TV Star JK Kazoora Spits Venom as he Musicians "Selfish People on Earth"

Legendary media personality JK Kazoora has blasted Ugandan musicians, claiming they are the most selfish people on Earth.

Through his X (formerly Twitter) account, Kazoora claimed musicians never reached out to him when he lost his father, Major Kazoora, and that only Bobi Wine attended the burial.

Kazoora said he didn’t even receive a condolence message from any of the artists.

He felt betrayed because he believed he had done a lot for many of them throughout the years.

“I have done quite a bit for some musicians, but not even one condolence message from any musician. I have always said musicians are users and the most selfish people on Earth. Only @HEBobiwine reached out,” he wrote.

JK Kazoora also hinted at joining the National Unity Platform to leverage his political career as he eyes a political office shortly.

Earlier, Kazoora apologized to Bobi Wine and the Leader of Opposition, Joel Senyonyi, for the missed opportunity to address mourners at his father’s burial.

“My brothers @HEBobiwine @JoelSsenyonyi, thank you for coming to send off our great father Major John Kazoora. I apologize 🙏 they couldn’t give you a chance to speak, but I’m sure you saw how Kashari youth love you ❤️ one love,” he wrote on his X handle.
