In the widely circulated episode, Prima is seen in a heated moment with fellow cast member Zahara Totto, confidently declaring, “By the end of this year, I’ll be upper than you.”

While the statement was grammatically incorrect, her message was clear: she believes she will surpass Zahara in terms of lifestyle and luxury by the year’s end.

Following backlash on social media, Prima addressed the criticism with humor. “I stopped in Senior 6. I’m a Senior 6 dropout. Is it a dropout or…? [she laughs] Does that make me a dropout or I’m still considered vaccist?” she joked, owning up to her academic background with confidence.

She continued by urging the public to show understanding, pointing out that English is not her first language. “I am not White, I am an African; a typical Ugandan,” she said.

“Even you guys saying I don’t know English would be nervous if they pointed the camera at you. Some of you have even studied when you’re already old… likes of 38 or 40 years old and you’re the same people judging us for not speaking good English or being educated enough.”

Prima, who is 30 years old, said that she still has the opportunity to return to school and improve herself, something she says she is open to doing. She also encouraged others to embrace their journeys and not be discouraged by critics.

“I’m proud of myself for sitting on the same table with people who have degrees,” she said, stressing that education, while important, should not be the only measure of a person’s worth or capability.
