On several instances we have seen artists come out in the madia, and make"stupid" unthought comments on national TV, or Radio or Print and even online. I think you all remember when Radio came on to NTV The Beat and called Jeff Kiwa a "Rat" (read Emmese in capt Dollar's Voice). I think
you also rememebr when another artist beat up a journalist on claims that the journalist said some "bad"(read bad as ebisiyaga) words about him.
Yes he could be fine and this whole story could have been cooked up, but what if the truth is that he actually gave out that information to The New Vision, doesn't this put the media at stake?
I think musiicians need good PR and should never take an interview out of the blue. Think think think.

I mean to ask, what is the role of the media? I think the media is supposed to bring out the good, best, bad, worse, ugly and everything in that line.
Earlier this week I saw a story on The New Vision website, where they interviewed a Ugandan musician Coco Finger and he bluntly said,
"...................... There a few who understand and that’s why I will never settle down with a Ugandan girl. I prefer whites".This is a statement that can only be made by someone who has not taken time to think things out. Surprisingly, Coco went to The New Vision Facebook page and commented,
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no plizz .This is not ryt,whoever put this in paper is just trying to look for ways to put me down bt no u can't in the name of God. . . . . . . am a proud black African n proud of our black wemen.i have a happy family wth a black woman n am proud we are blessed wth a beautiful daughter . The fact is i prefer
Black Ugandan ladies to whites.fuuuul stoooooop.from that comment, the aim of the artist is to show that a main stream media channel like New Vision publishes Yellow Journalistic work. Am not saying this is entirely wrong, what if Coco Finger is right?
