Ugandan singer A Pass has explained why fellow musicians were absent from his traditional introduction ceremony with longtime partner Alicia.
The question surfaced soon after the singer shared photos from the private celebration, with some fans wondering why the event featured family members but almost none of his colleagues from the music industry.
Speaking during a TikTok Live, A Pass made it clear that he never intended to turn the ceremony into a celebrity gathering.
Instead, he wanted a private occasion centred on the union of two families.
Wondering why the issue had become a talking point, the singer questioned why people expected artists to attend in the first place.
He pointed out that the ceremony was a traditional family function, not a concert or an entertainment event.
To drive home his point, A Pass compared the occasion to his own concerts.
He asked critics how many curtain-raisers they had seen at his shows, arguing that he does not rely on other artists to make his events successful.
For the same reason, he saw no need to invite musicians to make his introduction ceremony feel important.
According to A Pass, the celebration achieved exactly what it was meant to achieve. It brought together him, Alicia and their families to mark an important milestone in their relationship.
The singer confirmed his marriage to Alicia after sharing photos from the ceremony on social media with the simple caption, “Married.”
His latest explanation now answers one of the biggest questions that followed the private celebration.
