Shakib Cham makes DJ debut at "One night With Shakib Cham" victory party

On Thursday night, July 9, 2026, socialite Shakib Cham Lutaaya made headlines once again as he hosted "One Night With Shakib Cham" at the Black Panther Lounge along Kisota Road in Bukoto-Kisaasi.

The event served as both his official DJ debut and a grand victory party celebrating his recent boxing win in Nairobi, where he scored a spectacular second-round technical knockout against Kenyan artist Arrow Bwoy at the Vurugu 2 event.

Shakib stunned the packed crowd with a dramatic "Chris Brown-inspired" aerial entrance, descending from the ceiling in an astronaut-like suit before taking over the DJ booth to deliver a high-energy set.

The night also featured performances from Nigerian star Jay Willz, who flew in specially for the event, and Uganda's "Fire Baby" Winnie Nwagi, while Kampala's elite socialites and influencers, including Kin Bella and Shakira Shakiraa, turned up looking flawless in premium designer outfits, effectively turning the venue into a high-fashion runway.

Shakib's journey has become the talk of East Africa as he strategically transforms himself from "Zari's husband" into an independent entertainment powerhouse.

He began in the fashion industry managing upscale boutiques, which helped him build networks and refine his style, before moving into celebrity boxing, a calculated risk that brought him massive visibility even after early losses in Kampala.

His highly publicized fights, boosted by wife Zari Hassan, have helped reshape local boxing culture and prove his grit.

Now, with DJing, Shakib has found the perfect convergence of his fashion background and crowd appeal, securing a direct stake in the nightlife industry while maintaining headline status.

Interestingly, while Kenyans have embraced Shakib as a fearless underdog and celebrated his sporting win, Ugandan audiences have remained more skeptical, traditionally demanding more effort before fully honoring a hometown star.

With "One Night With Shakib Cham," however, it is clear that Shakib is determined to win over both the crowd and the culture.
