Ugandan singer A Pass, real name Alexander Bagonza, has revealed that he deliberately added fuel to the growing war of words between fellow musician King Saha and music promoter Abtex, admitting that he has been enjoying their public exchanges.
The singer made it clear that his involvement was intentional, explaining that he found the back-and-forth entertaining and wanted to make the verbal confrontation even more interesting.
According to A Pass, one particular moment that caught his attention was when King Saha referred to Abtex as “Emulungu” — a word he said he had never encountered before but quickly grew fond of.
That was enough to get him involved.
“He said that I add fuel to their feud, but the reality is that I was enjoying their exchange and war of words. So, what did he expect me to do?” A Pass said.
He went on to explain that stirring up exchanges between people is something he enjoys, suggesting that he has no intention of stepping away from the King Saha-Abtex confrontation.
“Whenever I find two people exchanging words, I spice things up. That’s my job. I enjoy these exchanges. I add more fuel to the fire so that they can keep going,” he added.
A Pass also openly declared his support for King Saha, making it clear that he intends to remain on the singer’s side while watching how the situation develops.
“I was on King Saha’s side, and I won’t quit. I’ll just be watching from the sidelines as it progresses,” he stated.
But the King Saha-Abtex disagreement is not the only reason A Pass has found himself in the promoter’s line of fire.
The singer also addressed Abtex’s personal criticism of his music, particularly remarks comparing his vocals to artificial intelligence (AI).
Rather than taking offence, A Pass appeared comfortable with the criticism and even agreed with the promoter’s assessment.
“Abtex is right. He said I sing like AI. He added that he doesn’t understand my voice and that I sing like a success card. Whatever he said is right, and no one is opposing him,” A Pass said.
He went further, saying he enjoys the promoter’s comments and would welcome more of the same.
“He should continue ridiculing me,” the singer added.
For now, A Pass appears perfectly happy watching the verbal exchanges unfold, even if that means occasionally throwing in a few more words to keep things heated. And judging by his own admission, he is not interested in becoming the peacekeeper anytime soon.
