Musician Bebe Cool was among the performers at fellow musician Eddy Kenzo’s Kololo festival and while on stage, he did not have kind words for Nigerian artistes.
According to the Gagamel boss it is time for Ugandans to embrace local entertainers.
“We are tired of Nigerian artistes coming here and act as though they have more fans from here. I implore everyone who has come and supported Kenzo to also come and support my little brother Jose Chameleone for his Gwanga Mujje concert next year at cricket oval,” said Bebe Cool.
The Boss Lady singer’s remarks were premised on the fact that three Nigerian artistes were in Uganda to perform at weekend music shows in Kampala.
They include Ada Ehi, a gospel artiste who had a concert at Hockey Grounds, Ladipoe who performed at Nomad bar and Oxlade who was supposed to perform at the Big show concert at Cricket oval but didn’t because he never received his payment.
This year alone, Uganda has hosted over eight Nigerian artistes in different concerts including Tiwa Savage, Chike, Ruger, Rema, Adekunle Gold, Ayra Starr, Kizz Daniel and Fire Boy with Yemi Alade coming soon for Blankets and Wine.
