The Infamous Social Media War: Cyber Bullies Attack Artistes over ‘Silence’ on Bobi Wine Arrest
Following the arrest of the National Unity Platform (NUP) party president Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine in Luuka on Wednesday, angry social media users have tasked all celebrities to publicly condemn the manner in which Kyagulanyi was arrested and the “excessive force” used by Police while suppressing the subsequent protests.
These attacked whoever posted anything other than something about the detention of Kyagulanyi, asking them to “come back to their senses” as they threatened to boycott their music if they (artistes) don’t act as per the former’s request.
Among those who fell victim to yesterday’s social media war is Sheebah Karungi, Eddy Kenzo and Bebe Cool among others.
Sheebah posted photos from her 31st birthday party captioned “Unapologetically HUSTLING For what I want” and within less than 30 minutes, the post had more than 1000 ‘hate comments’.
