Singer Alexander Bagonza, popularly known as A Pass, has cleared the air over his absence from Lil Pazo’s Mbarara festival, shutting down critics who questioned why he did not show up for the highly anticipated event.Following the chatter surrounding his no-show, A Pass explained that there was never any arrangement for him to perform at the Mbarara show, despite promoting the concert. According to A Pass, he had not been booked for the event and therefore had no reason to travel to Mbarara.Guys, let me clear this for those who say that I didn’t show up for Lil Pazo’s show in Mbarara. I was not supposed to be there. I promoted the concert for him, but I never said anywhere that I was going to be there. And I was not booked to perform in Mbarara for Lil Pazo’s show.He further revealed that he had another performance commitment in Kampala on the same night, urging critics to stop putting pressure on musicians to attend or perform at fellow artists’ concerts simply because they are colleagues.Netizens question Gloria Bugie’s phone theft claim“I was booked to perform elsewhere in Kampala. So stop putting people under pressure for not performing at fellow artists’ shows. Did you see him at my concert yet it was in Kampala? He must have been busy with his own bookings,” he added.A Pass insisted that performing at another artist’s concert is a business arrangement that requires a formal booking, making it clear that friendship or industry ties alone do not automatically guarantee an appearance.“I had to be booked for me to go to Mbarara to perform at his show. That is the music business.”A Pass Explains His Absence At Lil Pazo’s Festival In Mbarara yesterday. pic.twitter.com/HaG7AFBF86— 𝐋𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐚𝐛 (@lyriclab_ug) September 6, 2026The post Why A Pass missed Lil Pazo’s Mbarara festival appeared first on MBU.
