Bruno K Breaks Records with Debut TikTok Show: 34K Viewers and $2,000 in Gifts

Ugandan singer Bruno K has made a dramatic entry into the solo digital broadcasting space, raking in over $2,000 (approximately UGX 20 million) in TikTok gifts, pledges, and contributions during the premiere of his debut TikTok live show.

The show, which aired last night, came shortly after Bruno K’s public split from former co-host Crysto Panda.

The two had been working together on the popular Champanya TikTok live show, but parted ways allegedly due to financial disagreements stemming from the proceeds of the recent Champanya Festival.

Despite the breakup, Bruno K’s first solo outing was a resounding success. “Yesterday was memorable. Team Bruno K, you spoke, and your power was felt,” he posted, celebrating the milestone. “34k people watching live, 27 million likes, and 2,000 USD worth of TikTok gifts — never has it happened in the TikTok history of Uganda. Ekiboozi to the world. Victory belongs to Jesus.”

In addition to the TikTok gifts, Bruno also received monetary pledges from fans, some of which he plans to use to upgrade from his current Toyota Passo to a new car — a goal openly supported by his followers.

Bruno K has announced that his TikTok show will now run three times a week — every Monday, Friday, and Saturday.
