In a video interview with NTV’s The Beat, Rabadaba discredited Uganda’s dancehall artists, saying no dancehall artist has tasted success like him. He added that he has traversed the whole country, and people sing his songs word for word.

These statements did not sit well with A Pass, who, through the same TV station, came out and what Rabadaba said spoke through feelings and that it was disrespectful to him as a dancehall artist.

“Anyone can say whatever they have to say, but it doesn’t mean it is factual. I think he spoke through feelings,” A Pass stated.

He further emphasized that eliminating his name from dancehall is disrespectful because he has done more dancehall than the majority of the artists who do dancehall, and they know it, and that if anyone is doubting, they should come for a challenge.

He also threw some jibes at Rabadab,a saying that he ran away. “Because he has stepped out of Kampala, and people still sing his music, he was good and since he was so good, he ran away. If you believe what you are doing is exceptional, stay here and do it, and I will be honest with you, I am not running away.”
