Ugandan music star David Lutalo has openly encouraged men to address paternity matters while they are still alive, saying that DNA testing should not be feared when the goal is to establish the truth. The singer believes such steps can prevent painful conflicts and uncertainty for families in the future.Speaking during an interview with Spark TV, Lutalo pointed to the ongoing controversy surrounding the late musician Paul Kafeero’s estate as a powerful lesson.
He noted that disputes over parentage can create divisions long after a person has passed away, leaving loved ones caught in lengthy battles.According to Lutalo, men from all walks of life—not just celebrities—should consider resolving any doubts about paternity early enough. He stressed that conducting DNA tests is a responsible decision that can provide clarity and protect families from unnecessary disagreements.The singer maintained that seeking the truth through scientific means should never be viewed negatively. In his opinion, confirming biological relationships is an important step toward ensuring fairness and transparency among relatives and beneficiaries.
Lutalo also defended the controversial decision to exhume Paul Kafeero’s remains for DNA testing. He argued that the process was necessary to settle lingering questions and determine who rightfully belongs among the late singer’s heirs.He further stated that critics of the exhumation should understand the importance of protecting a deceased person’s legacy. Lutalo believes it would be unfair if individuals who are not biological children benefited from an estate while the rightful heirs were excluded.
Drawing from personal experience, the musician revealed that several people have approached him over the years claiming he fathered their children. In some cases, he said, he had never even met the mothers involved, making verification essential.Because of such encounters, Lutalo declared that any child claimed to be his would undergo DNA testing. He emphasized that life is unpredictable and that he wants all questions regarding his children settled while he is alive, ensuring peace and certainty for future generations.
