Singer Stabua Natooro has spoken out against upcoming musicians who brand themselves as “junior” versions of established artists, urging them to build their own identities instead of capitalizing on other people’s hard-earned reputations.The singer stressed that using another artist’s name for recognition is equivalent to exploiting someone else’s business. She encouraged aspiring musicians to establish their own brands and experience the hard work it takes to grow from the ground up.Ladies and gentlemen, especially those who use our names by adding the word ‘Junior,’ I would like to inform you that this is our business. Build your own business and thrive, but not on our names. Stop playing with our brands.The “Tujanjawaze” hitmaker explained that established musicians invested years of hard work, time, and money to reach where they are today, and it is unfair for others to reap where they never sowed.These songs that we perform, we worked tirelessly to be where we are. We invested our time and money. Even getting people to know us wasn’t easy—we have overcome a lot. You can’t just come from nowhere and reap where you never sowed. God doesn’t give free things.Gen.

Those who use our names while claiming to promote our music are not welcome. Stop those promotion claims.”“Tetwagala promotions zammwe” Stabua Natooro ku nsonga z’abatambulira mu linnya lye#DailySoup pic.twitter.com/ibH3p0lfFz— SPARK TV (@sparktvuganda) June 18, 2026The post Stabua Natooro slams ‘junior’ artists for exploiting established names appeared first on MBU.
