Alien Skin’s ‘Kimenke’ Cross Entrance Triggers Outrage, Pastor Sempa Demands Apology
Pastor Martin Sempa of Makerere Community Church strongly criticized musician Alien Skin following a controversial stunt at his February 21 concert.
Initially supportive, Sempa purchased tickets for his boda boda riders and agreed to attend, offering a prayer and message at the event.
Alien Skin’s team even branded him the “Fangone Pastor.”
However, the pastor’s support quickly turned to outrage after witnessing Alien Skin’s dramatic entrance at the concert.
The musician appeared nailed to a cross, wearing a crown of thorns, smoking, with the word “Kimenke” displayed at the top.
This act, widely interpreted as a mockery of Christ’s crucifixion, sparked immediate outrage among Christians on social media.
In a video recording, Pastor Sempa condemned the disrespectful gesture, stating that Jesus did not die on the cross while smoking marijuana.
He also criticized the use of the word “Kimenke” (meaning “alien” in English), asserting that Jesus was not an “alien.”
The pastor further expressed his disapproval of Alien Skin associating the Holy Spirit with marijuana, calling it “confusion of the highest order.”
He echoed the frustration of many religious leaders, stating that the performance deeply offended Christians.
Sempa called for Alien Skin, real name Patrick Mulwana, to publicly apologize to Christians in Uganda and around the world for desecrating the cross of Jesus Christ.
“For us, people of God Jehovah, we are saying this cannot be, and it must be dealt with. The long arm of the law must come, and we must have a proper apology made within seven days. Otherwise, we want to make sure that there will be no concert for Alien Skin again in this country,” he declared.
