They cained us questioning why we didn’t come down from the top of the car as we bypassed the falls because it was risky.Namatovu also shared another memorable incident from the early years of her career when one of her colleagues in Eagles Production was absent and she was asked to step in during their performances.At the time, she was thrilled by the opportunity, believing it would give her a chance to showcase her talent and introduce herself to the audience.Stop checking your partners’ phones – Irene Namatovu advises young womenI was so excited because I thought I had gotten an audience to showcase my talent and also show the people who I really was.She confidently took to the stage and sang her heart out, unaware that something was wrong with the sound setup. It was only later that she realized the background music playing was not hers.According to Namatovu, the DJ had pulled the wire connected to her microphone, meaning she had not been singing live as she believed.I cried so much when I went backstage but later realized that I had gone wrong somewhere while singing and DJ did that not to embarrass me.Despite the embarrassment and disappointment she felt at the time, Namatovu said the experience eventually taught her a lesson and became one of the many unforgettable moments that shaped her journey in music.The post Irene Namatovu: I was caned by police during a promo in Jinja appeared first on MBU.
