From Bobby East Scandal to Brian Kapyanga Case
Zambian social media personality Ruth Mukanga, better known as Ruth Ronnie, is back in the spotlight—this time for dragging her 25-year-old ex-boyfriend, Brian Kapyanga, to court over serious assault charges. Ruth alleges that Brian was abusive, torturing her physically, mentally, and emotionally, while also threatening to leak her private content online.
But for many Zambians, this story feels like déjà vu. Years back, Ruth Ronnie was at the center of controversy when an obscene video with rapper Bobby East surfaced online—one of the most talked-about scandals in Zambian entertainment. Now, fans are asking: will fate strike again if Brian goes through with his threats?
Ruth Ronnie told the court that Brian not only laid hands on her but also weaponized her private life by threatening to leak intimate material. For a woman who has already faced the humiliation of a leaked tape in the past, this threat cuts deep. The fear of history repeating itself has left many sympathizers rallying behind her while critics remind her of the past scandal.
