In the days leading up to her death, she had headlined several successful concerts in Kampala and worked on advertising projects with Ugandan artist Bruno K. In a video posted on Gogo Gloriose’s official YouTube channel, her manager, Bikem wa Yesu, dismissed circulating rumors as unfounded speculation. He expressed gratitude to Rwanda’s embassy in Uganda for guiding and supporting the team during the difficult period. “After Gogo’s death, we didn’t know what to do, so we approached the embassy. They guided us and covered expenses so she could be brought to Mulago Hospital for autopsy,” Bikem said. He also thanked singer Bruno, who remained by the team’s side throughout the ordeal. “Thank you, Bruno, a true servant of God. I pray God continues to bless you and your family for all you did for Gogo,” Bikem added. The manager also appeared on a TikTok Live, revealing that the artist had a history of seizures. As of publication, attempts to confirm whether she had epilepsy have been unsuccessful. Gogo Gloriose first gained attention on social media, but her career shifted when South African YouTuber and musician David Scott, known as The Kiffness, covered her song Everyday, I Need Blood of Jesus, bringing her wider recognition. Before pursuing music full-time, Gloriose completed her ordinary-level secondary education and worked as a street vendor selling fresh fruit. She eventually left the trade to focus entirely on her music career.
