You are probably used to modest birthday events characterised by cake, soda, some wine and nyama choma. Well, not anymore. Shanita Namuyimbwa, alias Bad Black celebrated her 30th birthday in a lavish style, a thing that left revellers awestruck. Hassan Ssentongo was there.

Last Friday was Uganda’s socialite, Bad Black’s birthday. To celebrate the milestone, the controversial star hosted a luxurious birthday bash at Kingdom Kampala, dubbed ‘Black Boulevard.’

Away from all the shenanigans at the event, the party had a very strict dress code- glitter and shimmer for the ladies and all black for men.

Those who did not heed to the dress code were politely barred from accessing the event. Bad Black made a triumphant entry donning a relatively heavy but shimmery gown. It featured a fitting long skirt which turned into a feather filled floor grazing train. The gown also had lace sleeves with peeking skin.

As men followed the all black dress code to the letter, ladies had fun with a myriad of choices from shimmer, glitter and sequins, and more.
See how it went down.
