Jenkins to Balaam: I was making big moves before you started 'selling things in Nakivubo'

In a media interview, Barugahara said Jenkins Mukasa should first operate a chapati stall before assuming the role of criticising how he conducts his concerts.

Mukasa, a music analyst and media personality, was among many observers that had their spider senses tingling after a video emerged implying that Barugahara had doled out free tickets.

His comments didn't sit well with Balaam Barugahara, who also used media interviews to blast him.

"There are people like Jenkins, who have never owned a chapati stall; who has never run a tomato stall. But he is just talking about whatever he finds. I won't waste time on that one," said Barugahara in a media interview.

"The revelers you saw me warmly welcoming had their tickets and wristbands. The likes of Jenkins are used to poor quality tickets."

Barugahara organised Pallaso's Love Fest concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval in Kampala and it faced stiff competition from Alien Skin's Sitya Danger, which was organised by Abitex.

Responding to Barugahara, Mukasa said that he was organising music events way before the former had even thought about joining the music industry.

Said Jenkins Mukasa: "By thinking along the lines of tomato stalls, it means your mindset is still rudimentary. Our businesses are private. We don't have to put them in front of the camera and they don't are not funded by the government.

"You're talking stalls, I'm talking bigger things than stalls of tomatoes... Before you joined Makerere, we were the first to bring wristbands in Kampala when we organised a show called Gold and Tones in 1988. Where were you Balaam? You hadn't even started selling things in Nakivubo. We introduced the wristbands you're bragging about."

Jenkins Mukasa also noted that he finds no problem in Balaam plotting with Abitex to make money.
