• Buchaman claims he was never paid for performing at NRM campaign rallies
  • He says Eddy Kenzo helped him secure the slot, but Bebe Cool should pay him
  • It remains unclear who handled payments as Bebe Cool and Kenzo feud continues

Presidential Advisor on Ghetto Affairs, Mark Bugembe, popularly known as Buchaman, has publicly demanded payment from fellow musician Bebe Cool, accusing him of failing to pay for performances during National Resistance Movement (NRM) campaign rallies.

Speaking in an interview on Spark TV, a visibly displeased Buchaman said he wants his money “by all means,” insisting that he was never compensated despite performing at several presidential campaign events.

Buchaman was among the musicians who featured prominently at President Yoweri Museveni’s campaign rallies, a move that came after he had previously complained about being sidelined by the NRM despite his long-standing loyalty to the party.

In the interview, Buchaman revisited his earlier appeals to fellow artists, including Eddy Kenzo, reminding him of the role he played in supporting Kenzo’s rise in the music industry. According to Buchaman, it was through Kenzo’s intervention that he was added to the campaign performance lineup.

“I performed like everyone else. I showed up when called, but up to now I haven’t been paid. All I want is my money, nothing else,” Buchaman said during the interview.

However, it remains unclear who was directly responsible for handling payments to the artists. Bebe Cool, the boss of Gagamel, has himself recently been embroiled in a public fallout with Eddy Kenzo, with claims circulating that Kenzo replaced him as the chief entertainer at NRM events.

This internal friction has further complicated the issue, leaving unanswered questions about whether Bebe Cool personally handled the payments or whether the responsibility lay elsewhere within the campaign structure.

As of now, Bebe Cool has not publicly responded to Buchaman’s claims.
