—not even for Ava Peace, but for Jowy Landa. But you see, a P2 dropout can’t understand marketing and publicity.”
Ntambi did not hold back, further alleging that Kiwa’s management approach is outdated and emotionally driven.
“Jeff suffers from a disease of not healing from breakups. You saw it with Radio and Weasel—after they separated, he lost the touch. Now with Sheebah, he’s doing the same thing,” Ntambi claimed. “But I’m not scared of him.”
These statements have not only caused a stir online but have reportedly prompted Kiwa to seek legal redress through law enforcement, citing cyber harassment and defamation.
Frank Ntambi now joins the long list of public figures including Radio and Weasel, and Sheebah Karungi, who have previously clashed with Jeff Kiwa—a man once considered untouchable in Uganda’s music business corridors.
With this saga catching public attention, questions now linger in the entertainment industry:
Is Jeff Kiwa losing his grip on the game, or is he simply being tested in a new digital era that demands evolution and reinvention?
