Renowned Ugandan media personality Edwin Katamba, popularly known as MC Kats, has initiated peace talks with Bobi Wine’s team after his recent remarks sparked intense online backlash. Kats, who previously claimed to possess sensitive information that could damage Bobi Wine’s political career, has since clarified that his statements were not intended as a personal attack on the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader.
MC Kats revealed that he recently met with Selector Davie, Bobi Wine’s close personal assistant, to discuss his concerns. According to Kats, the discussion was productive, and Davie assured him that further dialogue would take place to address the issues at hand.
"I met Selector Davie earlier this week and we had talks. I expressed my issues regarding Bobi Wine, and [Davie] promised to get back to me to discuss the matter further," MC Kats disclosed during the NBS After 5 show on Tuesday.
The controversy began when MC Kats took to social media, suggesting he had a ‘top secret’ that, if revealed, could ruin Bobi Wine’s career. This statement was met with fierce resistance from Bobi Wine’s supporters, who flooded social media platforms with criticism and insults directed at Kats.
However, Kats later clarified that his comments were not meant as a personal attack but rather a reflection of grievances from various individuals who feel unheard within the NUP leadership.
"I have no personal issues with Bobi Wine, but many people feel left out, and I was just voicing those concerns," he explained.
Bobi Wine, real name Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, is yet to publicly respond to the situation. However, his team has acknowledged MC Kats’ concerns, and further discussions are expected in the coming days.
As Uganda’s political landscape continues to evolve, the resolution of this matter could have significant implications for Bobi Wine’s leadership within the NUP and his broader political ambitions.
