Makindye is toxic for musicians - Nince Henry

The "Killer Portion" hit singer says that artists who reside in the area compete using witchcraft instead of improving their art and relations.

This comes contrary to the public opinion that Makindye is Uganda's Beverly Hills of the performance arts because of the stars who reside there.

"There’s a huge part of the music industry in Uganda that resides in Makindye. But what defines most of the artistes who stay in Makindye is sarcasm in form of flattery and insincere smiles. Basiiba mu kwelwanyisa mbu beloga. nabalya mubanabwe enkwe all the time," he said.

Nince disagrees with the public opinion, pointing out the wicked society that is Makindye comprised negative social practices.

Makindye is a hub for recording studios, which has attracted many artists to camp within it.

"Some of my friends like Spice Diana I wish you leave and come to Ntinda. Young boys obasanga mbu banywa mindi. Very silly and backward mindset for sure. I have so many friends there and I feel bad for them all the time!" he added.

Following Spice Diana's appearance in New York Times Square, Henry believes that the StarGal has been elevated in the industry and deserves to live in a prestigious place like Ntinda.

Some fans had scathing responses to this claim but fellow artists are yet to comment. However, Spice Diana seems to be doing quite well despite her allegedly toxic living conditions.

The "Jangu Ondabe" singer recently revealed that she is in touch with Nigerian stars, Davido and Mr. Flavor. She hopes to make her break in West Africa's music scene, but did not reveal much about her music projects.

“I have a song that has Davido, Mr. Flavor, and many other stars. I don’t want to spill all the beans now, but soon you will know,” she said in an interview with local radio station.

Perhaps because stars shine brightest in the dark, Makindye's supposedly destructive environment fuels their ambitions.

However, Nince doesn't share "the end justifies the means" sentiment, so the allegedly harmful social life is not worth the achievement found thereat.
