A group of Ugandan TikTok creators and bloggers, including Sky Solja and Jobless Billionaire, have reportedly headed to singer Bebe Cool’s residence in Kiwatule, Kampala, demanding payment for work they say remains unpaid from the recent presidential campaign.
The TikTokers were reportedly among a group of influencers who moved with Bebe Cool across different parts of Uganda during the recent presidential election campaign activities.
Recent posts on X on September 14, 2026, described the gathering as a peaceful demonstration by content creators seeking compensation for their alleged involvement in campaign-related activities.
The creators are reportedly demanding payment for the work they carried out during the campaign period, although the exact amount they are seeking has not been established.
The development comes amid wider complaints from artists and performers who participated in NRM campaign rallies and have publicly raised concerns about delayed payments.
Rapper Gravity Omutujju, for instance, has previously claimed that Bebe Cool owes him approximately Shs400 million for campaign performances.
Gravity alleged that he had been paid about Shs100 million out of an agreed Shs500 million for performances at various rallies, with individual appearances reportedly costing around Shs4 million.
Bebe Cool’s camp, including his son and manager, has responded to the payment complaints, explaining that delays were linked to pending funds from the NRM Secretariat.
They have also urged those with payment disputes to pursue legal channels rather than handling the matter through social media, while asking for patience.
Other artists, including Buchaman, have also raised similar complaints over unpaid campaign-related fees.
Bebe Cool has acknowledged delays in some statements and indicated that clarity on the outstanding payments was expected soon.
