Legendary artiste Bebe Cool has blamed Ugandans for his miserable loss at the recently concluded MTV Africa Music Awards 2016 (MAMA).
The less appealing musician at the awards seems to be adding on the ever increasing negativity by Ugandan towards him.

Read Bebe's Full Statement:
It's a pity
19 years in the Uganda music industry,building what many enjoy today and are able to make a lot of money, earn a living.
It all begun 19 years ago when I woke up and said I would deliver my country and my self to greater hights musically,with a few friends,some have dropped out while am still standing/growing stronger every day.
The people of Uganda had little interest in pushing thier music beyond our borders but we went ahead and pushed our selves,crossed and stayed in countries at a tender teen age,not sure of safety or food tomorrow,but to achieve what we thought would be important for our selves,our country and our people.
Today I see people from my own country saying all bad prayers for me,say all sorts of bad things about me,plan foul play for me,not me alone but many other Ugandans who have sacrificed in different fields.
Developed countries like Nigeria and South Africa not forgetting the western world always rally behind their people when the battle is beyond borders or when their people have contributed to their country, but only in my country Uganda is where u find its people doing otherwise.
Why do Ugandans fear competition?
Why do Ugandans feel bad for each others achievement?
Why do Ugandans have a lot of negative energy?
Today I stand to say I thank ALLAH for the strength,knowledge and belief in my self.
It's not that I didn't expect negative energy but it's a pity it is even growing stronger in my country and it will affect our social/economic development as a country in different sectors.
I thank the people who are supportive of hardworking Ugandans.
I have displayed strength,capability and talent,sacrificed and helped to build others despite the negative forces and am still going to do so.
This is the third year Uganda gets nominated in the MTV awards and it's my second time.
Many countries and individuals don't get this recognition despite thier hard work but we do.
I am proud to say thank all those who have been supportive,thanks to Mtv for the platform and keep recognising our hard work,thanks to Trace Tv.
Let me leave this here by saying thanks to all you people who rallied behind my hard work and keep doing so because only death will stop me and thats Allah's choice on when he will pull my plug but as long as am alive,njakufa nomuntu till I achieve my dream,raise my flag to the highest level in the world.
May Allah grant us life to witness this.
Love u all.
Gagamel forward as our motto says, FAILURE is not an option
