The ongoing rivalry between Lil Pazo and King Saha has intensified, with Lil Pazo publicly criticizing Saha for referring to himself as “Kabaka” (King).
According to Lil Pazo, only traditional rulers hold the title, and Saha’s use of it is disrespectful. This latest attack follows the release of Lil Pazo’s song “Edalu Ezoole”, widely believed to be a direct diss track aimed at King Saha.
“Where does King Saha get the authority to call himself ‘Kabaka’? That title is reserved for real kings, not musicians,” Lil Pazo stated in an interview.
Lil Pazo recently released a song titled “Edalu Ezoole”, which translates to “Absolute Madness” in English. Fans and industry insiders have speculated that the song is a subliminal jab at King Saha, with its lyrics suggesting that claiming to be Kabaka is a sign of mental instability.
“It is madness to call yourself ‘Kabaka’ when we have real kings in Uganda. That’s why I dropped ‘Edalu Ezoole’ to address this issue,” Lil Pazo explained.
Although Lil Pazo did not mention Saha by name in the song, many believe the lyrics clearly reference him, further fueling their ongoing musical feud.
In Uganda, the title “Kabaka” is deeply respected and exclusively belongs to the reigning King of Buganda, currently Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.
Lil Pazo believes that Saha’s use of the title is not only inappropriate but also insulting to the Buganda Kingdom and its people.
“If you are an artist, focus on music. Don’t play around with titles that have deep meaning in our culture,” he added.
King Saha has not directly responded to Lil Pazo’s latest remarks, but his past actions suggest he is unbothered. The singer has used the ‘Kabaka’ title for years, branding himself as the “King of Love Music” in Uganda.
Despite Lil Pazo’s attack, Saha’s fans continue to support him, arguing that he uses the title in an artistic sense rather than a traditional one.
The feud between Lil Pazo and King Saha seems far from over, with “Edalu Ezoole” adding fuel to the fire. Whether King Saha will respond musically or ignore the controversy remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—the battle for supremacy in Uganda’s music industry is heating up.
