A Pass was among the acts at Abeeka Band’s first concert held at Ndere Cultural Centre on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in Kampala.
Lobstar’s comment on Sunday, May 3, 2026, came after Joshua Baraka confirmed he was no longer with his old management, though the split is amicable.

Baraka is yet to share details of his current management structure, but reports show Richard, the manager of his girlfriend Etania, is handling bookings.
This is unnecessary.

Reports also indicate that MOVES Recordings, an independent UK-based record label that has been handling him alongside Ssese and Lobstar, could be taking full charge. The label already manages artistes across rap, RnB, bashment and Afrobeats.
