“I Can Do Without TV, TikTok Is Enough & My Fans Will Follow Me There, To Hell With UCC” Museveni’s Blue Eyed Girl Full Figure Fires Back
Moments after news broke that her widely followed Omusunsuzi show on Salt TV had been suspended, social media personality Full Figure Nakangubi hit back with a fiery response. Taking to TikTok, the outspoken media figure directly challenged the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC), the regulator behind the decision, in a rant that quickly went viral among her fans.
The suspension followed a wave of complaints about Nakangubi’s conduct on air. UCC cited repeated use of abusive language and behavior that violated Uganda’s broadcasting standards, prompting the regulator to pull the plug on the two-hour morning programme, which she co-hosted with veteran broadcaster Charles James Ssenkubuge.
But Nakangubi was defiant. In her Saturday TikTok video, she declared that UCC could not silence her, vowing to keep engaging her audience through digital platforms. “I can do without TV. TikTok will keep me close to my fans, and UCC can’t stop me,” she said, stressing that her personal influence outweighs the platform she appears on.
Reflecting on her career, she recounted her early days at Minister Balaam’s Radio4 before moving to Hon. Moses Balyeku’s Baba TV. She explained that her professional choices have always been guided by opportunities that suit her brand and attract viewers, something she claims regulators fail to grasp. Better pay—including dollar-denominated contracts—also influenced her moves to Bukedde TV and later Salt TV.
Nakangubi further revealed that her exit from Baba TV was not only about money but also linked to sexual harassment, pointing specifically to broadcaster Basajjamivule. Despite such setbacks, she maintains strong ties with Pastor Aloysius Bugingo’s Salt TV, which she still describes as both a workplace and a home.
Now serving as a Presidential Advisor, Full Figure showed no signs of backing down. She accused UCC of applying double standards, insisting that other broadcasters use equally vulgar language yet face no similar penalties. Her stance underscores her determination to remain one of the most unapologetically bold voices in Uganda’s media space.
As the standoff continues, Nakangubi’s strategy is clear: leverage her massive online following to stay relevant beyond television. While Omusunsuzi may have gone off-air, her digital presence is thriving, proving that in today’s media landscape, outspoken personalities can survive—and even grow—without traditional platforms.
