Big Size XXL Titanic, every word to mean extra-large can fit, has now bowed down to Nigeria and it's music. He's now praising their music, making a practical fool of himself for what he said last year.
Mar. 31, 2014, Bebe Cool took to his Facebook fan page and posted:
“My advice to Ugandan artists, ignore all Ugandan DJS, TVS and Radio Stations who opt to play Nigerian music more than Ugandan.”
Yes, by then, he hadn't seen what good it would make if DJs played Nigerian Music more than Ugandan music -- which he certainly does.
He finally understands that the advice he gave to Ugandan artists to ignore such DJs was really (really) stupid.
About a month ago, Bebe Cool declared himself a music god in a post that read:
"I can’t be compared to any other artist in Uganda because my work speaks for itself. The amount of money Invested in “Love you everyday” is too much and breaking it down will be for another day. I can’t work with any crappy video production houses anymore".
Who's to say no. The guy has done it all and if you can't see that, you seriously need some 3d glasses. So, what happened to the naughty self proclaimed Titanic guy we all know?
My friends already are asking whether Bebe Cool's account was hacked or not. Was it?
This probably is one of those things he'll wake up tomorrow and regret.
Need I remind every Ugandan that it was a bloody fuss to see Bebe Cool's music video for "Everywhere I Go" aired on Channel O and MTV Base Africa ... and how many time has it been aired?
Was it fine for him to see his most anticipated "Everywhere I Go" music video get ignored by our own local TV stations in favour of Big Sean's "I Don't Fuck With You" and J. Cole's "Apparently"? -- As if any proof were needed.
The Eff that is wrong with playing 70% Nigerian Music? ... It leaves only 30% Ugandan.
30% Ugandan music will definitely mean 7% Bebe Cool, 8% Jose Chameleone, 6% Bobi Wine and the rest, 9%. This is ridiculous right? How I wish I was wrong.
Now tell me. Can you really afford to fit: Radio & Weasel, Eddy Kenzo, Rema, Irene Ntale, Sheebah Karungi, Juliana Kanyomozi, Ziza Bafana, Maurice Kirya, King Saha, A Pass, Fille, Khalifah Aganaga, Pallaso, Maro, Cindy, Mun G, Gravity Omutujju ... name it, in the remaining 9%? Can you?
If the Nigerian music industry had to ignore it's own music this much to get to the level they've attained, Bebe Cool is right.
Hmm ... have you watched Channel O?!!
Bebe Cool posted a statement praising the idea of Ugandan DJs, Radio and TV stations playing 70% Nigerian Music leaving only 30% for Ugandan talent.
What would the Ugandan Music industry want to learn from 70% Nigerian Music over our own for God's sake? To study the music trend or learn their accent, language, traditional dressing style and probably how they make children!! 70% would mean we are so desperate we want our Ugandan artists to replace their throats with those of Nigerian artists, I presume.

If u notice now,that wave of Nigeria music forced all LAZY African artist to up their game and do better quality audio and videos.In Uganda we had copied the JAMAICAN sickness of doing good songs and shooting low quality camcorder videos which affected our music in general.
After the Nigerian wave,all African artists woke up to quality and high level competition in both audio and video production which is a good thing for African music.I Particularly want to thank the NIGERIAN music fraternity for raising the African HOPE in the music industry.Thumbs up.TWENDE SASA.
