Singer and comedian Obedi Lubega, popularly known as Reign Omusoyisoyi from the comedy duo Maulana and Reign, has made an unusual move by allowing others to remake his songs. This decision came about after Reign released a recent song titled “Omusenze,” which he crafted using Pastor Wilson Bugembe’s “Miracle” as inspiration. Bugembe’s song had stirred political controversy due to its lyrics seemingly targeting the ruling regime.

He expressed openness to others redoing his music, including hits like “Long Time” and “Nyoko,” citing it as a gesture of love and sharing among Ugandans.
Reign’s actions didn’t go unnoticed, and Pastor Bugembe took the opportunity to distance himself from the controversy. He clarified that he had no involvement in Reign’s song and only stumbled upon it online. Bugembe reaffirmed his allegiance to the ruling party, praising President Museveni for the freedom of worship in Uganda.
This development showcases a unique blend of artistic inspiration and political tension within Uganda’s entertainment scene.
