While some NUP-leaning fans urged people to boycott Vinka‘s August 21 concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval, Yung Mulo says he would have attended the show.
Speaking on Flex, the singer said he would have joined the crowd if he had been in Kampala and had no other commitments.
Vinka drew criticism after she publicly supported her husband, Nelly Witta, in his bid for a parliamentary seat during the January 2026 general elections.
Witta’s affiliation with the NRM then pushed some NUP-leaning fans to call for a boycott, although Vinka still held the concert and performed for her fans.
Yung Mulo said he never viewed Vinka as someone who actively takes part in politics, which is why he saw no reason to stay away from her show.
I know if I was in the city without much work, I was going to be at her show because I have never seen her vie for political office.
He also argued that individual fans made the boycott calls and that NUP itself never officially campaigned against Vinka or her concert.
It is someone’s choice to say they will not support Vinka, but that is not the party’s position. The party did not come out and campaign against her.
Yung Mulo then brought up his own upcoming concert and the friendships he maintains across political lines.
It would be like people refusing to attend my upcoming show because I support NUP, yet I have many friends in NRM. That is why I am saying this is not about political parties. Fans are simply choosing their own sides.
