Artin Pro Breaks Silence Over Uncle Chumi's S=xual Harassment Allegations

Celebrated Ugandan music producer Musoke Martin, popularly known as Artin Pro, has come forward to clear the air amid swirling controversy involving rising artist Uncle Chumi, born Mushabe Crek Haidare.

The drama stems from a recent studio collaboration between the two on Chumi’s song “Who,” which has since sparked public debate following allegations made by the artist against Artin.

In particular, Chumi accused the producer of inappropriate behavior during their studio sessions — claims Artin Pro strongly denies.

In a statement released to the public, Artin shed light on how he came to work with Chumi. He revealed that he initially had reservations about the project but was convinced to offer his services voluntarily after being informed that it had backing from a sponsor.

“I undertake projects for various reasons – sometimes for commercial gain, but often to uplift and support emerging talent,” Martin explained. “Motivated by this spirit and my humble beginnings, I agreed to volunteer my services on this occasion.”

He also addressed the impact the allegations have had on both his personal and professional life, revealing that the situation has caused distress among his family, clients, and industry colleagues.

“Such claims may appear trivial to some, but I take them seriously, particularly when they threaten my professional reputation and legacy,” he added.

Taking a firmer tone, Artin directly addressed Uncle Chumi, warning that her actions could come with serious legal and reputational consequences if left unaddressed. While some may have viewed the situation as a joke or publicity stunt, the producer made it clear that he considers the accusations deeply damaging.

“If this matter was intended in jest, I assure you that to me, it is no laughing matter – it is an attack on my reputation and legacy,” Artin further stated.

He concluded by urging Chumi to issue a sincere and public apology, leaving the door open for reconciliation but making it clear that his integrity remains non-negotiable.

The incident is just the latest in a string of controversies surrounding Uncle Chumi, who has previously come under fire for controversial remarks targeting DJs and other figures in the Ugandan music scene. Whether this latest chapter ends in apology or escalation remains to be seen.

Big Tril Weighs in on Bebe Cool’s 'Break The Chains' Strategy- Says it won't sell

Ugandan hip-hop artist Big Tril has sparked conversation within the local music scene after sharing candid insights about fellow musician Bebe Cool’s latest album, Break The Chains.

The rapper, best known for his continental hit Party After Party, questioned the strategic direction of Bebe’s new project, citing its heavy Nigerian influence as a possible commercial risk.

Speaking during a recent interview, Big Tril reflected on the complexities artists face when blending local authenticity with continental appeal. He pointed out that while Afro Beats continues to dominate African airwaves, artists from outside West Africa often struggle to break into that market unless they offer a unique, localized sound.

“I tried it once in 2018,” he admitted, referencing his attempt to cater to West African tastes. “The reception wasn’t good. I learned that staying true to your sound resonates more.”

The rapper emphasized that success came when he returned to his Ugandan roots, creating music that blended local flavor with modern production. He believes Bebe Cool, a longtime pillar in Uganda’s music industry, may have miscalculated by pursuing a style that, in his view, neither Ugandans nor Nigerians will fully embrace.

Meanwhile, Bebe Cool remains confident in his direction. Currently promoting Break The Chains through a regional media tour, he is set to kick off a global performance series, starting in Nairobi. Industry watchers are now eager to see whether his Afro Beats experiment will open new markets — or highlight the risks of crossing sonic borders.
