Ugandan promoters have long been accused of stagnating Ugandan music and preventing it from crossing borders. They are often blamed for working with disorganized artistes.
The blame continues, with many artistes suggesting they receive low payment from promoters even after investing millions in music production and promotion.
Bafana has joined their critics, blaming promoters for prioritizing disorganized artistes instead of working with organized and well-branded ones.
He says they are afraid of working with someone who is well-organized and branded, and will do anything possible to fight an artiste who attempts to improve their own situation.
"Promoters don't respect artistes. They are willing to work only with disorganized artistes. They don't want to work with someone who is branded. If they see someone well-organized and branded, they will fight him until he goes down," he explained in an interview with a local television station.
Bafana also places blame on the country's leaders, revealing that many of them don't respect art.
"Our leaders in the country don't see the good in art, and they don't respect it. It will require an overhaul for art to be respected, and with that, we shall register gains," he added.
