Ugandan ex-model, Doreen Kabareebe who now resides in the US has attacked some of Uganda’s biggest musicians by claiming that teenage TikToker, Tenge Tenge is more popular than them.

Taking to her X (Twitter) page, she said that the young boy is more popular than Dr Jose Chameleone, Bebe Cool, and Eddy Kenzo combined.

According to her, American kids showed her the TikToker’s videos and then asked her about him. They asked her if he lives in Uganda. From her assessment, he’s more popular than these musicians.

“American kids are here asking me about Tenge Tenge. Boys literally showed me his TikTok asking me if he’s in Uganda. Tenge is bigger than Eddy Kenzo, Chameleone and Bebe Cool combined,” she said.

Her social media followers expressed different opinions. Some called her out for disrespecting some of Uganda’s biggest musicians who have done tremendous things for the music industry in the country.

However, others complimented Tenge Tenge by saying that he is truly blessed because he’s now viral and famous everywhere. Some Ugandans in the Middle East said that even their Arab bosses always ask them about the boy as they do his dance moves.

Apparently, Tenge Tenge has a very large following on TikTok that is now close to 5m. His videos have also amassed many views on the platform.
