Musician Bebe Cool has opened up about the specific reason he separated from Bobi Wine.
Bebe Cool explained that he separated from Bobi Wine because Bobi Wine insulted him when he was having issues with his wife, Zuena. He claims that instead of being helped when he reached out to Barbie, Bobi Wine insulted him in return.
"What really separated me from Bobi Wine was something personal. Barbie used to 'kunoba' [a Luganda word meaning to get angry and leave one's marital home] and come to my home. But when Zuena left me and went back to her parents’ home, I reached out to Barbie for help. I thought, as a friend to my wife, she would speak to her and help us sort things out. But when Barbie told Bobi Wine about it, instead of helping, he turned around and started insulting me. I was simply asking for help from a friend. Since our families were close, I truly thought they would help me, but it turned out to be the opposite," he explained while addressing challenges faced by married couples.
He argues that he personally would reconcile Bobi Wine and Barbie whenever they had problems, and Barbie would often run to Zuena for help.
"The painful part is, his own wife used to run away and come to my place. We would sit, counsel her, and then send her back to him. But when it was my turn to need support, he chose to insult me," he added.
Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine have not been friends for almost twenty years. Even when Bobi Wine joined politics, Bebe Cool has never supported him and continues to campaign for President Museveni.
The two artists were friends before, and they started Fire Base Records together, intending to weaken Chameleone's Leone Island crew.
