Bebe Cools decision was apparently informed by the news that South Sudan was planning to expel foreigners, including Ugandans in order to reserve the national cake for its citizens

Artistes Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool are currently bickering seriously on social media.
The heat was generated by an earlier controversial post by Bebe Cool in which he stated that he would be returning a favour to South Sudan by not allowing its nationals to his concerts.

Bebe Cools decision was apparently informed by the news that South Sudan was planning to expel foreigners, including Ugandans in order to reserve the national cake for its citizens.

The said post went viral, attracting scorn, abuse as well as cheers from different parties.

South Sudan has decided to send away all foreigners who work in South Sudan deadline 15th oct,that includes all our fellow Ugandan brothers n sisters who had invested thier lives in South Sudan.if it is true,let me be the first person to react positively by saying LET NO SOUTH SUDANESE EVER ATTEND MY CONCERTS AND I SHALL DO NO FAVOR FOR ANY SOUTH SUDANEE effective 15th October .Scratch my back I scratch your.gagamel for ever

Bebe Cool's statement rubbed Bobi wine the wrong way and he quickly gave the Big size an ultimatum to apologize

Bobi wine wrote:
OK, I must express my disappointment. Governments of different countries have always had misunderstandings, some even go to war, but this has never stopped the citizens of those countries from working together. Allow me to remind you big brother that some time ago the governments of Uganda and Rwanda had some misunderstandings and the two armies even clashed in Kisangani, take an example of the Uganda /Kenya clash over #migingoIsland etc... but government business never stopped citizens of the two countries from living like brothers and sisters. We all do not want governments of other countries to to deny our people work opportunities because we accommodate theirs, but I think it's rather careless to attack an ENTIRE POPULATION OF A COUNTRY because of a government policy. I have personally done some business with South Sudanese and a lot of them are good people .When Amin expelled Indians from Uganda in the 1970s,if the Indians had your kind of mindset, You would not have Sudir seated in your audience today. So Mr. Bebe Cool, I CHALLENGE YOU TO APOLOGIZE TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH SUDAN.it will save you a lot of hate and it will build a good relationship between our people, Ugandans and Sudanese. NB:This challenge is valid for only Seven days(1week)

Bebe Cool however, did not take the challenge seriously for he treated Bobi Wine's attack as an opportune moment to remain relevant in the face of his upcoming Size yo launch. This he made clear in his Tweet: @BebeCoolUg “Flopped UG ‘tontomist’ (this can mean a talker imitating music) seeking attention. A Hit Song Does Better.Lol.”
