Adam Kasirye Gives Kid Fox a Pass Over His Controversial Comeback

Kid Fox returned to Uganda after nearly 14 years in Japan and quickly found himself at the centre of music industry drama.

The veteran ragga artist has grabbed attention with remarks about several prominent musicians, including Bobi Wine, as his comeback continues to generate buzz.

Kid Fox later explained that the controversial remarks were deliberate and formed part of his comeback strategy to attract attention to his return to the Ugandan music scene.

But entertainment observer and commentator Adam Kasirye says Kid Fox should not take all the blame.

Speaking on Vvawo Mpitewo, Kasirye said the veteran artist has returned to an industry that still follows the same standards he knew before leaving Uganda.

The Industry Has Changed, But the Tactics Remain

Kasirye pointed to the culture of musicians provoking one another publicly. He used a hypothetical example involving Jose Chameleone and Alien Skin, where a provocative remark on stage could trigger a response, spark another public exchange and ultimately draw attention.

However, Kasirye says the biggest difference today is how quickly such moments reach the public.

When Bobi Wine, Bebe Cool, and Chameleone dominated the music scene, he said there were fewer cameras, and the media often filtered what musicians said before publishing it.

Today, anyone with a phone can record a musician and post the footage instantly, allowing controversial moments to spread rapidly.

Bobi, Bebe, and Chameleone had a very big advantage. There are things they used to do, but there were not many cameras, and people in the media used to filter what they told the public. But today, a boda boda rider can pull out their phone, record a video of you doing something stupid and post it, and before you know it, it is viral.

For Kasirye, Kid Fox has therefore returned to the same industry culture he left behind, only in an era where every move can attract immediate attention.

I will not blame Kid Fox because he has found that the standard is still the same, exactly how he left it.

The Big 3 had an advantage back then because there weren’t as many cameras around.- Adam Kasirye #VvaawompitewoKuSanyuka #SanyukaUpdates #FfeBannoDdala pic.twitter.com/I0LLmYxUo1
