Karole Kasita on why she never made it onto ‘Nassanga’ remix

What the report says

Ugandan singer Karole Kasita has explained why she did not end up on Kalifah Aganaga’s “Nassanga Remix,” a collaboration that later featured Winnie Nwagi, Weasel Manizo, Eddy Kenzo and Lil Pazo Lunabe. Sqoop Uganda reported that the song became a major talking point in Uganda’s music scene and moved quickly toward a million views on YouTube, making Kasita’s near-involvement a notable behind-the-scenes detail.

According to the article, Kasita said in an interview with Galaxy FM that she did not intentionally turn down the project. She said she was dealing with personal family problems at the time and was emotionally strained, but still went to the studio prepared to record. Her account suggests that the opportunity was real and that circumstances, rather than a deliberate refusal, kept her from completing the collaboration.

The report says the session was disrupted when electricity went off just as recording began. Kasita then left, and by the time work resumed, the remix had moved on without her. Winnie Nwagi was later brought in, and her verse became one of the song’s standout moments. The piece adds broader context by showing how hit songs can be shaped by missed sessions, private struggles and last-minute changes before release.
