After severing ties with her mother, Iryn Namubiru revealed in an interview earlier this year that she had taken 11 years without speaking to her mother. It was still in this interview that the Nkuweki artiste promised to spill more in a manuscript she said she would release later this year. Well, the book is out. Launched last week at Kampala Serena Hotel, at an invite-only event, the book launch had artistes such as Ykee Benda, Babaluku and Halima Namakula, dignitaries and her close friends in attendance, including former vice president Gilbert Bukenya.
Titled My Mother Knows, the 319-paged book has different chapters such as “My father”, “Siblings”, “Lake Victoria boat cruise incident”, “the Japan saga”, “the Land saga”, among others. “I am writing this memoir because I want to tell the truth. I have been shouldering a mountain of pain, frustration, shame, uncertainty and confusion and it is very exhausting. I am fed up with being the subject of gossip and drama. I am tired of watching and reading fabricated narratives spun by some toxic, evil, envious,and ungrateful family members, who seem to have forgotten that the truth always comes out.”
