Clever J: King Saha Not Yet in Uganda's "Big Three"

Veteran Ugandan musician Clever J has weighed in on the ongoing debate about King Saha’s standing in the country’s music industry. While acknowledging Saha’s recent sold-out concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval, Clever J stated that the singer has not yet earned a spot among Uganda’s “Big Three” artists.

Clever J expressed his opinion, stating, “He has not reached that level and has a lot to do. He is not there yet, according to me. He has work to do.” This sentiment comes after some music enthusiasts argued that Saha’s growing popularity and music catalog now place him in the same league as Uganda’s established music giants.

Adding to his assessment, Clever J raised questions about the elements contributing to Saha’s recent surge in fame. He suggested that Saha’s affiliations with opposition politician and musician Bobi Wine may have played a role in boosting his public profile. Furthermore, Clever J noted Saha’s earlier collaborations and connections with established artists like Dr. Jose Chameleone as significant parts of his journey in the music scene.

The discussion about who constitutes the “Big Three” in Ugandan music is a frequent topic among fans, with names like Bebe Cool often mentioned. Clever J’s comments imply that while King Saha is a recognized artist with notable achievements, he has yet to reach the veteran status or comprehensive influence that defines the top tier of Ugandan musicians in Clever J’s view.
