We are writing this so that his bosses at Super FM can hear our pleas and save him before anything bad happens to one of the best DJ's this country has ever produced. It has been put on record that veteran DJ, Rasta Rob has never missed a day without hopping on the 'two legged' ride. A snoop told us; "He has made Bodas his only means of transport. In fact to cement his commitment, he has a boda boda fella at most of the stages in and outside Kampala." The recent sighting was near Kisekka Market where the veteran singer had gone to shop for mivumba. "You could easily mistake him for one of the unknown fellas in town. He was donning not so clean sandals(nigina) and since it had just rained, mud was all over him." Apparently, he tried hiding his face under a cap but snoops recognized him and called out his name. He just smiled, waved at them and off he sped off patched on a boda boda. It should be remembered that the 'Bamusakata' singer left Uganda for a Kyeyo stint abroad but things didn't work out as he had anticipated. He decided to cut his losses short and came back home. He is now trying to rebuild himself. Now over to his employers to save him from the boda scourge. Thursday, March 03 2011
Super FM evening presenter Rasta Rob has snubbed putting on trousers. Since his return from his failed UK Kyeyo stint, Rasta Rob has rarely been spotted in trouser. According to snoops he has instead decided to put on shorts. "Even when he is going for a high profile party, the man is always in a pair of jean shorts!. We wonder if he didn't come back with any trouser" the source added. His workmates at the Rubaga based station can testify to that. So over to you Rasta Rob; do you own any trouser or your legs ate too cute for girls to look at? Beware of bum drillers though! Friday, November 06 2009
Ever since he returned from the United Kingdom where he had stayed for ages, radio star Robert Ogwal aka Rasta Rob has been living a quiet life apart from his supersonic show on Super FM. But looks like the fella is getting back in the public. Word reaching our desk indicates that Rasta Rob has landed a deal with East African Breweries. The fella will be the MC at all Uganda Waragi activations that are set to rock the nation. The first activation will be tomorrow at Lumumba Avenue based bar Steak Out which same night will feature Kenyan star DJ Styles and RS Elvis. Wednesday, June 24 2009
Veteran Musician and Radio DJ Robert Ogwal aka Rasta Rob aka Master Robo is currently poorer than a church mouse, our snoops can reveal. After trying out different things including being a lowly paid DJ at Club T1 and MC at various clubs, it looks like things are not getting any better for Rasta Rob. The faded singer has been smoked out in several occasions hopefully queueing at Kitante Based British High Commission and our snoops have learnt he's grassing terribly and has decide to run back to the UK. Apparently things re too hot in Uganda and he is no longer recognized as there's lots of new boys in the music industry nowadays. Tuesday, March 24 2009
Denis Rackla and Rasta Rob are not seeing eye to eye after Rasta Rob snatched a city gal only identified as Shafinah from him. ''Rasta Rob has the fame and can get almost all the gals he wants. Shafinah is certainly one of them and this has not gone down well with Rackla. He has been dating the gal and always knew they would go on to produce kids and live happily thereafter. Rasta Rob has put a stop to it, Its sad!'' Rackla is furious and will not let Shafinah go like that. Rasta Rob has even stopped playing Rackla's music on his supersonic show at Super Fm.

Forget the Rasta Rob of yesterday who used to charge millions of shillings before doing any deejaying work for anyone. Word reaching our desk indicates that he has been employed as the DJ at the just opened T1 Club where he is supposed to be the DJ for the oldies night every last Friday of the month. Now what is amusing is that Rasta Rob is paid a paltry 100K only. However the reason he could have accepted the deal for such little money, snoops have come to learn could be totally different. We hear while at T1, Rasta Robbo has been getting very close and personal with a renowned city sugar mummy, one of those women who have made their money from Dubai. She is a hajat and our snoops have so far been able to identify her as hajat Sarah. We hear Rasta Rob met her in London on one of her frequent trips there. The duo used to hit Pier One together and when Rasta Rob shifted to Uganda, the two have been seen together on so many occasions that snoops have been left wondering what is going on.

Peter Sematimba has grabbed Rasta Rob from Sudhir shortly before signing the contract. Peter Sematimba is currently in the USA but that is where he faxed the contract for Rasta Rob (now Master Rob) which did not only include a job of some millions like it was the case with other radio stations, but it had a share holding deal attached to it. Master Rob signed very fast the contract was faxed back. He will start his show on 1.Aug.2008. More on Radio news, the latest radio on Uganda Airwaves, Bukedde FM is poaching on other radio stations and robbing them of talented comedians and presenters. Beat FM and Radio Simba have been affected in the process.
