• Comedian Reign praised King Saha for publicly confronting Minister Kasolo during a concert appearance.
• He argued that artists have a right to use their platforms to express frustrations and represent public concerns.
• Reign said Ugandans should be allowed to openly voice their grievances and defended Saha’s outspoken stance.

Comedian Reign has thrown his support behind musician King Saha following the singer’s latest public attack on Minister Haruna Kasolo during Kazibwe Kapo’s concert.

King Saha and Minister Kasolo have had a long-running feud, with the singer previously accusing the minister of frustrating one of his performances in Kyotera.

The disagreement has continued over the years, culminating in fresh criticism directed at the minister during the weekend concert.

Speaking about the incident, Reign said he was impressed by King Saha’s courage and willingness to openly confront someone he considers an adversary.

He revealed that if he had been given the opportunity, he would have joined the singer on stage to express similar sentiments.

“We have to face our enemies and tell them how we feel,” Reign said, arguing that people should not be expected to entertain or please those they believe have wronged them.

The comedian further suggested that many Ugandans have attempted to air their grievances through peaceful means but have seen little change.

According to him, artists and other public figures have every right to use their platforms and influence to express frustrations on behalf of ordinary citizens.

“How do I respect you when you don’t?” he questioned.

Reign added that citizens should be allowed to voice their pain and dissatisfaction freely, describing it as one of the few avenues available for expressing their concerns.

“Let our enemies also feel the same pain we are feeling,” he said.
