American R&B star and Hollywood actor Tyrese Gibson has officially announced his upcoming visit to Uganda, exciting his fans across the country. The Fast & Furious actor will be attending the inaugural Africa Coffee Festival, scheduled to take place from October 10 to 12, 2025, in Ntungamo District, Southwestern Uganda.

Taking to Instagram, Tyrese confirmed the news, putting an end to speculation about his trip. “Rumor has it. I’m on my way to Uganda. If you’re looking for confirmation, it’s true!” he wrote, sparking enthusiasm among his followers.

Celebrating Coffee and Culture in Uganda

Tyrese’s visit is part of a broader initiative to celebrate Africa’s rich coffee heritage and promote economic empowerment within the coffee industry. During his stay, he is expected to engage with local communities, share insights, and enjoy Uganda’s renowned coffee culture.

Beyond the festival, the singer has also pledged his support for the upcoming Coffee Marathon on May 24, 2025, an initiative dedicated to empowering rural women involved in coffee production. These women play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and sustainability of the coffee industry.

Tyrese Gibson is a globally recognized artist, known for hit songs such as “How You Gonna Act Like That,” “Sweet Lady,” “Stay,” “Lately,” and “I Need”. In addition to his music career, he has cemented his place in Hollywood, gaining fame for his role as Roman Pearce in the Fast & Furious series, along with appearances in numerous other films.

Africa Coffee Festival Gains Continental Recognition

The Africa Coffee Festival has received official backing from African leaders, including the African Union First Vice Chairperson and Angolan President João Lourenço. The event, unveiled during the African Union’s Extraordinary Summit on the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) in Kampala, carries the theme “Africa Renaissance: Chapter One Coffee.”

With participants expected from across the continent and beyond, the festival aims to showcase coffee’s significance as both a unifying cultural symbol and a major economic force for African nations. Uganda, one of the world’s leading coffee producers, is set to take center stage as it welcomes international guests, including Tyrese Gibson, for this groundbreaking event.
