Dancehall sensation Beenie Gunter, known offstage as Crescent Baguma, made his anticipated return to Uganda early Friday. After a challenging stint in the UAE, his arrival sparked joy at Entebbe International Airport. Nickie Berry, his partner, and their son, Joshua Baguma, shared this joyful moment, welcoming him back with open arms.
The artist found himself in hot waters on January 21, 2023, during what should have been a routine departure from Dubai. Along with Berry, he was embroiled in a dispute that led to his arrest. The altercation, involving two Ugandan promoters, occurred after Gunter’s Abu Dhabi gig.
His involvement in the fracas led to his detention in Abu Dhabi on charges of violent behavior and property damage. Fans were relieved when, after six days behind bars, Beenie Gunter secured bail on January 26, 2024. However, his troubles were far from over, as a travel ban kept him from returning home immediately.
Gunter’s surprise return to Uganda this Friday has stirred excitement among fans and the music community. Rumors are swirling about his potential appearance at Lydia Jazmine’s ‘First Born’ concert at Hotel Africana tonight. After months away, Gunter’s homecoming is not just a personal victory but a moment of celebration for his supporters, eager to see him perform live again.
