Two weeks ago, musician Moses Ssali aka Bebe Cool revealed that people who will attend his “Best of Bebe Cool” concert will be using an electronic financial card – the first of its kind in Uganda by a musician. Questions have been raised about the card with some people claiming that it could be containing a chip connected to devil worshipping.
According to the singer, the card can be used for quite a number of things and will allow his vast number of fans to access an array of services from Bebe Cool. The electronic card has a chip in it and each chip has a number that’s unique to only that user.
Bebe Cool says that the card is a new innovation that is meant to take his career as a unique Ugandan musician to another level. “I have taken fans from the level of the ticket to the level of the card, I don’t want to be cheated by people who forge tickets. That’s the reason I introduced the card. They can use it for this concert and even my next concert, they can load money on it and use it later,” said the 36 year old Reggae artiste while appearing on KFM dance show on Saturday.
Some fans are not yet comfortable with the idea of using an electronic card. Others have called it devilish and have quoted the bible to prove their claims. “I am his fan, but am very scared by this card. I am told it has a chip in it and this could be the mark that is talked about in the book of Revelations in the Bible. Revelation 13:16-18 talks of no one being able to buy or sale without the mark of the beast which can be inserted in a chip. I hope this card doesn’t have the mark,” said Henry Amooti, a staunch Christian and Gagamel fan.
Best of Bebe Cool show is slated for August 8th 2014. Loyal Gagamel fans will be treated to a different kind of performance from the usual album launches as Bebe Cool will be staging a one man show for 3 hours. Old tunes like Mambo Mingi, Fitina, Sambagala, Bogolako will be played as well as some of his recent tracks. Bebe Cool’s financial cards can be bought at Serana and money loaded onto them.
