Eddy Yaawe Defends Decision to Bring Moses Matovu's Son into Afrigo Band

Following the passing of legendary Afrigo Band leader Moses Matovu in September, the iconic group made the decision to bring his son, Ibrah Matovu, on board to take over his father’s role. This transition has sparked mixed reactions among the band’s loyal supporters, with many debating whether the younger Matovu is ready to shoulder the heavy legacy.

Weighing in on the ongoing discussion, fellow Ugandan musician Eddy Yaawe has stepped forward to defend the decision. Yaawe, who has frequently shared the stage with Afrigo Band throughout his career, believes that Ibrah deserves a fair opportunity to prove his musical capabilities rather than facing premature criticism from the public.

While offering his perspective, Yaawe was quick to clarify that he is not an official member of the group and does not partake in their internal management decisions. He emphasized that the ultimate judgment should rest in the hands of the fans, who will naturally determine whether Ibrah can successfully live up to the immense expectations associated with his father’s shoes.
