In the recent past, Kamurasi, aged 80 years, came to local and international attention after the death of his nephew, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, on August 27, 2026.
Close family revealed that Oyo, as he is fondly known, succumbed to cancer at a hospital in Dallas, Texas, in the United States of America.

Kamurasi led the traditional mourning, funeral rites, and the controversial succession deliberations at the Karuzika Royal Palace in Fort Portal, which attracted significant public and political attention.
Amid contention, he declared 56-year-old Edward Kijanangoma as a suitable heir to his cousin Oyo.
Kamurasi, Tooro's Chief Prince and supreme head of the Babiito royal clan, has since become a "celebrity", with his title (Musuga) becoming a household name for bravery.
