It was no ordinary Friday night at Noni Vie — the trendy Kampala hotspot turned into a glitzy battleground of wallets and wits as two diaspora divas locked horns in a jaw-dropping liquor showdown!
Socialite Juliet Zawedde, the stylish Ugandan money boss from the United States, had initially rolled in with a full-blown entourage to celebrate her birthday party. Known for her loud fashion, louder crew, and even louder receipts, Zawedde sparked the fire with a jaw-dropping order of premium bottles that had the entire VIP section gasping. From Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) to Dom Pérignon Rosé, it was clear she came to dominate.
But just as the crowd started chanting her name, in walked the storm from London — Dr. Sharon, the no-nonsense, sharp-tongued UK-based queen who’s been turning Kampala’s nightlife upside down since she jetted in.
Not one to be outshone, Sharon made her grand entrance flanked by designer bags, an all-female security detail (yes, seriously), and dropped an immediate 30 million shilling tab just to set the tone. Word is, she “wanted Zawedde to know the UK pounds hit harder!”
Tables shook. Waiters sprinted. And what followed was a drink-by-drink flex-off that had onlookers screaming and phones filming. Sources say over UGX 80 million was splashed that night — with both parties refusing to back down.
“It was like watching Floyd Mayweather and Rihanna in a bar brawl — but with bottles,” said one stunned reveler.
By 5 AM, the bar was dry, Noni Vie’s staff were exhausted, and Kampala had a new urban legend.
Who won? Opinions are divided.
Who lost? Definitely anyone else trying to party quietly that night.
One thing’s for sure: Zawedde vs Sharon is the money-fueled feud Kampala didn’t know it needed — and now can’t stop talking about.
Tanzanian singer Bushoke graced the mega bash that is now branded ‘The Party of the Year’.
