Alien Skin calls out Abitex for non-payment in explosive live stream; promoter vows vengeance

While announcing the cancellation last week, Skin accused the promoter of trying to “steal the concert” from him.

Finally, yesterday, August 8, the two got to face off publicly in a spectacular live stream hosted by comedian Richard Katumba, better known as Kabaata.

During the stream, the two traded accusations over nonpayment, disrespect and hypocrisy.

Abitex accused Skin of backing out of their agreement for the Nkwacho concert with no genuine reasons.

He also told him off for misusing his newly found fame, having found him languishing in obscurity and brought him to the limelight just months ago.

“Alien Skin, you have been singing for Shs 600,000 to 1.2million.

“The day I got an idea you didn't have and took you to Freedom City, that's when you stepped into the limelight.

“I gave you Shs 15 million which you had never held,” Abitex charged.

“As a young man, you are still with that habit of not respecting people. That is how God created you.

“How can you say that I have not added anything to your career?”

Alien hit back, asking if he himself had not added anything to Abitex.

The promoter, however, reminded him of the fact that he’s already established in the industry, and that the singular Freedom City concert could not have added anything to his repute.

“With all the concerts I have organized; from Enkuuka which has 70,000 people to Amasaza, to Nakivubo… can you really say that you have added something to me?”

Skin then clapped back, telling Abitex to stay in his lane.

“It is not about pinning each other because we are not a married couple.

“I will just ask you one thing to stay in Enkuuka. Everyone should stay in their lane.”

Skin specifically pinned Abitex for not paying him in time for the Nkwacho Festival.

He said the promoter did not deliver on his payment promise on the date he said he would.

The Nkwacho Festival was supposed to take place on August 27 at Forest Park Buloba.

“What you need to know is that twagala sente; sente ziliwa?” he said.

Before leaving the live stream, Abitex warned the Fangone Forest boss that his bravado and untrustworthiness will be his downfall in the near future.

“I am not a prophet, but if you continue betraying and disappointing people like that… Promoters are now in debt because of you; in Dubai in Durban, Kassanda, and Mubende.

“But they are going to join forces and you will pay them back in a not-so-good way. You are not the first musician and your music is not the greatest,” he said.

Skin revealed recently that the Nkwacho Festival is still on and that efforts are underway to have it in Lubiri.
