• Kalifah AgaNaga says criticism of the Nassanga remix does not bother him because critics want him out of business.
• He insists he has not faded, saying politics gave him an additional career beyond music.
• The singer says he is focused on learning from legends like Michael Jackson as he strives for greatness.

Kalifah AgaNaga has brushed off the widespread criticism surrounding the Nassanga remix, saying he is unbothered by those trying to tear him down.

The remix, which features Eddy Kenzo, Winnie Nwagi, Weasel and Lil Pazo, has attracted mixed reactions from fans, media personalities and fellow artists since its release. Among the most talked-about reactions was A Pass’ humorous breakdown of each artist’s verse, where he suggested what they could have done differently.

Responding to the criticism, AgaNaga claimed that many critics simply want to see him fail.

“I have always done mega hits. When I joined politics, people were happy saying that I had faded,” he said.

He maintained that he has not faded but instead created another career for himself outside music through politics.

AgaNaga also dismissed A Pass’ remarks, saying they do not affect him because he is self-contained and confident in his abilities.

“I have everything and I’m a complete artist,” he said, adding that he believes he has the looks and charisma of a star.

Looking ahead, the singer revealed that his current focus is studying legendary entertainers such as Michael Jackson as he works towards becoming one of the greats himself.
