‘Don’t joke with the music industry’ — Sama Sojah speaks on alleged witchcraft

What the report says

Ugandan singer Sama Sojah has publicly alleged that he has experienced witchcraft-related incidents connected to the country’s music industry. In a recent media interview reported by Sqoop Uganda, the Akaama hitmaker said he believes some people have tried to harm him through spiritual means and warned other musicians not to dismiss that side of the business.

According to Sama Sojah’s account, the most unsettling episodes happened at his home. He claimed to have seen creatures that looked like snakes but had more than four legs, and said he photographed them as proof. He also alleged that some of the same people appear in his dreams and tell him not to return to the music industry. The article presents these claims as his personal allegations and notes that they have not been independently verified.

Sama Sojah said the situation is especially troubling because he lives with his wife and children. He insisted he was not inventing the story and said he is thankful to still be alive. Sqoop Uganda added that references to witchcraft and spiritual attacks sometimes surface in Uganda’s entertainment scene, but such claims are difficult to prove independently. The broader context is that entertainers in the region occasionally frame career setbacks or personal fears in spiritual terms, though the report does not establish any factual basis for Sama Sojah’s accusations.
