Renowned Ugandan socialite Shanita Namuyimbwa A.K.A Bad Black, has openly boasted that she has no plans to stop committing fraud a vice she says puts food on her table.
Speaking in a wide-ranging YouTube interview, the controversial personality who served four years at Luzira Prison after a high profile fraud conviction declared she’s “never retired” from scamming and is still looking for new targets.
“I cannot promise that I will stop being a fraud. I’m a con woman and I’m still doing it. I have never retired, and I’m still looking for more deals,” she said.
Bad Black recalled her star-studded 30th birthday bash at Kingdom Kampala in 2019, a red-carpet event many assumed she paid for herself. She says that wasn’t the case.
“A man I met in Dubai paid for everything,” she revealed, adding that the man had never even visited Uganda to see where she lived.,she said .
She also boasted about carrying out “secret missions” without being caught and described how she has refined her methods over time. Where she once routed payments through her own account creating a paper trail she now says funds go straight to her lawyer.
“This time, the money goes straight to my lawyer. Even when I get in trouble, my lawyer cannot be implicated by the law for that,” she said.
Bad Black insisted she has learned from past mistakes and now avoids the traceable steps that once landed her behind bars. She even described using charm and deception across borders — saying a foreign suitor in London could be fooled if she claimed to be from elsewhere.
“My next target will be easy because I will hypnotize him with my charm,” she laughed in the interview.
Her comments come back into the public eye at a time when conversations about online deception, romantic scams and cross-border fraud are growing louder. Bad Black’s frankness may shock many, but it also raises questions about rehabilitation, recidivism and the systems that allow criminal networks to exploit trust.
