Ku Mapeesa's family, promoter clash over charity concert cash

A disagreement has emerged over the proceeds from the Danz Kumapeesa Charity Concert that was held last weekend at Calendar Hotel in Makindye. 

Kumapeesa alias Daniel Mukisa's family alleges that Jojo Events the organisers of the show breached the agreement that put the family in charge of gate collections hence taking the biggest percentage of the money. 

"We only received sh2.3m from the organisers which is little money compared to the turn up at the show" says Ruth Mukisa the sister of the ailing producer.

"On top of that the hospital bill is still high with a balance of sh1.8 m which means we still need to solicit for that money for our brother to be discharged" she added. 

According to Jojo, most of the money covered other bills at the concert which the family disputes since they received all services for free. 

The organisers quickly put together this as accountability after the producer's family raised red flags.

Entrance to the event was put at sh10,000 and 50,000 respectively and performances came from a multitude of musicians led by heavyweights Bebe Cool and Chameleone. 

Kumapeesa was allegedly beaten by burglars at his home in Busabala months ago. 

He was admitted at Nsambya Hospital in Kampala were he has received help from well-wishers that include celebrities and socialites. A car wash was also organised to raise funds to cater for his hospital bill. 

Kumapeesa is the renowned creative force behind hit songs like Bebe Cool's Mbozi Z'amalwa and Musawo among others.
