In a revealing conversation, singer Denzo has opened up about the critical role Hon. Geofrey Kayemba Ssolo played in transforming Rema Namakula’s career. He candidly admitted that without Kayemba’s intervention, Rema might have remained just another name in the background, tied to the Gagamel crew.
Denzo explained that the traditional management style from those within Bebe Cool’s camp was stifling Rema’s talent, relegating her to the role of a mere backup singer, which did little to showcase her extraordinary abilities.
However, Hon. Kayemba saw potential where others did not. He bravely stepped in, choosing to support Rema and help her step into the limelight, ultimately propelling her onto the path of stardom.
Denzo recounted a heated exchange in the early days when Hon. Kayemba began investing in Rema’s future. Initially met with pushback, Rema ultimately chose to embrace this new direction, and it was a game-changing decision that led her towards remarkable success.
The singer of “Big Mouth By Far” expressed his frustrations, noting that individuals close to Bebe Cool often created barriers, stifling the artistic growth of those within Gagamel. The struggle didn’t stop at creativity; even the simple act of promoting fellow artists on Gagamel’s social media was fraught with conflict. This constant struggle helped explain why so many talents found it difficult to flourish under this label.
