Bebe Cool's Music is not Banned from Amnesia and Galaxy FM ... Innocent writes Open Letter to Red Pepper's Claude

Dear Claude,

I am concerned that your publication is peddling lies that Galaxy FM 100.2 and Amnesia has banned Bebe Cool's Music. I have also been disappointed to see you, a person i considered a friend, bashing me on Whatsapp groups and calling me all sorts of things and saying demeaning things about my dedicated staff and business.

I wish to state the record straight:
1. That i have known and supported Bebe Cool ever since his first press conference in and around 2001 when he started out in Uganda under Allan Ntanda by then. Like brothers, we disagree sometimes but we always keep in touch and respect each other. Our relationship with Bebe Cool is still warm and such stories will not ( i will not allow it) build any bad blood between us..

2. I respect and appreciate genuine enemies and detest 'unreal' friends. We are members of the media fraternity that i hoped that rather than bite each other like grasshoppers in a calabash, should stand up for each. As people starting out in business, its important that we help each other to grow. Its hard enough to do business. its important that we respect each both privately and in those groups.

3. Galaxy FM and Club Amnesia have never banned Bebe Cool's music. We actually play his music. We play only popular music and whats popular will play whether its from Bebe Cool or any other artiste.

4. Galaxy FM figures speak for themselves. Whatever your opinion about us is, we have a loyal listenership that loves what we do. We are the leading youth Station in Kampala and beyond. We are the leading FM station with over 340,000 (organic) likes on Facebook alone (this is easy to confirm by doing a simple search). Why not go with facts other than spreading falsehoods.

Its noteworthy, that we are the leading promoter of Urban Ugandan music. Figures dont lie! Check IPSOS, Brand Image, Geopoll research (some of which have been published in the Exclusive ) to confirm. Galaxy FM and Club Amnesia play predominantly Ugandan music, Bebe Cool's inclusive.I believe in supporting Ugandan (i don't call it local) talent. Most artistes will attest to this.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another. I wish we could help each other rather than tearing each other down .

I thank you

Innocent Nahabwe
