A wave of generosity swept across TikTok after friends of popular content creator @bruno_KUg raised Shs8 million during a live session to support Ssentongo Paul, one of the young men whose story captured national attention following the widely publicised DNA saga involving the late singer Gerald Kafeero.

The fundraising attracted hundreds of viewers, with TikTok users making contributions in a show of solidarity with Ssentongo, who has faced public scrutiny since DNA tests reportedly established that he was not among the biological children of the late musician.

The emotional livestream saw Bruno KUg and his friends appeal to followers to stand with Ssentongo, arguing that he should not be blamed for circumstances beyond his control.

According to the organisers, the live session raised an impressive Shs8 million, a gesture many social media users have praised as a demonstration of the power of online communities to change lives.

Ssentongo became a household name after the controversial DNA tests that sought to determine the biological children of the late Kafeero. The results reportedly excluded him from the list of the singer’s biological children, sparking widespread debate and emotional reactions across the country.

The latest fundraising effort has reignited discussions on social media, with many Ugandans urging the public to show compassion to individuals caught up in family disputes, especially when they have no control over the circumstances of their birth.

For Ssentongo, the TikTok fundraiser represents more than financial support—it is a reminder that, despite the painful DNA revelations, many Ugandans are willing to stand with him and help him rebuild his life.
