“Support My Music, Not My Politics” – Fik Gaza Claps Back at Critics Over NRM Move

Musician Fik Gaza has addressed the growing criticism surrounding his recent decision to align himself with the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party, making it clear that his political affiliation should not overshadow his music career. Speaking out in defense of his decision, the “Banana” hitmaker urged fans and critics alike to focus on what truly matters—his art. “People should stop crucifying me for my political choices. What matters most is the music I create, not the party I support,” Fik Gaza said. His move to join NRM sparked backlash from a section of fans, particularly those who feel that artists should stand with the opposition due to the political climate in the country. However, Fik remains unbothered, emphasizing that his involvement in politics is a personal choice and should not be weaponized against his craft. “I have the right to support whoever I want. Let’s not mix music with politics. I’m here to entertain and represent Ugandan music, regardless of political affiliations,” he added. Despite the criticism, Fik Gaza continues to thrive musically, releasing new projects and performing at major events. He insists that his energy is now focused on growing his brand and uplifting the music industry. With this bold stance, Fik joins a growing list of Ugandan artists who have openly aligned themselves with political movements, further fueling the conversation around the intersection of music and politics in the country.
