Musician Patrick Mulwana, popularly known as Alien Skin, was arrested last month and sent to Luzira Prison, where he spent a week on allegations of theft and causing harm to doctors at Nsambya Hospital.
The singer was released on bail by the Makindye Magistrates Court after mediation with the affected parties.
The Sitya Danger hitmaker has now claimed that his arrest elevated his status and brought him more recognition.
"It wasn’t about discipline. If it was, they would have sent me to Pastor Bugingo's or Bugembe's church. Instead, they sent me to prison—a place filled with more criminals. The government simply promoted and elevated me," he explained during an interview with a local television station.
The singer stated that the arrest turned out to be beneficial for him, adding that he came out of prison with many blessings.
