Tamara Kainembabazi on Kampala Crème fame: 'Everyone suddenly remembers they're related to me'

Tamara Kainembabazi, the latest addition to the reality television series Kampala Crème, is grappling with the unexpected surge of attention since her face began appearing on billboards across the city. She admits to still being in a state of disbelief, often doing a double-take whenever she spots her own image.

“It is surreal because it is something you dream about but never really expect to happen,” Tamara shared, indicating that the newfound fame is yet to fully sink in. She also humorously noted that if she were to get her hands on the alleged “trunk money” featured on the show, her first purchase would undoubtedly be a Rolls-Royce.

Beyond the material desires, Tamara highlighted the significant impact her rising profile has had on her personal life, particularly concerning family and friends. “Oh, 100 percent, yes,” she confirmed when asked if her ‘black tax’ – the financial obligations often faced by successful individuals within their extended families and communities – had increased. “Suddenly everyone remembers they are related to you, know you, or have always supported you.”

When discussing the authenticity of Kampala Crème, Tamara suggested a balance between genuine interactions and occasional performances for the camera. She also offered her perspective on Kampala’s dating scene, describing it as predominantly characterized by confusion, with intentions and vibes emerging only after a considerable period of uncertainty.

Tamara also weighed in on who she would rather invite to an ultimate girls’ night out between Sheebah and Cindy, opting for Sheebah due to her perceived ability to energize a room. She also touched upon the often-underestimated effort involved in ‘looking effortless’ on camera, citing outfits, makeup, hair, and lighting as crucial elements.

Her controversial opinion? That men are good people, though she humorously added a caveat that the truly good ones are scarce, a statement she anticipates would spark debate. Tamara also confessed to realizing the appeal of Kampala’s social scene, admitting she used to judge those who always wanted to go out but now understands the allure, despite acknowledging its draining nature on both finances and energy.
