As anticipation builds for his upcoming wedding to Minister Phiona Nyamutooro, award-winning Ugandan singer Eddy Kenzo has found himself at the center of swirling rumors. The speculation suggests that Kenzo, a devout Muslim, is being pressured to convert to Christianity by his fiancée’s family.
However, in a candid interview with Spark TV, the “Sitya Loss” hitmaker sought to dispel these claims, calling them baseless and unfounded. “No one has ever tried to force me to change my religion,” Kenzo asserted firmly. “I have always been true to my faith, and that will not change.”
Kenzo, who has garnered international acclaim as a BET Award winner and Grammy nominee, went on to explain his views on faith and marriage. For him, the most important aspect of a relationship is a shared belief in God, irrespective of religious labels. “I’m not changing my religion. I’m a believer, and Christians also believe in God,” Kenzo explained. “All I want is a God-fearing woman who acknowledges God’s existence. It’s the foundation that matters to me, not the specifics of the faith.”
The relationship between Eddy Kenzo and Hon. Phiona Nyamutooro has long been the subject of public interest, though the couple has largely kept their personal lives private. They share a child together, who has been kept away from the media spotlight, further fueling public curiosity. With their wedding day fast approaching, the couple’s union has generated widespread excitement and speculation.
Kenzo’s statement is a clear attempt to put the rumors to rest and refocus the public’s attention on what truly matters to him—faith, love, and family. As the wedding day draws near, fans and followers alike are eager to see the next chapter in the life of one of Uganda’s most beloved artists.
