The Number Emu singer, Kabako, believes that ‘beef’ is outdated and probably should have ended in the 1990s, when Tupac Shakur and Christopher ‘Notorious BIG’ Wallace ended their beef in coffins as both rappers were gunned down.
Bebe should forgive Saha. Their differences are affecting the entire industry - Kabako
Dancehall artiste Roden Y Kabako, real name Yusuf Ssenabulya, has called upon Bebe Cool to pardon King Saha for whatever wrong he may have done.
“Nothing good comes out of the disputes between musicians. Bebe Cool should just forgive King Saha. Their differences are affecting the entire industry. Bebe Cool is a big artiste who doesn’t need to be involved in fights,” says Kabako.
Earlier this week, Eddy Kenzi, real name Edrisah Musuuza, made a similar plea which was well received by everyone except for Bebe Cool, real name Moses Ssali, and King Saha, real name Monsoor Semanda.
That’s because both artists have not pronounced themselves on any chance of reconciliation.
Instead, soon after Kenzo’s plea, Bebe Cool’s son and possibly attack dog, Allan Hendrik Ssali, pulled out a bazooka of a diss track called “Story Ya Semanda”.
The song frontally takes on (while taking down) King Saha, labelling him a drug addict and a morally bankrupt man who is not a king but is a disgrace.
Bebe Cool’s art of war
In the past, Bebe has confessed that beef, which is an urban colloquialism for enmity, worked to bring his career up when, in the early 2000s, he beefed with singers Jose Chameleone and Bobi Wine.
This, he claims, led to the Ugandan music industry growing and Congolese music, which previously dominated the music industry in Uganda, being evicted from the scene.
Times have changed, however, and Kabako has a point in stating that beef is no longer nutritional to the industry. Rather, a steady diet of dance-friendly songs are and so must be encouraged.
