From the streets of Kampala to one of the biggest stages in global sports. The Ugandan Ghetto Kids have become one of Africa’s most inspiring success stories.

The Ghetto Kids formerly known as Triplets Ghetto Kids, are a Ugandan children’s dance group founded by Dauda Kavuma, with an initiative aimed at supporting underprivileged children through music, dance, drama, education and shelter.

Their rise to international recognition began in 2014, when a homemade video of young dancers performing to Ugandan singer Eddy Kenzo’s hit song Sitya Loss went viral online. The video attracted millions of views and international attention which introduced their talent to audiences around the world. They also performed at major events and collaborated with global artists helping showcase Uganda’s creativity on a global stage.

The young performers also competed on the Britain’s Got Talent in 2023, where their performance earned them a Golden Buzzer from Bruno Tonioli, advancing them to the final stage of the competition. These appearances introduced the Ghetto Kids to a wider range of international audience.

By the time the opportunity linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup arrived, the group had already spent several years building a global identity. Their latest chapter connects to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Ugandan dance group gained widespread attention for their energetic performances to Dai Dai, the tournament’s official song.

Their videos attracted viewers from around the world and eventually caught the attention of Colombian superstar Shakira. Impressed by their talent and enthusiasm, she announced that she invited the Ghetto Kids to join her during the FIFA World Cup final halftime show, marking one of the biggest opportunities in the group’s history.

The invitation stands out as an opportunity because the FIFA World Cup final attracts audiences from different countries making the tournament one of the most watched sporting events on the planet, which gives the Ghetto Kids a chance to showcase Uganda’s talent on a global stage.

For a group that began by performing in the streets of Kampala, being linked to the FIFA World Cup represents a remarkable milestone.

The Ugandan Ghetto Kids have become one of Africa’s most inspiring success stories. They represent more than a dance group because their journey demonstrates how talent, mentorship, and opportunity can create a life-changing outcome for young people.

“M$NEY” marks his fourth studio album since his debut in 2022. He first ventured into the mainstream with a single “Lady” in 2020 and has since become one of Afrobeats’ most-streamed artists. 

He released his debut album, “Mr Money With The Vibe” in 2022, which became a commercial success and strengthened his sound of Fuji-inspired vocals, street-hop, and Amapiano. 

This fourth album is his first project under his label. He announced on Instagram the date, dropping a video of a stone carver, Dutch sculptor Athar Jabar, working on what seems to be his cover art. 

Jabar said the project required a careful approach, given Asake’s public profile 

“Working on the likeness of someone whose presence is so widely recognised brings a particular responsibility,” Jabar said. “That’s why, for this sculpture of Asake, I chose the prestigious Statuario marble from Carrara, Italy, and carved the entire piece by hand, following traditional methods without the use of power tools, in a slow and deliberate process.

It was a real pleasure to carve a portrait bust of Asake, and an honour to contribute to this moment in his career, as well as to a lasting record of his image in marble.”

Among the 13 tracks are previously released singles such as “Worship,” a collaboration with DJ Snake, “Why Love” “Badman Gangsta.”  

M$NEY continues his blend of Fuji-inspired vocals, Amapiano rhythms, and Afrobeats.
