Ugandan singer Kid Fox, who recently returned to the country after 14 years in Japan, has become involved in public disputes regarding his relationship with musician Bobi Wine.

Following backlash for previously denying any connection to the artist, Kid Fox retracted his claims in an interview with Sanyuka TV. He admitted the remarks were a tactic to gain attention and clarified that he and Bobi Wine attended the same school, describing him as a talented ‘brother.’

In response to the controversy, veteran musician Weasel Manizo issued a public warning to Kid Fox via a TikTok live stream. Manizo advised the singer to respect the current dynamics of the local music industry and cautioned him against disparaging Bobi Wine, noting that the artist has achieved a status that places him in a ‘different league.’
