• King Saha has once again taken aim at longtime rival Bebe Cool, this time directing his criticism at the latter’s newly released 16-track album, Break The Chains. 
  • Saha mocked the songs as unmemorable and accused Bebe Cool of failing to set a strong example for the younger generation of Ugandan artists. 

Singer Mansour Ssemanda, popularly known as King Saha, appears to have no intention of reconciling with iconic musician Big Size Bebe Cool. The Bambi artist has redirected his focus to criticizing Bebe Cool’s newly launched Break The Chains Album.

During a TikTok live session with fellow artist A Pass, the two took to mocking Bebe Cool’s 16-track album. Saha remarked that the album lacks any song that might entice someone to listen to it.

Furthermore, he criticized Bebe Cool’s singing abilities, suggesting that as a trailblazer in the music scene, he has not established a foundation for emerging artists to follow and develop the industry.

The former Leone Island artist noted that Bebe has to pay off the media for his music to get airplay, implying that this reflects poorly on the quality of his songs, which consequently hampers good artists whose music isn’t played without bribes.

He pondered why he was not invited to the album’s listening party, to which A Pass mentioned he also wasn’t invited but still chose to attend. In the meantime, Saha informed Bebe that he wouldn’t gain viral fame with a low profile.

“The man produced such a poor album that you can’t even say, ‘Let me listen to this song while I wait for another one.’ We are now facing a significant issue where those of us with quality songs will struggle for airplay since inferior songs are being prioritized for bribed airplay. He should understand that one cannot go viral with a low profile and he’s severely neglected the industry,” Saha expressed.

However, the reality is contrasting as the album is already climbing the charts and performing well. Bebe Cool is currently engaged in a media tour around East Africa, initially in Kenya and presently in Tanzania.

His conflict with Saha seems to be unreciprocated, with the Muliranwa singer exerting considerable effort despite the Wire Wire artist’s silence for more than three years.
