Ugandan TikToker Benita Nakabugo, popularly known as Benitah256MadamViolence, says she has lost her job in Bahrain following backlash over her political comments about the National Unity Platform (NUP) and its leader, Bobi Wine.Nakabugo claimed that NUP supporters contacted her former employer, The Matcha Space, after some of her political remarks circulated online, allegedly putting pressure on the company.
She said the campaign eventually resulted in her dismissal and asked those who complained against her to stop, saying their alleged objective had already been achieved.“Now you have succeeded in your mission. I have lost my job,” Nakabugo said.Her controversy reportedly followed comments about Uganda’s 2026 presidential election that angered some opposition supporters.
She questioned whether her dismissal would change Uganda’s political situation or make Bobi Wine president.The Matcha Space has reportedly removed some social media videos featuring Nakabugo but has not publicly explained the circumstances surrounding her departure.The incident has sparked debate online over political expression, freedom of speech and whether employees should face professional consequences because of their political views.
