The leader of the Firebase crew boss made the boastful statements on Saturday afternoon during a press conference that was held at his One Love Beach in Busabala. A large number of journalists and bloggers had gathered there to finally get a chance to speak with him after a lengthy absence.
Bobi Wine pointed out that Chameleone and Bebe Cool are claiming to be top artists solely because he is prohibited by the government of Uganda from performing. He explained that this is the reason why he devotes less time to the music in comparison to his earlier career.
The purpose of the press conference was to address the media regarding his recently released song titled “Nalumansi,” which has been met with a variety of responses and interpretations from various analysts, while other people have strongly criticised it.
I have been competing against Bebe Cool and Jose Chameleone for the past 20 years, and throughout that time I have consistently been much more successful than either of them in every aspect. In the classroom, on the concert stage, and with your bank account.
The only way for them to get ahead of me and claim the number one spot is for the dictator to make things more difficult for me.
It is therefore acceptable to allow them to enjoy the number one position while I continue to be prevented from working in the music industry because, if the chains are removed, the president will have already returned.

In his defence, Bobi Wine urged the general public to refrain from spreading rumours about ‘Nalumansi,’ claiming that the identity of the individual in question would be revealed as soon as the appropriate moment arrived.
In addition to this, he brought attention to several problems that are experienced by average citizens and urged his fellow artists to confront those in authority to correct the situation.
