The internet is ablaze with rumors following the dramatic breakup of Teso’s iconic singer, Simple Bullet, from the Icon Gang Music team, and his ex-girlfriend, Black is Gold. Fans have quickly pointed to a deep-rooted cultural taboo involving chicken, which many believe led to the couple's split after a visit to Simple Bullet's village.

Black is Gold took to Facebook to vent her frustration, posting, "I TRIED MY BEST FOR THIS TO WORK BUT HE'S NOT FOR KEEPS BUT FOR THE STREETS." Her emotional post only added fuel to the speculation surrounding their troubled relationship.

In a viral video, Black is Gold disclosed that after the breakup, she had initially left behind the bar she had opened for Simple Bullet, along with other items. However, she later decided to return to collect the remaining property after being told by the singer to come back. She brought along her mother and a carpenter to help retrieve the belongings, some of which, like a mattress and a bed, were given away to neighbors.

The breakup has sparked a storm of reactions, with many pointing to a Teso superstition that unmarried lovers should not eat chicken together at one's ancestral home before traditional marriage ceremonies.

In an earlier video, Black is Gold was seen boiling chicken at Simple Bullet’s village home over a firewood stove, further fueling the cultural debate. According to Teso beliefs, consuming chicken before marriage can bring misfortune, including relationship breakups—a superstition many fans are convinced is at the root of their separation.

While some have speculated that this could be a publicity stunt ahead of Simple Bullet’s upcoming music release, most fans aren’t convinced. Social media has since been flooded with warnings, advising couples to keep their love lives private to avoid potential backlash.

To further indicate the finality of the split, Simple Bullet has deleted all photos and videos of Black is Gold from his social media accounts, marking the end of what was once a high-profile romance.

With the chicken taboo now at the center of the breakup saga, fans are left wondering whether this is a mere coincidence or a cultural curse playing out in real-time.
