Musician Bebe Cool, who recently announced that he would no longer be taking part in local music awards, has urged local musicians not to follow his lead.
The “Byebyo” hitmaker has asked local musicians not boycott local music awards because they are a good measure for artistes to know where they stand in the music industry.
He made the remarks while appearing on the KFM Dance Party Show on Saturday evening.
“I am calling on musicians not to boycott awards because most musicians at their level need these awards,” he said. “I think what they should do is to try and work with the organisers to iron out their issues.”
“If other artistes also choose to boycott local music awards, I believe they have their reasons. But no one is rallying artistes in Uganda to boycott the awards because the awards are also good for artistes to know where they stand in the industry.” He added.
Meanwhile, Bebe Cool was recently withdrawn from the Club Music Video Awards where he had been nominated in the Viral Video and Choreography categories.
