Questions about the absence of several top Ugandan artists dominated discussions after Kalifah AgaNaga‘s Nassanga Festival Mukibira press conference, but the singer insists many people missed the point.
AgaNaga hosted the press conference on July 29 at Forest Resort Lweza ahead of his August 1 concert.
Lil Pazo, Coco Finger and Allan Hendrick turned up to support the singer, but fans quickly noticed that several other big names stayed away.
The spotlight soon shifted to Eddy Kenzo, Weasel Manizo, and Winnie Nwagi, who all feature on the “Nassanga Remix” but missed the event.
Social media users quickly picked up the discussion, with many questioning why only Lil Pazo represented the remix collaborators at the press conference.
Responding to the conversation on Galaxy TV, AgaNaga dismissed suggestions that the turnout of musicians determined the success of the event.
The press conference was not all about the musicians who featured on the ‘Nassanga Remix.’ It was meant to give people an idea of what to expect from the concert. It was never about the musicians because some of them could not even attend.
He stressed that updating fans about the concert, not the turnout of musicians, was his priority.
The purpose of the press conference was to let my fans know how the concert has been organised.
With the press conference behind him, AgaNaga wants people to shift their attention to the August 1 concert instead of continuing to debate who showed up at the media event.
