Controversies
Tweets from an X user going by the name @rnakands in September 2023 claimed that Lucky Mbabazi was embroiled in a sex scandal with her boss at Capital FM, Peter Mungoma.
Rahma claimed that Mbabazi’s marriage to Patrick Kanyomozi was in jeopardy because of the two of them “enjoying a secret relationship.”
With the description, “This mid-morning workout is directed by mwami,” Lucky Mbabazi quickly dispelled the rumours by posting a video of them working out on Instagram.
In a statement issued via social media, Capital FM Uganda dismissed charges made by Rahma Nakands regarding an intimate romance between the station’s CEO Peter Mungoma, and his staff Lucky Mbabazi.
Lucky Mbabazi hauled the late Isma Olaxess to Police CID headquarters in Kibuli for abusing her family and cyberbullying. Olaxess claimed that Patrick Kanyomozi is the parent of only one of her children.
Mbabazi was so offended by the claim that she went to the police and lodged a complaint against Isma Olaxess, who was subsequently called to appear before the CIID police.
Isma Olaxess declined to retract his remarks arguing that he couldn’t possibly apologize to Lucky Mbabazi because what he said was accurate.
