Shanita Namuyimba alias Bad Black is one of the most controversial Ugandan socialites.
She made her name as a lady who splashed money around Kampala hangouts without fear or favor. She ruled Kampala nightlife in her heydays.
She used to spend as if she owned the keys to the national treasury.
She was later convicted for embezzling US$3.9m from the company she jointly owned with her ex-lover, a British engineer, David Greenhalgh.
When she was released from jail, she had no money but she has managed to survive and keep relevant because of her controversy.
In a recent interview with a popular You Tuber, Bad Black revealed that she wouldn’t be alive if she had not bleached because it’s her light skin that brings customers.
Bad Black emphasized that she would have starved to death because she left jail with nothing.
She started vending Kandahar to put food on the table.
