Konshens pays tribute to Mowzey Radio ahead of Blankets and Wine performance

The "Gal A Bubble" singer, accompanied by his entourage, was driven straight to Kagga, Nakawuka, in Wakiso district, where Mowzey Radio's grave is located.

Mowzey Radio, whose real name was Moses Ssekiboggo, passed away on February 1, 2018, following a tragic bar brawl.

Expressing her gratitude, Radio's mother, Miss Kasubo, welcomed Konshens and stated, "God keeps on strengthening me slowly by slowly. I am happy to know that someone comes from far and thinks about him (Radio). It gives me hope that people still think about me and my son."

Speaking at the airport upon arrival, Konshens shared his expectations for the upcoming performance, expressing his anticipation of the energetic atmosphere that Ugandan audiences are known for.

"Uganda has been one of the countries that kick-started my career outside of the diaspora, and the energy level has always been on steroids. So I expect nothing less," the Jamaican artist enthused.

Konshens emphasised that his tribute to Mowzey Radio is rooted in energy and respect, acknowledging the profound impact the late singer had on the Ugandan music scene. He last performed in Uganda in 2015 alongside Busy Signal at the Lugogo Cricket Oval.

Notably, Konshens returns to Uganda four months after winning a copyright suit against telecom operator, Airtel Uganda. The High Court ruled in August 2023 that Airtel was liable for copyright infringement, emphasising the distribution of songs without remitting proceeds to the artist as unjust enrichment.

When questioned about the matter, Konshens chose not to comment, stating, "I don’t want to talk about that yet. Right now, it’s about good energy, and that’s really what I’m focusing on. I’m just happy to be here and I’m just soaking that up."
