The 13th edition of B.A.G (The Bag) held in Kampala has ignited a heated online debate between Kenyan and Ugandan fans, with critics clashing over deejaying standards following DJ Spinny’s performance.
Performance Sparks Cross-Border Debate
The event, which featured DJ Spinny, quickly became a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter), with users from Kenya and Uganda engaging in a back-and-forth over the quality of mixing and transitions.
At the centre of the controversy is Kenyan DJ DJ Kelden, who openly criticized the set, claiming the transitions were “way off” and below expectations for such a high-profile platform.
Kenyan Critics Weigh In
Media personality Oga Obinna also weighed in on the debate, expressing disappointment with the performance.
Obinna remarked that even as a non-professional, he believed he could deliver a better set, further fueling the online discourse.
Fans Defend Ugandan Scene
Ugandan fans and DJs, however, pushed back strongly, defending DJ Spinny and their local entertainment scene.
Many argued that music style, crowd preference, and regional taste play a significant role in how DJ performances are delivered and perceived.
Bigger Conversation on DJ Standards
The exchange has since evolved into a broader conversation about:
- DJ skill and professionalism
- Regional differences in music mixing styles
- The growing influence of East Africa’s entertainment industry
Social Media Amplifies Rivalry
What started as a critique has now turned into a full-blown “X war,” highlighting the passionate fan bases in both countries and the competitive nature of the region’s DJ culture.
As the debate rages on, BAG Edition 13 has unintentionally become a catalyst for a wider discussion on talent, standards, and the evolving sound of East African nightlife.
