Bebe Cool Criticizes Promoters For Favoring Lesser – Known Nigerians Over Ugandan Talents

One of Uganda’s legendary singers Big Size Bebe Cool has come out to hit hard at promoters in Uganda who have made it a habit to promoting foreign talent over Ugandans.

This was after the recent performance of Nigerian singer Fireboy DML over the weekend.

Fireboy’s only main popular song is Peru and its the one he’s been riding on. However, huge monies were invested in him to come and perform in the country.

And with this, they always pay him huge chunks of money. Almost five times they give the biggest Ugandan singer here.

This is something that the Gagamel boss feels is unbecoming and so wrong. According to Bebe Cool, when an artist rises in Uganda, all promoters do is tarnish and destroy his image.

“I don’t know why this habit has continued to go ahead of hiring even the smallest of Nigerian singers to come and perform in Uganda at very high rates. This industry is full of people who don’t wish others well.

When a Ugandan artist makes a hit, bloggers are paid by these promoters to tarnish and kill their brand but they always run after these Nigerians. And you don’t see the favor being repaid back by Nigerian promoters, not even giving our music airplay,” a furious Bebe Cool said.

This is something the Katono singer and other singers have for long been calling upon to be rectified.

Ugandan promoters have brought a lot of Nigerian singers with just a handful of hits into the country. This is all at the expense of well-established Ugandans.

The likes of Chike, Ruger, Omah Lay and Tems all have come to Uganda and they  paid them heavily even when undeserving.

Apparently, the Buy Uganda Build Uganda slogan doesn’t only stop at commodities but services too such as leisure.

But being a capitalistic environment, promoters will always put their money where they think they will earn regardless of the impact.
