    ### Irene Gladys Namubiru – Music Career

    Irene Namubiru has cherished singing since childhood, striving to make it a central part of her life.

    In 1995, she joined the group Da Homies alongside singer-rapper DJs Ragga Dee and Molar-Messe. She collaborated with "Joss Jew" Mawejje, a studio arranger and keyboardist, to release several singles, including the group's hits "Bamusakata," "Mukwano," and "Mukyala tokaba."

    Her first single, "Learn to Say Goodbye," featured on the group's next album, garnered significant praise. In September 1995, she made her debut stage performance. In 1999, Namubiru teamed up with Juliana Kanyomozi, a friend from Namasagali College, to form the R&B all-girl group I-Jay. In 2000, they released a seven-track album titled "Wait," featuring songs like "Wait RMX" (with Steve Jean), "Not Good Enough," "Mwana," "Wait," "Emirimu," "Vivi LA," and "Two to Make it True." Although it received some airplay on Ugandan radio stations, it wasn't widely promoted.

    Shortly after the album's release, Namubiru moved to France, leading to the group's dissolution. Despite rumors of a fallout, both Namubiru and Kanyomozi denied any personal discord. While in France, Namubiru formed the Afro-Soul group Nujeli with Julien Grout, releasing an LP titled "ENSI." This album included tracks like "Nsangi," "Desurrection," "Baami Baffe," "Twins Play," "Our Illness," "Eko," "Tuzze," "Pleasures' Garden," "Espirit es-tu la?," "Voler," and the title track "Ensi."

    Namubiru's breakthrough came in 2006 with the release of the album "Nkuweeki," marking the start of her rapid ascent to become one of Uganda's leading female musicians. Since 2006, she has enjoyed success with hits like "Y'ono" and "Birowoozo," earning several top awards in Uganda's music industry.

    Her most successful year was 2011, when she triumphed in four categories at the Pearl of Africa Music (PAM) Awards, winning Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best R&B Single of the Year.
    ### Iryn Gladys Namubiru – Controversy

    Critics of Namubiru have accused her of dressing "inappropriately" in her music videos and at some of her concerts. They argue that her outfits violate traditional Ugandan dress norms and set a bad example for aspiring musicians. In 2009, controversy arose when she wore a swimsuit in the video for her popular song "Bonna Obasinga," which many, including some fans, deemed too revealing. In response, she later created a new video to appease her critics. Nonetheless, many fans defended her "creative" fashion choices, dismissing the critics as socially backward and resistant to new styles.

    In 2019, Namubiru expressed strong disapproval of young rapper Fresh Kid, stating that he disgusted her and that she didn't listen to his music because he behaved inappropriately for his age. She first encountered Fresh Kid at Comedy Store and was puzzled by his presence until he was escorted to the stage. Namubiru acknowledged his talent but insisted he should associate with peers his own age, warning that he might need therapy when he matures and reflects on his current behavior. She also mocked a song of his in which he laments not being taken seriously due to his age, saying that if he were her child, she would still be holding him on her lap.

    ### Irene Gladys Namubiru: Japan Arrest

    On May 3, 2013, Irene Gladys Namubiru was arrested in Tokyo, Japan, where she had traveled to perform at a music concert. She was accused of possessing illegal drugs, specifically ecstasy (MDMA), which was found hidden in her luggage. Namubiru was detained at Narita International Airport in Tokyo before she could perform.

    Reports indicate that her fans, primarily Ugandans living in Japan, learned of her arrest at the concert venue and went to the airport to assist her. However, Japanese police informed them that Namubiru was traveling on a French passport, limiting their ability to help. Namubiru subsequently sought assistance from the French Embassy in Japan.

    Leading up to her arrest, Namubiru had been sharing her excitement about the upcoming concert, scheduled to take place at the Yotsukaido Cultural Hall in Tokyo. Following her arrest, she was moved from the Tokyo airport detention center to a police station in Central Tokyo, where she gave a statement asserting her ignorance about the drug in her possession.

    At a hearing on May 24, 2013, the court found insufficient evidence to convict Namubiru of drug trafficking, resulting in her acquittal. Subsequently, Japanese police cleared her of the charges, and she was released.
