Renown Nigerian record producer, DJ, and songwriter, Rexxie Pon Da Beat, real name Ezeh Chisom Faith, is currently in custody of Ugandan immigration authorities after being arrested.
While the reason behind his apprehension remains unknown, the multi-talented artist took to his social media channels to break the news and express his discontent with the situation.
"I've Been Arrested at th Uganda Immigation, Please Help"- he posted. He went ahead and added that; "This is so unfair! HELP HELP HELP!!! #UgandaFreeRexxie"
Rexxie's plea for assistance echoed across the digital landscape, prompting a quick response from his devoted fans and well-wishers starting hashtag #UgandaFreeRexxi.
This is the second time Nigerian artists encountering legal entanglements in Uganda as even back in 2020, musicians Tems and Omah Lay faced detainment for allegedly breaching COVID-19 guidelines during a concert.
The prior arrests of Tems and Omah Lay triggered widespread public outrage and even led to a diplomatic discord between Nigeria and Uganda. The international community closely watched the unfolding events, questioning the handling of the situation and emphasizing the importance of cultural exchange in the face of such controversies.
