Singer Ava Peace has come out to tell the public that the explicit videos moving around on social media are not her. The 26-year-old artist, known for songs like ‘Who Was Here’ and her work with Black Market Records, posted a message early Wednesday to clear her name.
She said the woman in those videos does not look like her. According to Ava, the face is different and the body size is different. “Even a fool can see that it ain’t my face,” she said. She also said she has never been that size in her life.
Ava said she is tired of people linking her to things she did not do. She called the people behind it “forces of evil” because they want to destroy her name. She has worked hard for years to build her music career and her reputation. Now one fake video is trying to break all that in a few seconds.
She also asked fans and all Ugandans to stop sharing videos before they know the truth. “I’m never unnecessarily bothered by internet drama but for this one it’s too much,” she wrote. She thanked people who reached out to her directly to ask if it was really her.
Ava later appeared on a morning radio show where she spoke calmly about the issue. She looked composed and focused on her work. She said she believes that truth will win in the end because “God’s Fair Hand won’t prevail”.
Why This Matters To Every Ordinary Ugandan
This story is not only about Ava Peace. It is about you and me.
Today it is a famous singer. Tomorrow it can be your sister, your brother, your neighbor, or you. All it takes is one person to take a random video, put your name on it, and press share.
In Uganda, your name is your wealth. For a market vendor, customers stop buying from you when rumors spread. For a teacher, parents start asking questions. For a student, friends start laughing. For a married person, home becomes tense.
Once a video goes viral, it is very hard to remove the shame. Even when you prove it is not you, people will still say “but I saw it”. Deleting the video does not delete what people already believe.
Ava’s message is simple for every Ugandan with a phone: Stop. Look. Think before you share.
Ask yourself three questions before you forward anything:
Is this really the person they say it is?
Would I want this done to my own family member?
Am I helping or am I hurting someone’s life with this click?
The Damage Of False Rumors
We all know how fast gossip moves in Uganda. From Kampala to Gulu, from Mbale to Mbarara. WhatsApp groups, Facebook, TikTok – news moves faster than truth.
When you share a fake video, you become part of the problem. You help destroy someone’s career, their marriage, their peace of mind. You give power to people who enjoy hurting others online for likes and comments.
Ava Peace said it clearly: the details do not match. If the face is different and the body is different, then it is not her. It should be that simple. But online, many people do not check. They just share because it is trending.
What We Should Learn From This
There are people online whose job is to spread lies. They edit videos. They use other people’s faces. They want to make money or just enjoy seeing others suffer. We must be smarter than them.
If you are a blogger, a radio presenter, a WhatsApp group admin, or just someone with many followers, you have a bigger responsibility. When you share unverified content, thousands of people believe it is true. Use your platform to teach people to verify, not to destroy.
Ava Peace is asking for respect and for responsible use of social media. She is not saying “do not talk about me”. She is saying “talk about the truth”.
The Bottom Line
Ava Peace has denied the videos. She has given reasons anyone can see – different face, different body. She has asked Ugandans to stop spreading things that are not verified.
This is a reminder to all of us. Before you share that video, pause for 5 seconds. Remember that behind every name is a real person with feelings, with a family, with a future.
A name that takes 20 years to build should not be broken in 20 seconds because of one wrong share.
Let us choose truth over trends. Let us choose respect over rumors. Because today it is Ava Peace, but tomorrow it can be any one of us.
