After that, Namubiru went to the Airways Tourism and Hotel Institute, Stendhal University in Grenoble, France, and then Cavendish University in Uganda.Namubiru met Juliana Kanyomozi, another Ugandan performing artist who was also at Namasagali College at the same time as her, and they became friends.

Irene Gladys Namubiru – Music career

Irene Namubiru says she's loved singing since she was a child and has always tried to make it a bigger part of her life.

In 1995, she joined singer-rapper DJs Ragga Dee and Molar-Messe as part of the group Da Homies. She also worked with "Joss Jew" Mawejje as a studio arranger and keyboardist to help release a series of singles, including the group's hits "Bamusakata," "Mukwano," and "Mukyala tokaba."

Learn to Say Goodbye, her first single, was also on the group's next album, which got a lot of praise. In September 1995, she made her first stage appearance not long after that.In 1999, she joined forces with Kanyomozi, a friend from Namasagali College, to make the R&B all-girl group I-Jay. In 2000, they put out an album with seven songs called Wait. It had the songs Wait RMX (with Steve Jean), Not Good Enough, Mwana, Wait, Emirimu, Vivi LA, and Two to Make it True. This was played on Ugandan radio stations, but not too much.

Soon after their record came out, Namubiru moved to France, and the group broke up. People later thought that the two broke up because they didn't get along, but both of them said that wasn't true.While she was in France, she and Julien Grout made the Afro-Soul group Nujeli and put out an LP called ENSI.

This record had the songs "Nsangi 3:44, Desurrection 5:36, Baami Baffe 4:20, Twins Play 3:42, Our illness 4:51, Eko 3:26, Tuzze 2:21, Pleasures' Garden 3:40, Espirit es-tu la? 3:46, Voler 5:20, and the title track "Ensi."

But Namubiru didn't become well-known until 2006, when she put out the album "Nkuweeki." This was the start of her quick rise to become one of Uganda's best female musicians.

Iryn Namubiru has had a lot of success with songs like "Y'ono" and "Birowoozo" since 2006. These songs have helped her win several top awards in Uganda's music industry.

Namubiru had her best year ever in 2011 when she won in four categories at the Pearl of Africa Music (PAM) Awards. She won Artist of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best R&B Single of the Year.

Iryn Gladys Namubiru – Controversy

People who don't like Namubiru have said that she dresses "inappropriately" in her music videos and, sometimes, at her concerts. Critics say that her outfits go against the traditional way of dressing in Uganda and set a bad example for other musicians who want to be like her.

In 2009, a lot of people, including some of her fans, said that the swimming suit she wore in the video for the hugely popular song "Bonna Obasinga" was too revealing.

She decided to make a new video for the song later to make her critics happy. But many of her fans defended her "creative" way of dressing and said that the people who said that were still socially backward and unwilling to try new styles.Also, in 2019, singer Namubiru said that the young rapper Fresh Kid disgusts her and that she doesn't even listen to his music because he doesn't act like the child he is and instead invades adult spaces.

Namubiru says she saw the young rapper for the first time at Comedy Store. She didn't know who he was or why he was there until she saw a group of people walking him to the stage.She says that she thinks Fresh Kid is talented but that he should hang out with people his age because he won't stop adults from talking. She also says that the way he tries to sound like adult artists in interviews disgusts her.

She has also told the "Bambi" rapper that now that he goes to a school for "refined" kids, he will soon realize that his style is not cool and that he will need therapy when he grows up and realizes what he is doing now.

Namubiru also made fun of one of the rapper's songs in which he says that people don't take him seriously because he is young. In the song, he says that people don't take him seriously because he is only 7. Namubiru said that if he were her child, she would still be holding him on her lap at that age.

Irene Gladys Namubiru: Japan Arrest

On May 3, 2013, Irene Gladys Namubiru was arrested in Tokyo, Japan, where she had gone to perform at a music concert. She was accused of having illegal drugs on her person. Namubiru was taken into custody at the Narita International Airport in Tokyo before she went on stage at the concert.According to reports, her fans, who were said to be Ugandans living in Japan, heard about her arrest at the concert and went to the airport to help her. However, the Japanese Police told them that Namubiru was traveling on a French passport and that they couldn't help her because of this. Namubiru later asked the French Embassy in Japan for help.

Namubiru had been tweeting about how excited she was to perform in Japan in the week before she was arrested. The concert was going to happen at the Yotsukaido Cultural Hall in Tokyo, which is the capital of Japan.

Namubiru was found with 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine, also known as ecstasy. The drug was hidden in her luggage.

She was taken from the Tokyo airport detention center to a police station in Central Tokyo. There, she gave a statement about having MDMA, also known as "ecstasy," which is illegal in Japan. However, she said she didn't know anything about the drug.

At a hearing on May 24, 2013, in Japan, the court did not find her guilty of drug trafficking charges because the evidence provided by the state was not enough to link the star to the level of a drug dealer. Since the court found Namubiru to be innocent, police in Japan had her cleared of drug trafficking charges and set free.
