"People power": Bobi Wine's son wows US audience with speech, netizens react

This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.

- Shadrack Mbogo, the third-born son of Ugandan singer-politician Bobi Wine, stepped up to the microphone at a formal indoor event in Los Angeles

- The teenager read from Psalm 42 with striking composure, drawing a warm response from those present at the gathering

- A video of the moment circulated on Instagram, catching the attention of thousands of fans who know his father's dramatic story

A video of Bobi Wine's son delivering a moving Bible reading at an indoor event in Los Angeles has been making the rounds on Instagram, and fans cannot stop talking about how well the young man carried himself.

Shadrack Mbogo, who introduced himself as the third-born child of Honourable Robert Kyagulanyi, better known as Bobi Wine, stood at a lectern in what appeared to be a conference or hotel meeting room on 16 August 2026.

What did Bobi Wine's son do?

Speaking into a handheld wireless microphone before a seated audience, he opened with a call of "people power" before calmly reading from Psalm 42, verses 1 to 11.

Bobi Wine is one of Uganda's most recognisable figures, a celebrated musician who transformed into a formidable political voice and ran against long-serving President Yoweri Museveni in the 2021 presidential election.

The aftermath of that contest was turbulent, with Bobi Wine and his family facing serious security threats. The family subsequently relocated outside Uganda, with the children based in the United States.

The footage shows Mbogo reciting the psalm with steady confidence, his voice calm and deliberate as he delivered lines including:

"As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me continually, 'Where is your God?'"

Watch Mbogo Shadrach deliver the psalm reading in Los Angeles:

The clip drew a flood of admiring comments from supporters across Africa and beyond, many praising both the young man and his parents.

@tumuhimbissepromisse said:

"Great one, First son 💗."

@mrs_shan_2026 kept it short:

"This boy is so good."

"Everything aside, these kids have grown soooooo well!!! Well done to the parents!"

@lyon_j_vaughan had this to say:

"I love Mbogo Shadrack keeping shining and making Hon Kyagulanyi and mum proud again and again. Big up young man."

@lethaboalizea offered a comparison within the family:

"Shadrack is the real deal compared to his elder brother Kampala. Shadrack is more composed."

@kle6x put the moment in broader perspective:

"Many of us here will reason this way just because Robert Kyagulanyi is out of the country and his kids, but you won't reason the factor of safety cause we are living in a jealous world. Can u be led by a dead leader? After that, you will have most of your illiterate questions answered."

@l3eoonn cheekily asking: "What has Chameleon's one done? 😂😂"

The video serves as a quiet reminder that even far from home, the Kyagulanyi children are growing up firmly in the public eye.
