Ykee Benda Cautions Musicians about Saudi Gigs after Fik Gaza's Arrest

Famous Ugandan musician Ykee Benda has issued a sobering warning following the arrest of Fik Gaza in Saudi Arabia. Benda expressed concern for his fellow musicians and advised against booking shows in the Saudi Arabia, citing the recent incident as a warning. Let's discuss the ramifications of Gaza's arrest and the ripple effect it's causing within the music industry, as Ykee Benda issues a sobering reminder to his peers.

Reports from the region indicate that Gaza, who traveled to Saudi Arabia for a performance, is currently held in custody by local authorities.
The mess is caused by Gaza's visa, which was extended to cover his appearance at an event—apparently at the event promoter's insistence—despite being meant only for visiting. However, Gaza was arrested by the authorities after they discovered that he had broken Saudi Arabia's strict work permit restrictions.

Expressing concern over the dealings of music promotion in Saudi Arabia, Ykee Benda highlighted the jealousy among local promoters, who, he claims, often lead unsuspecting artists into unfortunate situations, casting a shadow over the industry's integrity.
This warning is issued against the backdrop of an increasing number of instances in which Ugandan performers have been arrested while seeking performance chances in Arab nations. Beenie Gunter is the most recent example of this, as her concert in the UAE evolved into a protracted stay that was clouded in controversy and accusations.
