    Shakib Lutaaya Brings Ugandan Culture to Netflix’s Young, Famous & African

    Ugandan reality TV star Shakib Lutaaya, who appeared in Season 2 of Netflix’s Young, Famous & African, has opened up about his decision to introduce himself in Luganda on the global platform.

    His introduction—“Nze Lutaaya Shakib, nva Uganda and I’m Zari’s fiancé”—caught the attention of many viewers. While some found it unexpected, others saw it as a bold and endearing cultural statement.

    Why Shakib Spoke Luganda on Netflix

    Shakib revealed that his choice was intentional and deeply rooted in his Ugandan heritage. Having grown up watching films, he always wished to see Ugandan representation on the global stage. When he finally got the opportunity to be on Netflix, he wanted to ensure that Luganda was heard worldwide.

    “I grew up watching movies and always wanted to see films from Uganda. So when I got the chance to be on Netflix’s Young, Famous & African, I wanted to showcase Luganda and represent Uganda.”

    A Proud Moment for Ugandan Culture

    By choosing to speak in his native language, Shakib hoped to instill pride among Ugandans and prove that their culture deserves global recognition. His appearance marked a significant moment as Luganda was featured on an international streaming platform with millions of viewers.

    He expressed his excitement knowing that people from different countries were exposed to Ugandan culture through his introduction.

    “Hearing Luganda on Netflix was a proud moment for me. It’s time for Uganda to be seen and heard on the global stage.”

    Ugandan Representation in Global Entertainment

    Shakib Lutaaya’s move aligns with a growing trend where African stars are embracing local languages and cultures in international productions. His bold introduction has sparked discussions about the importance of African representation and the need for diverse storytelling in global entertainment.

    As Uganda’s entertainment industry continues to grow, Shakib’s appearance on Young, Famous & African serves as an inspiration for other artists and creatives looking to showcase their heritage.

    Could this mark the beginning of more Ugandan languages making their way into international film and TV? Only time will tell. But one thing is clear—Shakib Lutaaya has made history, and Uganda is watching!
