Three Years in the Spotlight and Already a Legend? Alien Skin Claims Yes

On October 20, 2025, Ugandan singer Alien Skin, born Patrick Mulwana, set off a storm after declaring himself a legend in the country’s music industry.

The statement, made during an interview on NBS After 5 at his Fangone Forest headquarters while premiering his latest single, quickly ignited debate across Uganda’s music circles.

I am a legend, and I have been one for quite some time,

Supporters praised his role in amplifying ghetto youth and spotlighting underground talent through his Fangone Forest movement.

Many drew comparisons to Jose Chameleone, Bebe Cool, and Bobi Wine, artistes who have shaped Uganda’s music industry.

For fans, Alien Skin’s raw style, authenticity, and chart-topping hits mark him as a transformative figure in a new era of Ugandan music.

Defenders argue that legend status is about influence, not years in the spotlight.

Alien Skin, they say, has disrupted norms, built a loyal following, and given voice to communities often overlooked by mainstream music.

Critics, however, contend that with only three years in the mainstream, the title is premature.

Memes and online polls flooded platforms such as X, with many questioning whether his impact matches the decades-long contributions of Uganda’s veteran stars.
