"I can’t keep calm for being the first Ugandan artist to reach 2.3M followers on Facebook. MOST FOLLOWED artist on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Forever grateful my #SpiceGadgets I LOVE U ALL," Diana posted on Facebook two days ago.
Bagonza took to Twitter on Tuesday to say: "Ugandan artists please stop buying followers and like plus views on Youtube, you are only fooling yourself. And am not saying all of you."
He added: "Real is better than fake. Gold is better than bronze."
Karungi, who recently hit 100 million views on YouTube, responded to A Pass' tweet: "Real is better than fake 👏🏽👏🏽"
Sheebah Karungi has 2.2 million followers on Facebook, 1.2 million on Instagram and 300.4k on TikTok.
A Pass Bagonza has 884k followers on Facebook, 691k on Instagram and 121.7k on TikTok.
Spice Diana has 2.3 million followers on Facebook, 1.7 million on Instagram and 1 million on TikTok.
Karungi and Bagonza are not the first to call out fellow musicians over buying followers.
In February, while commenting on the Eddy Kenzo and Philly Lutaaya saga, Jose Chameleone said: “Today you can buy followers on YouTube [or any other platform]... You can buy followers, you can buy likes... those are the musicians that release a video, and in one day it has 10 million views.
"I can also buy them because I know how they do it, but I don't want to ... because I'm organic…”
Spice Diana is yet to respond.
