HOPE Mukasa must be reeling with anger for having helped the Nabikoowa (Fed Up) songstress to the limelight. For not singing at the Sabrina’s Pub Valentine’s show on Tuesday, Juliana Kanyomozi left many disgruntled revellers seething with rage including Mukasa, the organiser.

Like the biblical Pontius Pilate, Mukasa had earlier washed his hands clean before the audience and told them that all the publicised artistes were to perform, save for one who was allegedly booked in five places including his. The crowd coaxed him into revealing the name, but he refused and told them to watch the space.

But as it turned out, the Nabikoowa crooner may have been scared stiff of Irene Namubiru’s vocals and failed to show up, despite her manager, Eddie Ndawula having picked up a sh1.3m performance cheque on her behalf.

Mukasa said Kanyomozi would bank the cheque on the day of performance, but her absence meant she was destined for court action.

He was shocked to see that the person he helped raise musically could behave like that. “She is proud because she is at the top. It is sad, but that is what she chose to do.”
