King Saha’s big stage couldn’t take Ray G’s Kololo crown – Abitex

What the report says

Events promoter Abbey Musinguzi, known as Abitex, has renewed the debate over which artiste delivered the stronger concert at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala. Speaking about the shows by Ray G and King Saha, Abitex argued that the comparison should focus less on stage design and audience size and more on the commercial outcome of each event.

Abitex, who organised Ray G’s concert at the venue, said King Saha’s larger stage did not change his view that Ray G remains the “king of Kololo.” He suggested that a visually impressive setup is not proof of a successful concert if it does not translate into strong financial returns. The article says he also pointed to Saha’s lower ticket prices and some free entry, which he считает make it harder to judge the show’s earnings.

The promoter also brought politics into the discussion, questioning how an opposition-leaning artiste could stage a major event at a government-managed venue and benefit from services such as security. His comments come amid an ongoing online rivalry between the two musicians and their supporters, with some social media users warning that repeated comparisons are fuelling unnecessary tension.

Sqoop Uganda reports that the debate has gone beyond music and into wider public discussion, especially because both concerts were staged at the same landmark venue, creating a natural basis for comparison.
