Ugandan rapper Fik Fameica has come under criticism following allegations that he grabbed the microphone from Makerere University’s Guild President during the university’s Freshers’ Ball.
The incident has sparked debate about discipline, professionalism and respect among Ugandan musicians, with critics questioning the conduct of artistes while performing at public events.
In a strongly worded reaction, a critic argued that some Ugandan artistes struggle to grow their careers because of a lack of discipline, insisting that being a celebrated musician does not give anyone the right to disrespect event organisers.
The critic specifically questioned Fik Fameica’s alleged decision to grab the microphone from the Guild President, who was reportedly among the people responsible for organising and inviting him to the event.
The statement further emphasised that artistes should understand their boundaries when invited to perform, regardless of their political affiliations or popularity.
The critic also referenced the late Mozey Radio, arguing that discipline and responsible conduct are essential for artistes who want to sustain successful careers.
Meanwhile, Makerere Guild President Kadondi Gracious was congratulated for organising the event but cautioned to investigate possible internal disagreements, with the critic suggesting that some people involved in organising the Freshers’ Ball might not have had the event’s best interests at heart.
The controversy has reignited conversations about the relationship between Ugandan artistes and event organisers, particularly the importance of mutual respect and professionalism.
However, Fik Fameica’s side of the story has not been established, and it remains unclear what exactly prompted the alleged microphone incident.
