Speculation about Irene Ntale's romantic life has swirled for years, with rumors linking her to Laftaz Bar co-founder Jonathan Kyeyo, as well as singers Ray Signature and Toniks, though none of these have ever been confirmed. On Sunday, September 15, Ntale appeared to brush off the recent buzz on X (formerly Twitter), humorously posting, "Have a lovely Sunday friends ????." Was the viral kiss a romantic moment, or simply a scene from an upcoming music video?
### Who is Irene Ntale?
Irene Ntale is a talented Ugandan singer, songwriter, and guitarist, celebrated for her unique sound that fuses RnB, reggae, and acoustic soul. She has graced fans with hits such as *Kyolowoza*, *Gukuba*, and *Stamina Daddy*. Ntale's musical talent has seen her collaborate with some of Uganda’s top artists, including Jose Chameleone on *Easy*, Bebe Cool on *Love Letter*, and Radio & Weasel on the hit song *Bikoola*.
Born on January 30, 1989, Ntale's passion for music began in high school when she joined her church choir and learned to play instruments. By the age of 16, she was already performing with a church band. After studying procurement and logistics management at Kyambogo University, she declined a job offer in Mbale to fully pursue her music career. Her big break came when a hotel manager spotted her talent during a cover performance at Emin Pasha Hotel, leading to a regular gig. In 2012, Ntale's star caught the eye of Swangz Avenue, and she officially joined the label in 2013.
