In a recent revelation, soulful singer Maurice Kirya expressed amusement at those who backbite him in Luganda while in public.
Kirya highlighted the irony, mentioning that despite primarily using English, some people are unaware of his proficiency in Luganda.
The talented artist found humor in the fact that people often discuss him in Luganda, specifically referencing his Luganda songs.
He pointed out the oversight of his “Busaabala” song, emphasizing that he is the same person who crafted those songs, indicating his command of the language.
Some Ugandans are so funny because every time I go to buy things anywhere they start backbiting me in Luganda. It is so funny as they think I can’t speak Luganda yet when they are referring to me, they talk about my Luganda song. People need to understand I speak English because my parents paid school fees and I feel I need to use the fees.

Adding a touch of playfulness to the situation, Maurice Kirya hinted at a future scenario where he might pretend not to understand Luganda. He playfully suggested that someone might inadvertently reveal the location of hidden money, giving him an opportunity to retrieve it without the person realizing.
