TAKEAWAYS

• Kid Fox says his disagreement with King Saha has been resolved.
• He says he does not know Mikie Wine and therefore cannot respond to him.
• The veteran musician is attempting a comeback after nearly 15 years in Japan.

Veteran Ugandan musician Kid Fox appears determined to make his return to the local music scene impossible to ignore, although his comeback is increasingly being defined by verbal clashes with artistes associated with the National Unity Platform (NUP).

Kid Fox, real name Steven Kiggundu, returned to Uganda after spending nearly 15 years in Japan and has expressed interest in rebuilding his music career. However, his recent remarks have repeatedly thrust him into controversy.

He first sparked attention when he said he did not know King Saha, prompting a response from the “Mpa Love” singer and an online exchange that quickly gained traction. Kid Fox had also previously stated that he did not know Bobi Wine, drawing significant backlash.

The veteran now says the misunderstanding with King Saha has been resolved after interventions between their respective management teams.

Asked about Mikie Wine, Bobi Wine’s younger brother, Kid Fox maintained that he could not respond to someone he does not know.

“I don’t know who Mikie Wine is, so I can’t respond to someone I don’t know.”

The remarks have once again divided public opinion, with some questioning whether Kid Fox is deliberately using controversy to generate attention as he attempts to reconnect with Uganda’s music audience.

King Saha, meanwhile, has suggested that the veteran is seeking relevance through the confrontations.

“Kid Fox is searching for a comeback; that is the reason he is attacking everyone, including Bobi Wine.”

Kid Fox is no stranger to Uganda’s musical history. He emerged in the 1990s and became one of the early figures in Uganda’s ragga/dancehall movement, with songs including “Nimechoka,” “Love Is a Good Feeling” and “Kapere” with Bebe Cool.

Whether the controversy is calculated publicity or simply the outspoken veteran finding his footing again remains to be seen. What is certain is that Kid Fox has returned—and he is already making noise.
