Musician Bebe Cool is under attack for starting up what he dubbed the Shs5million challenge to save ailing music producer Danz Kumapeesa, who was attacked by thugs three months back and is now battling for his life.
“…5 million challenge for DANS KUMAPESA.. Am calling upon the following Ugandan musicians to take a stand and pay these bills for this fellow Ugandan, a producer and youthful soul,” Bebe Cool shared on social media.
And according to the singer, those challenged were able to raise the money without much ado.
“Am sure the list below can afford the kind gesture of 5m ugsh about (1500 US dollars). Bebe Cool -5 million; Jose Chameleon -5 million; Bobi wine -5 million; James Wasula -5 million; Promoter Balam -5 million and Promoter Kavuma-5 million.”
Whereas he was applauded for the move, a section of the public was not happy with the development, and among those is Bobi Wine’s longest serving ‘aide’, popularly known as Eddie Mutwe.
“Some pipo are dangerously dense. How do you call a 5m donation a challenge!!! Ok, who are you challenging and what is at stake for winner?” he began his rant.
“Hon. Kyagulanyi has never worked with Danz but he still gave help to the mum without inviting cameras to capture the moment. Winnie Nwagi did the same. How on earth can a sane person in his real sense try to auction or franchise one’s hospital bills,” wrote a seemingly furious Mutwe, who had also handed Shs1million to Danz Kumapeesa’s mother.
