TAKEAWAYS

• King Saha mocked Bebe Cool over his son Alpha Thierry’s football career.
• He accused Bebe Cool of failing to support sports development in Uganda.
• Saha sarcastically invited Bebe Cool to perform at his Tondeka E Kololo Festival while questioning his current relevance in music.

The war of words between King Saha and Bebe Cool shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Speaking to journalists after the mini press launch of his upcoming Tondeka E Kololo Festival, King Saha once again took aim at the Gagamel Entertainment boss, this time making comments about his son, Alpha Thierry’s football career.

When asked about his long-running feud with Bebe Cool, Saha did not hold back. The “Biri Biri” singer sarcastically suggested that instead of trying to secure opportunities for Alpha Thierry at some of the world’s biggest football clubs, Bebe Cool should bring him to Nakawuka FC, a village football team in Saha’s home area.

According to Saha, the youngster would be well looked after there and would get enough playing time to develop his football talent.

Saha went on to criticize Bebe Cool’s stance on sports development, arguing that if he genuinely cared about Ugandan sports, he would use his influence to advocate for better sports infrastructure in the country.

He claimed that with improved facilities and investment, talented young footballers like Alpha Thierry would not need to seek opportunities abroad in order to succeed.

The singer further alleged that Alpha Thierry has suffered because of decisions made by his father. Saha claimed that Bebe Cool had even attempted to use money and influence to secure football opportunities for his son overseas but had not succeeded.

Beyond the football remarks, Saha also extended what appeared to be a sarcastic invitation to Bebe Cool to perform at the Tondeka E Kiwatule Festival.

He joked that the self-styled “Big Size” singer’s music career had declined and even suggested a list of songs that Bebe Cool should and should not perform if he accepted the invitation.

Saha also referenced Bebe Cool’s previous comments that bad manners often lead to a musician’s downfall, saying it was ironic that the veteran singer’s career had declined despite not being known for bad behavior.
