Hip-hop, Afropop, and dancehall artist Fik Fameica, real name Shafik Walukagga’s social media X, has been confiscated by the handler based in San Francisco on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, for joining forces with the government.

According to the communication posted on X by the handler, he confiscated the account that he built to promote Fik Fameica, but he instead joined hands with the government, which goes against their values.

“As the administrator behind his Twitter account, I have made the difficult decision to confiscate the account that I built for him. Despite my efforts to amplify important messages about human rights and justice through his platform, Fik Fameica has chosen to align himself with the government and participate in
influencer programs that go against the values we once stood for. I want to make it clear that every post and tweet made on the artist’s account was crafted by me, and I have been the voice behind his online presence,” the handler wrote on X.

“It is disheartening to see the artist turn away from the people who supported him and instead choose to join forces with the government. While his popularity and success have grown, it has been at the expense of the values we once shared. I now leave it to you, the public, to decide the artist’s fate,” X handler added.

The account’s confiscation comes days after Fameica was in Greater Masaka during the launch of the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), which saw other artists like Gravity Omutujju, Bebe Cool, Jose Chameleone, Alien Skin, Weasle, Melody, and Winnie Nwagi perform for the crowd on Friday, March 15, 2024, at the Masaka Liberation Square in Masaka City.

Fik Fameica is known for his hit songs like Buligita, Omu Bwati, My Property, Mwanga, Majje, Sitoma, Style Nta, Tosukuma, Kanzunzu, Tubikole, Kutama, and many more.
