Veteran musician Bebe Cool, real name Moses Ssali, has stirred up conversation after boldly claiming that he controls who gets music airplay in Uganda, he can decide whether your song plays or not.
Speaking during a TikTok livestream, the “Wire Wire” hitmaker said that his 35-year career in the entertainment industry has earned him deep influence and strong connections across the media landscape. He revealed that he is not only friends with DJs, MCs, radio and TV presenters, but also maintains close relationships with CEOs of major media houses across the country.
Bebe Cool explained that before reaching out to DJs and presenters to push his projects, he first communicates directly with station bosses to align on his upcoming plans.
Confidently, he stated that because of his influence, he can determine which artists receive airplay and which ones are blacklisted.
In his message to younger artists competing with him, Bebe Cool advised them to learn from his experience instead of viewing him as a threat.
