Talented singer Adam Mulwana has passed on. Mulwana died earlier today at the Doctor’s Hospital in Seguku, Kampala Suburb, where he was admitted over abdominal-related complications.
Mulwana, who had been relatively inactive in the music industry and had previously expressed his struggles with health issues.
In one of his last public appearances, he said that he had been poisoned, though he remained uncertain about the identity of the perpetrator or when it occurred.
The singer has been battling the illness for a very long time. Last year, Kampala Central MP Mohammad Nsereko was tipped off about Adam Mulwana’s health situation. He reached out to the Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, who extended Shs1 million to help him get treatment in Kenya.
At that time, fellow singer Hajji Haruna Mubiiru was taking care of him and most of his needs, from paying his rent to getting some treatment.
Following the release of “Toka Kwa Balabala,” Mulwana faced a wave of criticism and negativity, citing numerous people who targeted him. Despite the challenges he faced, he maintained optimism about his recovery and future endeavours.
“Toka kwa balabala” shot to fame during the presidential campaign in 2016, rallying support for four-time presidential candidate Dr. Kizza Besigye.
The song served as an anthem for Besigye’s campaign rallies, resonating with supporters across the country.
