Eddy Kenzo says he did not join mourners in singing Tuliyambala Engule at Master Parrot's burial because he never understood the song's message when it was first presented to him by Bobi Wine.

MC Kats has criticized Bobi Wine, alleging that Firebase failed to support the vigil of late former member Master Parrot, igniting online debate.

Master Parrot, born David Sifaayo, was one of Uganda’s pioneering dancehall and ragga artistes. From his breakthrough with Fire Base Crew to his successful solo career, he played a key role in shaping Uganda’s modern music industry. His legacy lives on through his hit songs, influence on upcoming artistes and contribution to the growth of local entertainment.

Veteran Ugandan musician Master Parrot has reportedly passed away following a road accident along the Kampala Northern Bypass. The singer, born David Sifayo, was a pioneer of the Firebase Crew and a key figure in Uganda’s early dancehall music scene.

Master Parrot has revealed that his friendship with Bobi Wine started in Senior Four at Kitante Hill School after the future NUP president bought him a samosa during a school break — a moment that later sparked their musical partnership.
