• Yung Mulo says Vinka’s concert boycott was a decision by fans, not NUP as a party.
• He questions whether he should also be boycotted for supporting the National Unity Platform.
• The artist urges musicians to separate political differences from entertainment and continue supporting one another.

Yung Mulo has weighed in on the boycott of Vinka’s Live and Loud concert, clarifying that the decision by some fans not to attend the event was not a directive from the National Unity Platform (NUP) as a political party.

The artist said that while musicians should continue working together despite their political differences, politics should be kept separate from the entertainment industry.

According to Yung Mulo, artists are free to choose whether or not they want to actively participate in politics, noting that politics is “spiritual” and everyone should decide how they want to navigate it.

The controversy follows Vinka’s decision during the last elections to support her husband, who contested on the National Resistance Movement (NRM) ticket. Her stance reportedly disappointed some of her fans, particularly those who have long advocated for political change.

Yung Mulo, who openly supports the NUP, questioned whether artists should also face boycotts based on their political affiliations.

“Should I also be boycotted by fans because I support NUP?” he questioned.

He further called for a clear distinction between politics and entertainment, saying artists should be allowed to support one another regardless of their political views.

Yung Mulo added that he would have attended Vinka’s concert and shown his support if he had not been caught up elsewhere, emphasizing that political differences should not prevent artists from supporting each other professionally.
