• Despite the lack of clout overseas, Wine admitted that he still bonds deeply with his loyal supporters during live performances.

Mikie Wine has shared his thoughts on the difference in how Ugandan artists are received at home compared to abroad, noting that musicians often receive more respect and appreciation when performing outside the country.

In a conversation with Mikie Wine on Galaxy TV, he explained that artists do not always receive the same level of reception in Uganda as they do internationally.

“We don’t get as much reception here compared to how we’re treated elsewhere,” he said, adding that audiences abroad often take the time to look up an artist, understand their work and appreciate them accordingly.

He, however, acknowledged the support he continues to receive from Ugandans whenever he takes to the stage, noting that the connection with his fans remains strong.

“We always connect and bond when I’m performing,” he said, adding that fans who genuinely love his music always show up whenever he calls on them for his shows.
