Viral Claim That Mega Dee’s Wife Blocked His Uganda Trip Over Bobi Wine’s 'Dirty Politics'- Unverified

An article published by The Explorer alleges that Mega Dee (Amos Kigenyi), a Ugandan musician now based in the U.S., was stopped by his wife, Dorothy Thabelinah, from travelling to Uganda to support Bobi Wine’s 2026 presidential campaign, citing Bobi Wine’s “dirty politics.”

The story, which surfaced on a low-credibility outlet and spread via social media, lacks supporting evidence from reputable sources, Mega Dee, Dorothy, or Bobi Wine’s team. It should be treated as an unsubstantiated rumour.

The Explorer article, dated September 27, 2025, claims Dorothy intervened due to concerns over Bobi Wine’s political controversies, preventing Mega Dee from supporting the opposition leader’s 2026 campaign. Accompanied by a photo of the couple at Mega Dee’s 2021 graduation, the piece paints a picture of family tension. The story quickly gained traction on X, with users sharing the article and fueling online speculation about Mega Dee’s political stance.

Mega Dee, born Amos Kigenyi, gained fame in Uganda’s music scene with hits in the early 2000s before relocating to the U.S. in 2012. He shifted to a healthcare career, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare in 2021 and later qualifying in cardiovascular diagnostic medicine. He and Dorothy welcomed a daughter in 2022, marking a new chapter in their family life. Mega Dee’s longstanding friendship with Bobi Wine dates back to their music collaboration days in Uganda. Bobi Wine, leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP), was officially nominated for the 2026 Ugandan presidential elections on September 24, 2025, positioning him as a significant challenger to President Yoweri Museveni, who has ruled since 1986. Bobi Wine’s campaign has already drawn international attention, with his platform emphasizing youth empowerment and opposition to alleged government repression.

No credible news outlets like Daily Monitor, New Vision have reported this alleged incident. Searches across X and other platforms show only shares of the Explorer article posted today, with no statements from Mega Dee, Dorothy, or Bobi Wine’s NUP team to back the claim. There’s no evidence that Mega Dee planned to travel to Uganda or publicly committed to supporting the 2026 campaign. The Explorer lacks a verifiable track record as a reliable news source its name does not appear in indexed articles from established media, suggesting it may be a fringe or fabricated outlet designed to attract clicks with sensational stories.

Uganda’s 2026 elections are shaping up to be a critical moment, with Bobi Wine framing his candidacy as a “protest vote” against decades of Museveni’s rule. In this tense atmosphere, unverified stories about prominent figures like Mega Dee could serve to discredit supporters or exploit personal narratives for political gain. The use of inflammatory language like “dirty politics” in the Explorer headline aligns with tactics often seen in misinformation campaigns, especially on platforms like X where unverified claims can spread rapidly. Without primary evidence such as travel records, legal documents, or direct quotes this narrative remains speculative and risks misleading the public.

The Explorer’s claim that Dorothy blocked Mega Dee’s travel to support Bobi Wine is baseless gossip, not fact. Confirmed details include Mega Dee’s career shift to healthcare, his family life with Dorothy, and Bobi Wine’s official 2026 candidacy. However, the alleged intervention lacks proof and appears to be a fabricated story from an untrustworthy source. In Uganda’s charged political climate, readers should rely on established media and avoid sharing unverified rumors that could distort public perception.
