Singer Ronald Mayinja Reveals That Toxic Social Media Killed His Mother

Veteran musician Ronald Mayinja has revealed that negative public and social media comments are part of what killed his mother. The singer while appearing in an interview with a local TV station said that as a person, he also breaks down despite his celebrity status.

The Doreen singer said that the criticism that has been going on social media affected him mentally. Besides, the singer said that this is too toxic and can even kill a person.

Furthermore, he went ahead to reveal that people used to accuse him that he’s HIV positive. This affected his mother’s health.

At one time she made a comment that has remained with him as she said that she doesn’t want to bury her own child. He, therefore, believes that this was part of what killed his mother prematurely.

Mayinja also rallied upon his fans to come for his show in March at Kampala Serena Hotel so that they can know the real him.

“As a person, social media affected me and it can lead to one’s breakdown. You might think that this is just social media but the comments you make remain there. I remember one time the public accused me of being HIV positive. My mother told me a comment that she didn’t want to look inside the grave of her son. I think this negativity also catalyzed her death. People should try to be humane and I call them to my show to understand the real me,” he said.

The proprietor of the now defunct Eagles Production has faced a turbulent time in the past few years.

This is largely due to his political meandering. From his music, he had always been a formidable government critic. He went ahead to join forces with Bobi Wine, then quickly fled to NRM.

After that, he self-exiled himself before returning and becoming acquaintances with Alien Skin. All the time he has been facing backlash on social media especially from NUP supporters calling him a sellout.
