A cobbler turned singer couldn’t have made headlines in the had it not been the safety, peace and good governance of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s government.
Paul Mutabazi, a shoe shiner has since rebranded as Fresh Daddy after recording a song Mazike.
He is the latest singer catching the headlines in Kampala.
Mr. Paul is the biological father of Patrick Senyonjo, a 7 –year- old singer known by his stage name Fresh Kid.
Whereas music pundits have come up to denounce Fresh Daddy for attempting to steal his son’s limelight, the music giant that has for years topped the charts, Moses Ssali (Bebe Cool) threw his weight behind Fresh Daddy, insisting that the man from luwero has every right to sing.
Bebe Cool expressed his opinion through his Facebook page which books of over 500000 followers.
Below is slightly edited statement Bebe Cool issued Sunday night.
I find it so ridiculous trying to put down or fail a man who is trying to better his life from a nail polisher(manicurist)to an artist/musician, in this case the so called FRESH DADDY.
It should be remembered that the reason I support President Museveni is the fact that he has put an environment that even the brainless, clueless or no talent ones can make money in Uganda and earn a better living, an environment that for sure only the lazy will die poor.
I saw my brother MC Kats sending the man away from stage and I have heard many totally putting him off but don’t u think that should be left for audiences to choose on who they want to watch? With my experience Ugandans can accommodate anything or anyone as long as they are happy with it or him and then remember they will ask him away as long as he is of no more use/entertainment to them.
But by that time he will have saved some money enough to become better and maybe even take care of his family too as you saw the wife was complaining about him not being there for them.
We as Ugandans must appreciate Fresh Daddy has not opted for theft or killing boda boda riders but rather a choice that allows revelers to decide for them selves if they want to give him the Mazike or not.
Allow the man to make and save the little he can as fast as he can coz u know he won’t last long but he will be a better Ugandan tomorrow.
So let’s allow all Ugandans to make money any how anywhere as long as they abide by the law and they don’t hurt anyone.
Thank you President Museveni for this conducive environment.
