Musician Ziza Bafana has questioned Ugandans’ support for local artists, arguing that many fans appear more protective of foreign musicians than their own.
Bafana’s remarks follow criticism directed at fellow musician King Saha after he claimed that Nigerian superstars Wizkid and Burna Boy had fallen off, sparking reactions from fans who disagreed with his assessment.
Reacting to the backlash, Bafana wondered why Ugandans were so offended by comments about foreign artists, suggesting that King Saha could have been joking.
“Now that you got pissed because King Saha discussed your favourite artists, so somebody talking about non-Ugandan artists hurts that deeply? Now what if he was kidding?” Bafana questioned.
He further criticized Ugandans for passionately defending foreign musicians despite what he described as a lack of direct benefit from doing so.
“It’s funny how Ugandans try so hard to defend artists whom they don’t benefit from. The man threw a stone in a beehive and it got all the tall and short venting. I swear, I realised Ugandans don’t love their own artists,” he added.
