Bebe Cool's Agenze album launch Bobi Wine's Carolina launch set records, tells who is who in the Ugandan Music industry!

By: Isaac Ssejjombwe

In one corner was Bebe Cool at kyadondo rugby club with his Agenze album launch organized by Balaam and Silk events and in the opposite corner was Bobi Wine at Africana people's space with Carolina launch organized by Kibo and Events ware house. The judges were the fans and the fight was all about supremacy in the music industry. What started as a musical battle ended up with both artists making tremendous records that will take a music genius to break.

With over 10,000 people gracing his album launch, Bebe became the first artist to attract such a huge crowd at a concert while Bobi Wine usurped the record of getting more people at Africana previously held by Chameleon and the Goodlyf members while launching bayuda and bread $ butter last year. The self acclaimed Ghetto president received over 7,000 fans compared to the 5,000 and 6,000 received by the other artists.

Statistics also have it that Sunday 4th October is the only day in history where thousands crammed Bebe Cool's and Bobi Wine's launches at Resort and Gabba beach respectively.

Ironically or rather surprisingly, both artists have been showcasing their talents for over six years at different dates but none has been able to get the crowd they both received for the past few weeks.

However, rumor has it that Bobi gave out free tickets to vendors prior to the event in a bid to lure them attend his concert which went for 20,000 general and 50,000 V.I.P while some say Bebe allowed people to enter for free when tickets were sold out at the venue yet tickets were sold at 10,000 general and 30,000 V.I.P.
