Through a statement put up via her X account, Zafaran opened up about her frustration with male musicians in the Uganda music industry.
Zafaran revealed that some male musicians ask for some nkudi in return for a music collaboration, something she finds disheartening.
“As a female artist in Uganda, I am disheartened by what male artists take us through before we work with them. A male artist will ask for sex in return for a collaboration, Really??. Is that what other females are doing?? Our music industry should be a place of mutual respect and professional integrity, not a marketplace for exploitation. I stand with every woman who has faced similar challenges and call upon all of us to demand better. Let’s work together to create a music industry that values talent and collaboration over coercion and misconduct. I’m so tired & fed up”- she posted.
Zafaran also went ahead and urged her fellow musicians who have faced similar situations to stand up for themselves and strive for better conditions.
