Singer Moses Ssali, also known as Bebe Cool has warned his fellow musician, Priscilla Zawedde also known as Azawi to be careful while making political statements.
Bebe Cool said whereas Azawi has a flourishing music career , her political statements might burry the career.
“While fashion may not be her strong suit, her musical prowess more than makes up for it. Congratulations, Azawi. Piece of advice: Stay away from political statements unless you have plans to drop music and join politics. Otherwise, I am the best example,” the Bafudde singer said.
He cited his own example, whose fan base was divided due to his involvement in politics, urging Azawi not to follow in his footsteps.
“The luggage to carry is extremely overweight that it will require your physical, mental, and financial strength to survive and stay in the industry when you have your fans splitting into two. Just for just,” he said.
Last year in July, Azawi blasted government for its use of force on citizens advocating for their rights.
This was in regards the March to Parliament protests where Ugandans showed discontent over corruption at Parliament.
In one of the posts, she asked Police not to use teargas or canes to disrupt the protesters, asking leaders to listen to the issues affecting the majority of Ugandans.
“You’ve arrogantly refused to work on the issues affecting almost 78% of this population, you’re even willing to hurt any “Nakasatwe” that expresses their dissatisfaction with tear gas and canes,” Azawi posted on her social media handles.
“I hope it won’t be too late when you eventually decide to listen to us!!”
The posts attracted a big applause from the public but she would later delete all of them.
In another post later, Azawi said no one had forced her to delete the posts, adding that she did it on her own will.
”I want to clarify that I personally deleted my post because I have full control over my Twitter account,” Azawi said.
“Trust me, I didn’t do it to please those doing this country faulty. I can never give such cowards that satisfaction.”
