Ragga Dee has opened up about one of the most bizarre experiences he faced during his music career, revealing how a promoter once tricked him after a series of performances in the Ssese Islands.Speaking on the Shalom 256 Podcast, the veteran musician said artists often go through difficult situations behind the scenes, despite fans only seeing the glamorous side of the entertainment industry. He recalled being booked to perform across several islands in Ssese, only for the promoter to allegedly disappear without paying him.According to Ragga Dee, after performing on four different islands, the promoter handed him a briefcase and asked him to keep it safe. Believing it contained his payment, the singer held onto it, unaware that the organiser was using it as a distraction while planning to escape.I was taken to Ssese Islands and after singing at like four islands, he gave me a briefcase and told me to hold it for it to be secure but instead he was planning to run away. On checking the briefcase after, it was full of matooke.Why Ragga Dee fears Mesach Semakula may stop helping struggling musiciansRagga Des explained that experiences like these are the reason he insists on clear payment arrangements before accepting bookings. He noted that some promoters label him as expensive or difficult to work with, yet his strictness is simply about protecting his brand and livelihood.I am not expensive as they say or complicated, I’m just straight on what I want. When you fail to clear me to come and sing and I don’t show up, the fans will despise me and not the organiser, therefore it’s why it’s important to make your brand. Stay hungry but let business stay business. @shalom256.clips #trendingtoday #uganda #tiktokuganda ♬ original sound – Shalom256 Clips The post Ragga Dee shares shocking story of promoter scam in Ssese Islands appeared first on MBU.
