“Bali mu motoka fe tuli kubigere, tulinze sente zaffe ziwele,” so goes a chorus in one of A Pass’ hit songs lamenting about how he is a pedestrian, admiring people cruising rides because he hasn’t made enough money buy one yet.
On many occasions, musicians sing about real life situations and we are sorry to tell you that A Pass’ Tuli Kubigere song is based on a true story.
The singer was on Thursday night spotted walking from Kati Kati Grounds in company of his producer Nessim and another fella.
A Pass had just attended Coca Cola’s new Share A Coke with Friends campaign and while most of the celebs in attendance cruised home, A Pass had to leave Kubigere.
He waited for all the other celebs to leave before he made his exit at about 11pm. What was surprising is that he ignored the boda bodas parked at the Kati Kati exit and decided to stroll down to Jinja Road.
When A Pass and his friends reached Oryx Petrol Station near Game Stores, they flagged down a boda boda and the three of them hopped onto it!
Now, most of us have used boda bodas before, so there is nothing wrong with using them. Celebrities though are expected to use more dignified means of transport and what makes A Pass’ case despicable is that three guys hopped onto one boda boda.
Our prayer is that he soon makes enough money and stops whining that Bali mu motoka, fe tuli kubigere and starts dropping lyrics like Beema, Benz or Bentley. For his case, even an Ipsum will do … only that it doesn’t sound nice in a song.
