The long-simmering rivalry between Kampala socialites Zahara Totto and Prima Kardashi reached a boiling point today during a chaotic press conference.
The media briefing, organized ahead of an upcoming white-collar celebrity boxing match, quickly disintegrated into shouting matches, heavy insults, and near-physical altercations as security personnel struggled to keep the two reality TV stars apart.
The fierce rivals who have a long history of trading barbs on social media and as castmates on the reality show Kampala Creme made it clear their beef is no longer confined to the cameras.
Rumors around their feud have circulated for a while, with some attributing it to a dispute over a man and others describing it simply as long-running bad blood between the two.
The air grew thick with hostility as both women traded verbal jabs, questioning each other’s status and motivations.
“It looks like Zahara Totto and Prima are more than ready for the fight. Tensions are already boiling over at the press conference,” Sanyuka TV’s UnCut team reported.
Observers and fans have noted the rapid escalation raises a broader question about how far public figures will go for clout, with some wondering aloud whether the pursuit of social media relevance is turning entertainers into “savages.”
The press conference follows an actual physical altercation over the weekend at Lugogo Indoor Arena, where the two women were guests of honor tasked with presenting prizes to fans during the Uganda Boxing Champions League fight night. On the sidelines, a heated argument between them escalated into a brief scuffle reportedly nearly turning into a hair-pulling match before their respective entourages pulled them apart.
Following that public brawl, the two have signed on to settle their differences in a structured boxing match.
Some skeptics continue to write the whole saga off as a scripted publicity stunt designed to sell tickets a suspicion that has followed the pair before but the raw anger on display at today’s press conference suggests the punches thrown on fight night may be entirely real.
