Ugandan artiste Bebe Cool has asked a promoter to cancel a show at which currently trending Nigerian singers Tems and Omah Lay are set to perform over the weekend.
According to the poster that we managed to look at, Nigerian singers Omah Lay and Tems are scheduled to perform at an event dubbed The Big Brunch (Afrobeats Edition) on 12th December 2020.
Omah Lay is currently a big hit on the continent for his songs Lo Lo, Damn, Infinity, Bad Influence, My Bebe among others while Tems still trends for Damages, Try Me, and Mr Rebel.

The buildup to the event that has been gaining momentum with influencers on Twitter and other genuine fans creating buzz around it might however not happen.
This is due to Bebe Cool’s big call for the promoter of the event to cancel it. The Gagamel singer made the call through a post on his official Facebook page.
In the post, which he later deleted, Bebe showed concern about how Ugandan artistes have not performed at concerts since March in respect to the set Ministry of Health guidelines against the spread of COVID-19.
He goes on to note that several local artistes are financially bleeding and yet the government has not supported them with compensation despite adhering to the strict guidelines that were placed.
Bebe therefore finds it insane for foreign artistes to come to Uganda and perform at an event where revelers are expected to pay over UGX 50,000 each to attend.

Many of my Ugandan artists are financially struggling and their careers are at stake and then this? NO.
The singer advises the promoter to get the money that is being used to promote the foreign artistes in Uganda to “pay Ugandan artistes only.”
The singer also vows to make every effort to FAIL the event!
Since March, Ugandan artistes have not been able to perform at music shows and concerts which were banned by the government through a directive from the president who cited social gatherings as a huge risk that could facilitate the rapid spread of the Coronavirus.
Despite the public call to open bars and concerts, the government still holds tight on the issue and Bebe wonders how foreign artistes are being exempted from the nation-wide ban.
Songstress Sheebah Karungi yesterday, Tuesday May 17, 2022 recorded a statement at the Uganda Police’s Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) on her reported sexual assault saga.
The “Nwakata Burungi” singer who has been mute ever since she broke the news on her sexual harassment by one of her clients she claimed to be a ‘role-model’ in Uganda, showed up before Tom Magambo, the Director of Uganda Police’s Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID).
According to close sources, Sheebah filed a case of ‘Indecent assault’ against the yet undisclosed person.
The self-proclaimed ‘Swag Mama’ made it clear that the person in question wasn’t journalist Andrew Mwenda.
Sheebah confirmed that instead saboteurs had been falsely passing wrong information to the public pointing to Andrew Mwenda and other government officials.
Sheebah’s thought to seek Police sparked last week by Andrew Mwenda who was being trolled on social media.
I have talked to the director of CID who has agreed to open a case to find out the person who allegedly raped singer Sheeba Kalungi. Police are going to call her and ask her to reveal the offender. Sheeba is being disingenuous in hiding the true rapist as social media lynch me.
The Commander for Land Forces in the UPDF, Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who is also Andrew Mwenda’s close friend assured maximum security to Sheebah in case she feared for her life as she advances seeking justice in this matter.
I have talked to @mkainerugaba who has promised to call Sheeba and offer her all the protection she needs in case she is afraid that revealing the person who raped her would be risky. The singer now has no excuse to fear to collaborate with police to arrest this rapist!
Songstress Sheebah Karungi has refuted social media reports that she was raped.
Last week, Sheebah stormed her social media and revealed how she was sexually molested by yet undisclosed fabled person who had booked her to perform at his private party at his home.
Sheebah’s reports stirred countless of comments from all statuses of people as some introduced the ‘rape’ word into the saga.
However, during her press conference on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 the multi-award-winning female singer declined to have been raped.
Sheebah instead claimed to have been inappropriately touched by the man whose name she still refused to disclose.
However, the “Nkwata Bulungi” singer says that she revealed the right name to the Police CID.
“I was not raped, but those inappropriate touches are the ones that lead to rape. Also, the names of people you have all been circulating on social media are not the ones, I reported the right person to CID,” Sheebah Karungi said.
Sheebah also confirmed to have recorded a statement at the Uganda Police Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID) with help of its director Tom Magambo.
