Edwin Katamba, widely known as MC Kats, is a prominent Ugandan TV personality, events emcee, and entertainment figure who recently found himself at the center of controversy following a public feud with musician-turned-politician Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine.
The tension between MC Kats and Bobi Wine appears to stem from a series of public statements made by Kats.
Kats, who has been open about his HIV-positive status, expressed frustration over fans using his health as a weapon in their attacks.
With all due respect Mr. Bobi Wine, between me and you, you know there’s a very big secret, and I have never said it.
He hinted at possessing a “big secret” about Bobi Wine, threatening to reveal it if the harassment continued. This provocative stance was perceived as an attack on Bobi Wine’s character and leadership, igniting outrage among the politician’s ardent followers.
Mc Kats further warned that if these attacks continue, he would have no choice but to expose this secret.
If your boys bring back my kids, my family, and my HIV status in the upcoming elections, me I have nothing to lose—I am as good as dead.
Bobi Wine, a revered figure in Uganda’s entertainment and political spheres, commands a massive and passionate fanbase, often referred to as the “foot soldiers” of his People Power movement and NUP.
His supporters are known for their fierce loyalty and readiness to defend him against perceived slights.
