Papa Cidy, real name Hamidu Sekyeru, a Longtime Leone Island singer has all-but ruled out any slim opportunity of returning to his homeland, Uganda following his recent admission of being a part of the LGBTQ Pride movement.
During a TikTok live session, Papa Cidy revealed that he feels completely at ease living the life he always dreamed of in the United Kingdom, where he currently resides.
He emphasized that the UK offers him the freedom to be himself, a liberty he does not believe exists in Uganda.
In his post he shared on Tuesday on his Facebook page, the 38-year-old singer expressed his exhaustion with hiding his identity, stating that it’s time for him to “be out.”
In a move that has sparked mixed reactions from netizens, especially his fans, Papa Cidy tagged Pastor Kayanja and Miracle Center Cathedral, adding further intrigue to the revelation.
His post concluded with the inclusion of the rainbow flag, a widely recognized symbol of LGBTQ pride.
“Am tired of hiding myself, it’s time to be out. Pastor Kayanja ebyaffe obimanyi. Miracle Center Cathedral,” Papa Cidy wrote, hinting at a long-hidden truth.
For many fans and followers, this revelation came as a surprise, especially considering the cultural backdrop in Uganda, where LGBTQ issues remain highly contentious. Discussions have already started online, with reactions ranging from support to criticism.
Since relocating to the diaspora, Papa Cidy has largely stayed out of the limelight, but this recent revelation has quickly brought him back into the public eye, sparking a variety of opinions and fueling an ongoing conversation about LGBTQ visibility in Ugandan society.
