KAMPALA, (Examiner) – Ugandan musician Alien Skin has expressed his dissatisfaction with Bobi Wine and his political party, the National Unity Platform (NUP).

Following the arrest of several NUP members for possession of military stores, Bobi Wine took to social media to demand justice. The opposition leader highlighted the perceived double standards, accusing President Museveni’s government of selectively enforcing laws.

“This cartoon aptly captures the sickening double standards by Gen. Museveni and his criminal regime,” Bobi Wine wrote. “While our people are hounded every day, abducted, arrested, and tortured for putting on the #PeoplePower attire, those who subscribe to the regime are left to put on real military uniforms without consequence!”

Alien Skin, among the public figures accused of owning military stores without facing arrest, responded to Bobi Wine during a TikTok live session. The “Sitya Danger” hitmaker stated, “Sometimes it’s hard to defend you guys. You are fine on that side, and we are also okay on this side. Let everyone do what pleases them. Otherwise, we shall start attacking you and you think we were hired to do that.”

Alien Skin criticized NUP’s actions, suggesting Bobi Wine should return to his music career if politics has not been fruitful. “Don’t poke your noses into our business. If politics has failed, return to music. There are many studios. Put some respect over my name.”

This is not the first clash between Alien Skin and Bobi Wine, indicating ongoing tensions between the artist and the political leader.
