Ugandan dancehall singer Karole Kasita has apologised to fellow musician Yung Mulo for missing his Independence Day concert, admitting that she failed to promote the event despite knowing it was happening.
During a YouTube interview, Kasita addressed her absence from the show, which took place at Fusion Auto Spa in Munyonyo. She acknowledged that she had not taken the extra step of publicising the concert and asked her fellow musician to forgive her.
“I sincerely apologise to him. I want him to forgive me. I do not know why I didn’t post about his show or even talk about it. I’m guilty as charged,” Kasita said.
She added that she may not have fully registered the details of the event, while reiterating that she was sorry for not showing up.
“To be sincere I do not think I got to know about it enough. I might have skipped it and I’m really sorry,” she explained.
Kasita’s comments come amid public discussion about attendance at Yung Mulo’s concert, which was held on October 9, 2026, as part of Uganda’s Independence Day celebrations.
Several musicians attended the event, including Jowy Landa, Ziza Bafana, King Saha, Bula Biso, Red Banton and Navio, among others.
However, the show also became a subject of debate over claims that it had attracted a disappointing turnout.
Kasita pushed back against that narrative, arguing that media coverage was portraying the event as a failure despite people turning up to support the singer.
“People supported him. It is the media claiming otherwise. The media is trying to push a certain narrative but people came through,” she said.
She maintained that even a small audience can represent meaningful support for an artist, adding that she could not personally account for everyone who attended.
The singer also defended artists who did not attend the concert, saying that musicians make individual decisions about which events to support and may have personal reasons for their absence.
“I think artists choose who they want to support and who they do not want. They have their own reasons and I cannot speak for them as to why they didn’t turn up. I speak for myself,” she said.
Her remarks separated her own apology from the wider debate over the concert’s attendance. While Kasita accepted responsibility for not promoting or attending the show, she cautioned against judging other artists without knowing their circumstances.
The exchange highlights the expectations that can surround relationships between musicians, particularly when artists are expected to publicly support one another’s concerts.
Kasita has now made her position clear: she regrets missing Yung Mulo’s event, but disputes the suggestion that the concert received no meaningful support.
