The ever accelerating political battle between President Yoweri Museveni and Bobi Wine has now shifted into music as the duo has been nominated in the same category in the HiPipo Music Awards.
Museveni and Bobi Wine have been nominated in the category of Best Campaign song of the decade. Museveni’s ‘Another Rap’ will compete against Bobi’s Tuliyambala Engule song. In the same category is Toka Kwa balabala that Adam Mulwana sang for Dr Kizza Besigye in 2016.
HiPipo Music Awards are held annually and this year they are in their ninth edition. Announcement of various nominations are ongoing and voting of the already revealed categories is underway.
The awards grand finale is slated for March 14, 2020, at the Kampala Serena Hotel.
Last year, the list of winners featured local artists like Sheebah Kalungi, Vinka and John Blaq. Artists outside Uganda who won awards included Sauti Sol (Kenya), Sarkodie (Ghana) Shatta Wale (Ghana), Diamond Platnumz (Tanzania) and Natacha (Burundi) among others.
