Abitex Sends Clear Message to Promoters: Allowing Gloria Bugie to Perform in Inappropriate Attire Will Lead to Consequences

Shortly after the video surfaced online, music promoter Abbey Musinguzi, commonly known as Abitex, filed a formal complaint with the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), seeking legal action against Bugie to set an example for others in the entertainment industry.

In his complaint, Abitex pressed charges under the Computer Misuse Act, which he claims Bugie violated.

Meanwhile, Bugie has maintained that the video leak was an act of blackmail, not an intentional release, insisting that she is a victim in the situation.

The matter escalated when Bugie was taken into police custody and spent a night in jail on charges related to computer misuse.

Upon her release on police bond, Bugie lashed out at Abitex, accusing him of using bribes and influence to ensure her arrest.

She also revealed her intention to file a lawsuit against him.

However, Abitex has held his ground, asserting in a recent interview that the police bond does not imply the case has been dismissed.

According to Abitex, the authorities confiscated Bugie’s phone as part of their investigation to determine whether she was the one who initially released the video.

If the investigation proves that Bugie shared the video herself, Abitex vowed to see the case through to court, hoping she will face further legal consequences.

Expressing disappointment, Abitex remarked that he had hoped Bugie would publicly apologize to her fans as a sign of remorse for the incident.

Her refusal, however, has only strengthened his resolve to pursue legal action.

Abitex, the President of the Uganda Promoters Association (UPA), cautioned that any promoter who allows Bugie to perform in inappropriate attire risks losing police approval for future events.

While some support Bugie’s claim of victimhood, others argue that public figures bear a responsibility to uphold moral standards, especially in an age where social media quickly amplifies controversies.

For Abitex, this case is not just about one incident but about setting a precedent for Ugandan artists to maintain a responsible image and conduct.
