Highlights and Lead Stories from the Red Pepper Uganda's first Tabloid. Ads Friday, June 25 2010
Most of you guys have seen our artistes during their heyday when they live a pompous lifestyle that would make the Queen of England envious. Although most of them don't want us to know their past, we can reveal that many of them came from very far as seen below:
DJ Michael - Born and raised in Najjanakumbi, dropped out in senior five after failing to raise school fees. He opened up a Matooke stall in Stella zone Najja to make ends meet. In the late 90's, due to his dynamism, he was recruited as a bouncer at Britania Night Club. He used to do rehearsals with the DJ's box and when the DJ was fired, Michael was made the resident DJ. When he proved to be good Lido Beach Management hired his services as an in house DJ. This time he started the journey of his singing career and luckily enough his first song 'Kwata Kwata' earned him a lot of popularity. If you want him to add you to his list of enemies tell him to sing in English. With the help of Madam Cheryl, who is perceived by many as his sugar mummy. He got a toyota surf and jumped into another class. Bobi Wine - The 'Uganja' president was orn from Gomba but grew up in Kamwkya. He started from Kitante but during his free times e could sell second hand clothes in Owino. He was also known for supplying 'weed' to taxi touts in Kamwokya. It appears his parents were not badly off because they were able to sponsor him at Makerere University where he pursued a course in MDD. Jose Chameleone - Joseph Mayanja was born in Kawempe Maganjo to the family of Mr. Mayanja, went to Kawempe P/S, Mengo SS and dropped out in S.6 when he failed to get school fees. Started working as a DJ in club Mijuri in Maganjo. When things failed to work out he shifted to Nairobi where he became a street boy for many years. He could sleep in a disco due to lack of accommodation. He then met Bebe Cool, who at that time was working with Ogopa DJ's. The two stayed together while he did odd jobs. That's why whenever they fight, they easily make up because they were tight buddies while in Nairobi. He then composed a song 'Mama Mia' Because he was a skirt chaser, he met Dorotia who game him a house and they started bonking like crazy. He then came back to Uganda and his singing career has been on the rise since then. When you meet him today, he will not care to listen to you when you tell him how he suffered in Nairobi.
