Renowned dancehall artist Ziza Bafana has sparked controversy with his bold statement that no Ugandan manager or promoter can elevate an artist to international success.
According to Bafana, the local music industry lacks the proper structures and global connections needed to push Ugandan artists beyond East Africa.
He believes that for an artist to go international, they must personally build global networks and seek opportunities beyond Ugandan promoters.
His statement has ignited mixed reactions among fans and industry players, with some agreeing that Ugandan music lacks international representation, while others argue that a few managers have successfully marketed artists beyond borders.
