CLAIM: Jaja Ichuli went ahead of time and made comments about what would transpire at Levixone and Desire Luzinda’s introduction.

TikTok videos purported to be made by the late social media critic and vlogger Tusuubira Ibrahim Lubega, commonly known as Jaja Ichuli or Isma Olaxess, have recently been circulating on social media platforms—especially TikTok—with the claim that the late vlogger, who was shot dead on 6th May 2023, commented about events that would happen in the future.
Background and Context:
In the past couple of years since his demise, several videos have circulated online whenever significant events occur in the country. Most of these videos bear a strong resemblance to the style of videos regularly published by the late Isma, fueling the notion that he went ahead of time and commented on events that would later unfold in the near future—even after his death. The most recent circulating video carries the same narrative, this time about Levixone and Desire Luzinda’s introduction, a popular music couple.
These videos have been released repeatedly, raising a lot of speculation among some people. Many have wondered whether Isma is really dead or if it was a plot twist. Other social media users believe the late vlogger had indeed foreseen how everything would turn out. This belief stems from the fact that the videos appear to speak directly about current events as they are unfolding.
Verification
A step-by-step review of the video shows: The clip features Isma in attire identical to that worn in a past video he made in 2022. We played the purported video and captured a screenshot, which we then used to run a reverse image search. A Google Reverse Image Search of a still image from the video revealed it was from an earlier recording in which Isma was reacting to the Yoya music video released by Levixone and Ray G on 25th July 2022.
In that original video, Isma was not talking about a real-life ceremony. He questioned how a wedding in the music video could take place without the groom’s parents attending.
The circulating clip has been edited to imply that Isma was referring to the recent introduction ceremony.
The introduction ceremony in question took place in August 2025, and the wedding is scheduled for 15th August 2025 — two years after Isma’s death.

Why the claim is false
Timeline mismatch: Isma died in May 2023, long before the August 2025 introduction.
Content mismatch: The original clip discussed a music video wedding scene, not a real-life introduction.
Editing evidence: The attire and setting match the 2022 recording, confirming the clip was repurposed.
Implications of the Claim and Its Impact:
These claims have instilled in social media users the belief that Isma could comment about events ahead of time, creating the impression that he had a view on everything. This is an attempt to drive false narratives, which distorts meaningful debates or conversations on social media. Most people are now constantly on the lookout for “What did Jaja Ichuli say about this?”
There is also an emotional impact on those who knew him or were close to him. The loss of a loved one can be hard to process, and seeing their name and relevance being used to push false narratives can add to this burden.
Conclusion:
The claim that Jaja Ichuli made comments about the recent introduction is unfounded and untrue. Several individuals are picking clips from some of his past comments on events that occurred years back and relating them to current events in order to create a false narrative that the late vlogger knew what would happen in the future.
Final Statement:
The videos circulating on TikTok and several other social media platforms may appear relevant if taken in the context of Jaja Ichuli’s comments on the release of the song Yoya. However, the narrative that he actually spoke about the introduction ceremony which happened this week is not true. They are therefore not worth the hype and attention many have given them.
