Bebe Cool’s wife Zuena Kirema has finally addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding a photo that has been circulating on social media over the years.
The photo, which suggests that Bebe Cool was eating pork at one of the hangout spots in Kampala, has over the years left netizens perplexed and sparked heated debates about the singer’s adherence to his Muslim beliefs.
Critics have been quick to use the photo as evidence to question Bebe Cool’s commitment to his religious principles. They argue that if he is indeed consuming pork, a meat strictly prohibited in Islam, it raises doubts about his faith and commitment to his religious community.
Adding fuel to the fire, Novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija recently joined the discussion, using the photo to highlight what he perceives as Bebe Cool’s freedom from religious restrictions.
Rukirabashaija argued that Bebe Cool’s life is not constrained by the traditional Muslim prohibition on consuming pork or alcohol, suggesting that others should also break free from such limitations.
In response to Rukirabashaija’s tweet, Zuena Kirema swiftly stepped in to clarify the situation. She explained that the meat in the photo was, in fact, goat’s meat and not pork. However, despite her explanation, people continue to interpret the image in a way that suits their narrative.

This was goat’s meat,however people have decided to frame it the way that satisfies them.
