Musician Kapeke, real name Derrick Nsubuga, is under fire after a heated incident at the Zzina Carnival 2025, held at Forest Park Resort, Buloba. During his live performance, Kapeke became visibly upset when the DJ added effects to his song, prompting him to insult the DJ using vulgar language. The crowd reacted with a mix of frenzy and shock as the altercation unfolded on stage.
The situation escalated when the DJ, feeling disrespected, refused to continue playing music, leading Kapeke’s entourage to intervene and remove him from the stage. Kapeke reportedly attempted to confront the DJ physically but was restrained by others present.
The incident has sparked widespread backlash from fans and industry stakeholders, with many condemning Kapeke’s conduct and warning that continued disrespect toward DJs could result in artists being blacklisted from future events.
