Renowned Ugandan Chef Mama D has come under fire after online critics accused her of running a fraudulent fundraising campaign.
The initiative, which aimed to cover what she described as a crippling hospital bill, reportedly raised 6 million Ugandan shillings from concerned citizens eager to help.
In a heated response to the allegations, Mama D dismissed the claims as baseless and declared that anyone who felt deceived was welcome to request a refund.
She insisted she was fully prepared to return the contributions in full.
Despite her statement, her defiant tone appeared to further inflame public opinion, sparking widespread debate about the integrity of personal fundraising appeals on social media.
The incident has cast a shadow over online giving, raising broader concerns about accountability and transparency in digital fundraisers.
