Roy Tumwizere, the Guinness brand manager, said, "What we have always stood for as a brand is exactly this—inclusivity, collaboration, and celebrating people doing extraordinary things. I am very happy that we got to do all that and more in tonight’s edition of the Bright House.

"We got to celebrate and highlight vitiligo, a condition that many Ugandans are not well-versed with. With June being Vitiligo Awareness Month, it was an important moment for us as Guinness to shine a light on that."

The evening concluded with a performance by Azawi, who delighted the audience with both new and old tracks, including "My Year," "Lo Fit," "Repeat It," "Quinamino," "10 over 10," "Summer Bae," "Bamututte," "Party Mood," "Slow Dancing," and "Majje."
