Singer Eddy Kenzo has landed in hot water for asking Ugandans to vote for Bebe Cool in the AFRIMMA awards.
The BET award winner shocked thousands of his followers on Wednesday night when he made the unprecedented move.
Posting a photo of Bebe Cool on his Facebook page, he wrote,
“Vote for Bebe cool in afrima guys!! Tuyina okwegata mumbera nga eno bweti Team Uganda let’s do this for our country. Vote vote vote. Together we can..”
However, his fans have since flocked to the comments section to blast him for rallying support behind someone who has allegedly always undermined his career and works. They have vowed to instead vote their “in-law” Diamond Platinumz, Zari’s ex who he the Gagamel boss has been pitted against.
Bebe Cool and Eddy Kenzo have been at loggerheads for years, trading jabs every once in a while.
The 2018 AFRIMMA awards will meanwhile take place on 21-24 November, in Accra, Ghana.
