Ugandan army chief demands Jay-Z give him Beyoncé to marry

Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the Ugandan chief of army and son of
President Yoweri Museveni, has sparked fresh reactions online after reiterating
his intention to marry US singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.

 

The controversial military leader took to his verified X
page on June 28 to declare that he would stage a solo protest at Kampala’s City
Square to demonstrate his affection for the 44-year-old Grammy-winning artiste,
despite her 18-year marriage to rapper and music executive Jay-Z.

The demonstration, he wrote, would be called “I’m here
Beyonce”.

“If Beyonce doesn’t even know me, I’m going to mount a 1 man
demonstration at City Square. It will be called ‘I’m here Beyonce’
demonstration,” Kainerugaba wrote in the now-deleted post.

In another deleted tweet, he issued an ultimatum to Jay-Z,
56, giving the rapper one week to “surrender” Beyoncé to him, threatening to
escalate the matter to the United Nations if his demand was not met.

“I’m giving Jay-Z one week to surrender my wife to me. Or
else I take this matter to the UN,” he added.

Jay-Z can do whatever he wants to me but I’m taking Beyonce!

I challenge Jay-Z to a duel at dawn. If I win I take Beyonce.

Jay-Z must report to Uganda and apologise for marrying my woman…Beyonce.

In 2025, he posted a series of messages on X, claiming
“Jay-Z married my woman” and challenging the hip-hop mogul to a physical duel,
insisting that Jay-Z must travel to Uganda to apologise.

Neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z has responded to the comments.

The general’s remarks have also drawn mixed reactions on
social media.

But does Beyonce know the kind of expensive life she would have if she decided to move in with the Afande that has a crush on her in Uganda?
