The Ugandan music scene is buzzing with tension after an altercation between rising artists Ava Peace and Winnie Wa Mummy. The drama unfolded following a recent television show where Winnie Wa Mummy claimed she was disrespected by Ava Peace.
In a statement made on Saturday, Winnie Wa Mummy expressed frustration, alleging that despite arriving first at the TV station, she was sidelined. “I know my manager is friends with Ava Peace, but I am tired. It’s disrespectful. She came in late, but they removed the microphone from me and handed it to her without any explanation. She consistently puts me down whenever we are in the same space,” Winnie said, highlighting a pattern of perceived disrespect.
However, Ava Peace has firmly denied the allegations, stating that she arrived well before Winnie. In her rebuttal, Ava Peace clarified the timeline, asserting that she checked into the studio at 11:30 a.m., while Winnie appeared at midday. “I felt bad when I saw that video. It’s not good to build a name by tarnishing someone else’s. The producer saw when I arrived, and that’s why I was given the microphone first,” she explained.
Ava Peace’s defense highlights the role of production staff in managing guest appearances, suggesting that her early arrival justified the scheduling decisions made by the team. Her statement also touched on the ethics of professionalism in the entertainment industry, emphasizing mutual respect rather than rivalry.
The disagreement between the two artists has sparked conversations among fans and industry observers about fairness and decorum in media engagements. Whether this feud will simmer down or escalate remains to be seen.
