Former Kawempe South MP, Hon. Mubaraka Munyagwa Sserunga, has dismissed allegations of a personal feud with Mansoor Ssemanda, popularly known as King Saha, following their heated public clash over political ideology.
The confrontation, which has dominated online debate circles and talk shows, erupted after the two exchanged sharp criticisms rooted in their opposing political stances. However, Munyagwa insists the matter has been exaggerated and blown out of proportion.
“I don’t have any personal issues with King Saha,” Munyagwa stated. “We are not on the same level.”
The outspoken former legislator distanced himself from what many social media users have framed as a bitter rivalry. Instead, he described the disagreement as purely ideological and suggested the singer may be capitalizing on controversy to regain public attention.
“Fading musicians use this as a way to gain relevance by going after big names like mine,” he said bluntly, a remark that is already stirring fresh debate within Uganda’s entertainment circles.
Addressing personal jabs thrown at him during the exchange, Munyagwa responded with characteristic confidence.
“I may be bald, but I think deeply. I was simply offering advice, and he overreacted,” he remarked.
During the spat, King Saha reportedly referred to him as a “broker,” a label Munyagwa appeared unfazed by.
“He called me a broker, and yes, lawyers are essentially brokers,” he added, brushing off the criticism.
Munyagwa further emphasized that he sees no reason for continued confrontation, arguing that they belong to entirely different professional spheres — politics and music — and should remain in their respective lanes.
He also appealed to media personality Adam Kungu to avoid revisiting the issue in future discussions, signaling his intention to move on from the controversy.
Despite his dismissal of feud claims, the exchange has reignited conversations about the increasing intersection between politics and entertainment in Uganda, with artists and politicians alike using their platforms to influence public opinion.
For now, Munyagwa maintains there is no personal grudge — only a difference in political ideology. Whether the public will see it the same way remains to be seen.
