Musician Leila Kayondo has criticized the music of Alien Skin, calling it "boring" and "mediocre." Kayondo, who has not released a hit song in over ten years, has spent most of her time in hiding with her ex-boyfriend SK Mbuga.
In a video that has been making rounds on social media, Kayondo said, "Ugandans and appreciating mediocrity. Such boring music."
Alien Skin has not responded to Kayondo's criticism. However, his fans have come to his defense, saying that his music is not boring and that he is a talented musician.
The criticism from Kayondo is the latest in a series of controversies surrounding Alien Skin. In 2022, he was accused of disrespecting journalists after he demanded five million Ugandan shillings from any media house that wanted to cover his story about his recent trip to London. He has also been criticized for his lyrics, which some people have found to be offensive.
Despite the controversies, Alien Skin remains one of the most popular musicians in Uganda. His songs have been streamed millions of times on YouTube and other platforms. He is also a regular performer at major concerts and events.
It remains to be seen whether Kayondo's criticism will have any impact on Alien Skin's career. However, it is clear that the two musicians are not on good terms.
