Yung Mulo Urges Musicians to Focus on Building Wealth, Not Unproductive Clashes
Recently, violent clashes between singers Alien Skin and Pallaso brought the issue of musician gangs, locally referred to as Egaali, into the spotlight.
The police have since imposed a ban restricting musicians to moving with no more than five people, as a measure to curb the growing violence and lawlessness associated with the gangs.
Singer Yung Mulo Badman Gadget, born Kassim Lubega, who has experienced his fair share of chaos in the industry, shared his thoughts on the issue.
Speaking about the recent violent clashes among musicians, Mulo emphasized the importance of understanding that every action has consequences.
“In this industry, you reap what you sow,” he remarked.
“We have tried to explain to them that when you hurt someone, you are also hurting your own pockets, but they failed to understand that,” he pointed out.
Although Mulo is now a model of change, he admitted that he was not always this way.
“I used to be very troublesome and chaotic. Whatever the musicians are doing today, I have already done before,” he reflected, recalling his past behavior.
“But I changed, and whoever is being troublesome right now will eventually follow my example. Time will tell,” he added.
Despite being troublesome and chaotic in the past, Mulo revealed that he has no regrets.
“I do not regret all the trouble and chaos I used to cause,” he shared, explaining, “Because from it, I learned valuable lessons. I would not be where I am today without those experiences. Everything I did shaped me into who I am today.”
For Mulo, success, especially for musicians, comes not from tearing others down but from focusing on personal growth, building a legacy, and creating a sustainable career, rather than getting caught up in petty clashes that lead nowhere.
“The ultimate goal is to get rich, not to tear each other’s shirt,” he urged.
