Ugandaâs entertainment and social media streets are buzzing againâthis time with whispers surrounding one of the countryâs most admired young celebrity couples: NBS news anchor Canary Mugume and media personality Sasha Ferguson.
For years, the couple has been admired for their polished image, coordinated appearances, and seemingly unshakable bond. But in recent weeks, followers have noticed unusual signsâfueling speculation that the two might be going through a quiet breakup or separation.
What Sparked the Rumours?
The first wave of speculation surfaced when fans noticed a sudden social media silence between the couple. The once-frequent Instagram posts showing family moments, travel snapshots, and supportive messages disappeared. Observers pointed out that both Canary and Sasha have stopped appearing together in public events, something they previously did with ease.
Additionally, online detectives noted that some photos were either archived or no longer visibleâanother classic sign that a couple might be going through a tough chapter.
Sources Close to the Couple Speak Out
While neither Canary nor Sasha has issued an official statement, people close to the pair suggest that the two have been navigating private disagreements over the past months. According to insider conversations circulating online, the couple has been âtrying to work things out quietly without media pressure.â
Some commentators claim that the challenges stem from busy career schedules, with Canary strongly focused on his journalism and Sasha expanding her digital content and humanitarian engagements. The demanding lifestyles reportedly created emotional distance, which could have contributed to the tension.
Fans ReactâShock, Sympathy & Speculation
The online reaction has been intense. Many Ugandans expressed shock, considering the couple was widely seen as a âperfect match.â Others have urged the public to avoid jumping to conclusions, reminding everyone that couplesâespecially public onesâdeserve privacy.
A few fans are also hopeful that the two may simply be taking time apart and could reunite after resolving personal issues.
Canary Speaks out
"Thereâs been an attempt to label me an abuser and an irresponsible father.
On being accused of being an abuser:
I normally choose silence, but there are narratives that must be corrected. So allow me say this; I am part of the unreported statistics of men who experience domestic violence from partners with uncontrolled anger issues. But because âwe are men in a corporate world,â we stay silent, show up every day. I restrained myself immensely despite all provocations and assaults. But society will, of course, believe the female gender. I have evidence of myself bleeding after being assaulted. All my closest friends, family know this.
On being accused of being an irresponsible father:
Despite having only seen my children ONCE in the last ten months, I have never stopped sending money monthly, a figure that wasnât decided by me, but by my accuser. There is evidence of this: messages saying âthank youâ and receipts of the transactions.
I have gone to court, fought, and been granted custody of my children, custody that authorities deliberately failed to enforce (that is a story for another day). Custody was granted on grounds of desertion: the mother had deserted them in a locked apartment with a maid while she was traveling overseas. Since January, I have been denied access to my children, despite numerous requests to seem and third parties intervening.
To men: speak up against violence from your wives when you still have the chance. I suffered in silence for too long. It didnât help.
This is the last time I am addressing this issue, please give me space to heal."
