Mikie Wine breaks silence on recent show controversy

Singer Michael Mukwaya, popularly known as Mikie Wine, has spoken out following a recent controversy surrounding his appearance at a local show, where rumors began swirling about a backstage fallout.

Addressing the press, Mikie Wine revealed that the drama stemmed from a disagreement with the event promoter, who had failed to clear the outstanding balance for his performance fee.

While the crowd waited in anticipation for his turn on stage, Mikie sat patiently in his car as fellow artist Cindy performed her set.

In the process, his manager approached the event organizer and demanded payment so that Mikie could perform and leave.

The dismissive response that the event organizer gave Mikie’s manager upset him, and he returned to the car where Mikie Wine was seated.

Since the message wasn’t showing any progress, Mikie Wine suggested that they leave and go do other business, but his manager advised him to first step on the stage immediately after Cindy got done with her set and performed three songs, and later told the crowd how he had not been paid his balance.

By performing without pay, Mikie Wine says he took the high road to avoid chaos and ensure his name stayed clear of any negative backlash.

However, the video clip that circulated online in which he is seen exchanging words with one of the organizers left him at a point where he had to give a clear stance on what transpired on the night.

His decision to put the fans first, even in the face of mistreatment, has been praised by many online.
