Ugandan singer Aaronx is making headlines after publicly ruling out any chance of working with fellow artist Gloria Bugie — and it doesn’t stop there. He says he wouldn’t even date her, not now, not ever.
In a candid and somewhat surprising interview, the rising star made it crystal clear that there is no future collaboration — or romantic involvement — between him and Gloria, despite both being active players in Uganda’s vibrant music scene.
Let’s break it all down.
🚫 No Collab, No Connection: Aaronx Draws a Hard Line

“I can’t do a collaboration with Gloria Bugie, please,” he began firmly. “To the state that I am — a gentle guy — and the kind of work I do, I have a class of people who don’t associate with certain things.”
While he didn’t go into specifics, Aaronx alluded to past controversies surrounding Gloria Bugie, which he says don’t align with the brand he’s built.
“She has stuff she did back then that don’t permit me to work with her,” he added.
👀 Not Even Romantically? Aaronx Says “Absolutely Not”
If fans were hoping for at least a romantic connection or flirtation between the two singers, think again.
Aaronx took things even further by saying that dating Gloria Bugie isn’t even in the realm of possibility, adding that it’s something he’s never considered.
“Not even in my wildest dreams have I thought of dating Gloria Bugie,” he said bluntly.
And in case anyone missed the point, he continued:
“Even my mother wouldn’t love to hear that I’m dating her. When I’m just next to her, my fans would be like, ‘No, that’s not right.’ I can’t even date her. How would my mother feel if such a thing happens?”
Yikes.
🧨 Social Media Reacts: Fans Divided Over the Shade
As expected, the internet had a lot to say about Aaronx’s brutally honest comments. Some fans praised him for upholding his brand and staying true to his principles. Others, however, accused him of publicly shaming Gloria Bugie unnecessarily.
“He could have just said they have different styles and left it at that,” one user commented on X.
“This was shade disguised as standards,” another wrote.
“Protect your peace, Aaronx! Not everyone deserves access to your journey,” a fan replied in support.
Whether you view it as petty or principled, there’s no denying — Aaronx just created one of the spiciest headlines of the week.
🎤 Who Is Gloria Bugie, and Why the Controversy?
Gloria Bugie is a bold and provocative figure in the Ugandan entertainment industry, known for her unapologetic persona and often controversial performances.
She has a loyal fan base that celebrates her raw confidence and fearless presence, but she’s also drawn criticism over the years for performances and music videos that some consider too risqué.
It’s unclear exactly what “staff she did back then” Aaronx was referring to, but it seems clear he believes her image clashes with the type of audience and reputation he’s working to build.
💬 Is This the End of a Possible Collaboration?
By all indications, yes.
With the door firmly shut on both a professional collaboration and personal connection, it’s safe to say we shouldn’t expect a surprise track drop from Aaronx and Gloria Bugie anytime soon.
Still, in the ever-dramatic world of music and entertainment, never say never — but for now, the answer is a resounding “no.”
