Ugandan musician Latinum has publicly criticized media personality Douglas Lwanga, alleging that the support he once offered to Lwanga’s Purple Party has not been reciprocated. Latinum, who was once a household name thanks to his hit Amanya Gange, stated in an online interview that he performed for free at multiple Purple Party events at the height of his career.
Despite his hopes that such gestures would be remembered, Latinum claims that Lwanga and the NBS After 5 crew have neglected him during his efforts to make a comeback in the music industry. Latinum’s career has seen a significant decline in recent years, and his recent comments reflect the challenges many artists face when trying to regain their relevance.
The Purple Party, known for celebrating Ugandan music, has been a critical platform for both established and upcoming artists. Latinum’s sentiments highlight the competitive nature of the industry and the often fleeting nature of support within it.
