Going International by force, after a successful East African tour that saw him light up Kenya and Tanzania, Bebe Cool (real name Moses Ssali) has officially touched down in London, kicking off the international leg of his Break The Chains album tour.
The Gagamel boss jetted out of Entebbe on Monday night, with London set as his first overseas stop—and for good reason. Dubbed the “Mecca of Afrobeats,” London holds a special place in the hearts of African music lovers, not just because of its buzzing multicultural scene, but because it’s birthed and nurtured so many iconic Afrobeats moments—from Fela Kuti’s early UK days to Burna Boy’s Grammy-winning global run.
Now, it’s Bebe Cool’s turn to leave his stamp on the city.
Armed with his new album Break The Chains, Bebe is expected to feature on top podcasts, media platforms, and social hubs in the UK. He’s also scheduled to meet some of the biggest tastemakers in the London music scene—building bridges that could catapult his sound to even wider global audiences.
It’s not just talk—Bebe already tapped into the UK’s Afrobeats energy by featuring BBC’s DJ Edu (a Kenyan-born UK-based producer and broadcaster) on the track Games. DJ Edu is no stranger to the wave; he’s worked with big names like Bien, Joeboy, and Onesimus, and has already premiered the “Cheque” remix (Bebe Cool x Joshua Baraka) on his BBC 1Xtra show.
And it doesn’t stop there. Media personality Adesope, who hosted Bebe Cool’s Break The Chains album listening party in Kampala, is set to play a key role in London too—helping navigate Bebe’s UK media tour and link him with influential industry heads.
This London stop is only the beginning. After shaking up the UK, Bebe Cool’s next chapters include more European cities, followed by a stretch in the USA and other global destinations.
