He continued: “I’m just a singer trying to entertain, why am I being set up in Uganda? I didn’t organize a show, I came on stage and saw teeming fans and sang to them."
“Why am I being detained? Why am I not been given a right to a fair hearing?” he added.
According to Ugandan authorities, they flouted laws against Covid-19 safety protocols. It took an online petition from their fans and giant Nigeria musicians like Burna Boy, Davido, Mr Eazi, to convince Ugandan authorities to spare them.
And immediately after his release, he announced in a new video that he will be in Ghana to entertain his fanbase here.
Watch him speak about his trip to Ghana below.
