Top city music promoter Charles Oryem alias Sipapa of Sipapa Entertainment has always been a humble man from Mbale who started out in Makindye as a casual laborer.
We have landed on details that entail his entire walk from a casual laborer who had nothing but his borrowed tools back in 2000, to a rich music promoter who was at one time very close to musician Chameleone.
Sipapa who is battling a fraud case with Interpol for allegedly stealing cars from the UK and reselling them around East Africa was recruited into city gangs back when he was still a youth in Makindye. The gangs introduced him to the black business of theft and the like. He was given lawyers and told what to do when he got into trouble and he has never looked back.
Sipapa was also taken into fitness classes where they taught him different skills of fighting an opponent and how he can defend himself. He then accumulated a lot of money from dirty dealings across the city. The money was pumped into music to promote his artistes. This is how Sipapa met up with Dr. Jose Chameleone. He begged him to work on a song with Melody, an upcoming singer that he was pushing at the time.
Sipapa is said to have paid Chameleone a lot of money to make the collabo a big success. This cemented his place in the music industry. Things got out of hand when he fell for the same woman with Chameleone. The upcoming singer came between them and ended their relationship and significantly affected his grip on the music industry as a promoter.
As problems come in bundles, a few weeks after the fall out, Sipapa’s past started haunting him. He was hunted by Uganda Police shortly after for cases of theft just before Interpol closed in on him over fraud.
We will keep you posted.
