Halima Namakula has come to Rema Namakula’s defence as criticism grows following her recent performance with Rwandan artist The Ben.

While at a recent performance in Uganda, The Ben and Rema Namakula got too close, rubbing their groins together as they sang their duet ‘This Is Love’.

Their act provoked mixed reactions on social media, with some applauding their chemistry.

Others, however, questioned why a married woman would let her body rub on another man who is not her husband.

Rema Namakula shares her own experience with fan harassment

According to Halima Namakula, critics should not read too much into the performance. She states that singers sometimes turn into actresses to act out the emotions in their songs.

She noted that the chemistry between The Ben and Rema ends on stage, and people shouldn’t insinuate further relations.

“Singers we are also actresses, ebyo bisigala ku stage,” Halima Namakula, who is also an artist, partly said in a comment on Instagram.
