Sarkodie hails Uganda’s cultural heritage after visit to Mengo Palace, Kasubi Tombs

What the report says

Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has publicly praised Uganda’s cultural heritage after touring several notable sites during a recent visit. According to Sqoop Uganda, he visited Mengo Palace and the Kasubi Tombs, both significant landmarks in Buganda’s history, and also met members of the Buganda royal family.

In a social media post quoted by the publisher, Sarkodie described Uganda as a “beautiful discovery” and said the experience left him inspired. Sqoop Uganda reported that he met the Princess of Buganda and members of the Ghetto Kids, the Ugandan dance group known for its international profile. His remarks also pointed to similarities he sees between Ugandan and Ghanaian culture.

The article frames the visit as a mix of heritage tourism, traditional leadership and contemporary performance culture. It highlights how visits by visiting entertainers can draw attention to Uganda’s historical and cultural sites, especially the Kasubi Tombs and Mengo Palace, while also connecting them with modern creative acts like the Ghetto Kids.

More broadly, the report suggests the trip reinforced cultural ties between African countries, though it does not indicate any formal partnership or announcement. The main takeaway is Sarkodie’s positive reaction to Uganda’s heritage and the visibility his visit may give to the country’s tourism and cultural landmarks.
