Legendary Ugandan rapper GNL Zamba has opened up about helping his wife, Miriam Tamar, embrace Ugandan culture by hiring a private tutor to teach her Luganda.

The celebrated rapper, who splits his time between Uganda and the United States with his wife, revealed that although Miriam Tamar already knows a few Luganda words, he wants her to become more fluent and comfortable communicating while in Uganda.

Speaking during Feffe Bussi’s concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval, GNL Zamba shared his excitement about the cultural journey they are taking together as a couple.

“She knows a few words already, but I’m trying to get her up to speed with Luganda,” GNL Zamba said.

The Kikankane rapper also spoke warmly about his admiration for his wife, describing her as beautiful and a joy to be around. According to him, men should proudly move with and appreciate their partners instead of keeping them hidden away.

“A woman is like a flower. When you keep her indoors, she withers,” he added.

Beyond family matters, GNL Zamba praised Feffe Bussi’s concert, describing the show as mesmerizing and an important moment for Uganda’s hip-hop scene. He noted that being invited to perform and receiving recognition from Feffe Bussi as an inspiration was deeply meaningful.

The rapper expressed confidence in the future of Ugandan hip-hop, saying the genre is now in safe hands and appreciating the contribution of pioneers who have kept the culture alive and respected.

Zamba also weighed in on the recent violence and tensions within the music industry, particularly the clashes involving Pallaso and King Saha. While acknowledging disagreements among artistes, he stressed that conflicts should remain artistic rather than physical.

For GNL Zamba, music battles belong in lyrics and performances—not in violence.
