The news, initially circulated by blogger Cutie Julls, claimed that the wife of the king was struggling for her life abroad after undergoing a BBL surgery that did not go as planned.
The blog mentioned that “One of the very famous Kabiyesi’s Olori” was in critical condition in an undisclosed location.
