In the beginning, the “Beef” between Swangz Avenue and Galaxy FM was witnessed a few days before Azawi’s concert and the very day of her concert! According to Swangz and its close Associates, Galaxy FM radio played them dirty by spreading false accusations against their artiste Azawi as well as her concert! Galaxy FM, through their sensationalized tabloid news website ran a story saying that Azawi is a big star who was poorly packaged! They mentioned that her concert had flopped however talented she was. Their headline went like,
Packaged like Rihanna but sold like Full Figure! Afraid of a flop, Azawi gives away free tickets to local fans she had ignored for long”!
To make matters worse,, on the day of Azawi’s concert, the same Radio station via their social platforms posted a photo of unoccupied chairs in the audience with a caption talking about how the show was underway, this same post was perceived as a move by Galaxy FM to portray Azawi’s concert as a flop!
With all this going on, another concert by Swangz Avenue has caused a stir between Swangz Avenue and Galaxy FM whereby they decided to announce the upcoming concert of Winnie Nwagi as a show of support and togetherness. Let us keep in mind that Galaxy FM is the number one radio station that supports Ugandan music and Ugandan artistes. It is shocking however that they chose to downplay Azawi and now it has caused a strife between them and Swangz Avenue.
When the poster hit the media pages of Galaxy FM, a fuming Nwagi saw it and instead of being happy about the promotion of her concert, she attacked the station, mentioning that she did not need them to advertise for her and she could handle everything on her own.
"I don't need you to advertise for me!" Came Nwagi's reply.
Well the rift between Galaxy FM and Swangz Avenue seems to be growing wider as it has now turned into a generational beef spiced with sauce. Galaxy FM is the station that has been big on promoting Ugandan musicians and in all sincerity, Swangz Avenue needs them. This doesn't mean that Galaxy FM doesn't need Swangz Avenue because they do. Where does this beef leave everyone however? Isn't it at a big loss?
