Renowned Ugandan comedian and entertainer Kansiime Anne and her husband, musician Skylanta, have officially ended their five-year relationship, bringing an unexpected conclusion to a once-admired love story.
The couple, who share a child, Sellasie, were seen as an inspiration to many, particularly within Uganda’s entertainment industry, where their bond was celebrated as one of the strongest among celebrity couples.
News of their breakup was first reported by Street Deejays Radio, sending shockwaves across social media and entertainment circles.
While neither Kansiime nor Skylanta has publicly given an official statement on the split, the release of Skylanta’s latest song, Ex, has fueled speculation and controversy.
In the track, Skylanta appears to take jabs at Kansiime, describing her as “nyashless with a small head”—a remark that has not gone unnoticed by fans and critics alike.
For years, Kansiime and Skylanta were viewed as a power couple, breaking stereotypes and defying societal norms.
Their relationship was often showcased as an example of love that thrives beyond public scrutiny.
They openly supported each other’s careers, with Skylanta standing by Kansiime through various phases of her career, from comedy performances to business ventures.
Likewise, Kansiime was a vocal supporter of Skylanta’s music, frequently promoting his work and celebrating his achievements.
However, like many high-profile relationships, theirs was not immune to challenges.
In recent months, rumors swirled about tensions between the two, with some fans noticing a reduction in their public appearances together.
The release of Ex appears to confirm that their relationship ended on a sour note, marking the close of a chapter that had once been filled with love and admiration.
Reactions to their split have been mixed.
Some fans have expressed sadness over the end of a relationship they once idolized, while others have criticized Skylanta’s decision to air personal grievances through music.
Social media platforms have been flooded with discussions, with many questioning whether personal conflicts should be turned into public entertainment.
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding their separation, Kansiime and Skylanta’s breakup signals the end of an era in Ugandan entertainment.
As both move forward separately, fans will be keen to see how each navigates their personal and professional lives post-breakup.
One thing remains certain—this story will continue to dominate conversations for a while.
