DJ Richie Is Turned Up: “Artists with Campaign Cash Forgetting DJs—See You at the Bar”
By Entertainmnet Desk | KamuleKumalo.com
Last Sunday Brunch at Oxford Sports Lounge felt like the entire north had clocked out early. Beers sweating on tables, laughter bouncing off the walls, and the unmistakable aroma of nyama choma floating through the air. But this wasn’t just any night — Manchester United was back on a winning streak, and fans had plastered their jerseys on like it was a small campaign rally. Screens flickered with counterattacks, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife, and the lounge was alive with that low hum of anticipation.
Midway through the game, just when the crowd’s cheers had settled into a collective murmur, a ripple of whispers cut through the room. Someone big had just walked in. And not the kind of big who announces themselves with bodyguards and flashbulbs — the kind whose aura does the talking. Hon. Bosmic Otim, artist, politician, and chief mobilizer himself, strolled in, flanked by his brother-in-art Okeng Born City, here to catch the game with the people.
Oxford Sports Lounge: More Than Just a Friday Night

When Bosmic Walked In, The Mic Woke Up

“Gulu City! Make some noise! The OG himself — Hon. Bosmic Otim — is in the building to watch Man Utd bring it home!”
The place erupted. Tables rattled, bottles clinked, and someone somewhere yelled, “Bosmic 4 life!” Even the waitresses, mid-service, started swaying as if pulled by invisible strings. That mic drop transformed a normal football night into an instant spectacle. Bosmic smiled, offered a small salute, and ordered a full crate of beer — straight to the DJ booth. Just like that, the lounge turned holy, and the vibe was untouchable.
When the Crate Spoke Louder Than the Commentary
If you know Gulu nightlife, you know a crate ain’t just a crate — it’s a language of respect. DJs aren’t just playing music; they’re setting the rhythm of the night, the invisible heartbeat of the party. So when Bosmic sent that crate, it wasn’t about drinks — it was a message: “I see you. I value what you do.”
Every DJ in that room felt it deep. Too often, creatives make stars dance and sweat but never get a toast in return.
“Out of love for fellow creatives,” Bosmic waved off the gesture like it was nothing. But in reality, every beat, every swig, carried the weight of respect — the kind money can’t buy.
In brown bottles, the lesson was served cold, clear, and unpretentious.
The Dream Team: Richie and the Transition King
On the decks, magic was happening. DJ Richie, the old-school sensei with playlists deeper than Lake Albert, and DJ Crystal, the young transition king from AfroLabs, had the crowd locked in. Crystal’s mixes glide like silk — switching beats so seamlessly you’d swear the tracks were siblings separated at birth. Together, they controlled the night like pilots flying turbulence-free.
Richie spun classics; Crystal layered in fresh Afrobeats sauce. The lounge moved as one pulsing organism — laughter syncing, beers clinking, and Bosmic cheering every Man United pass like it was a campaign rally all over again.
“Artists Who Got Campaign Money — We Shall Meet in the Bar”
As the night deepened, Richie dropped his now-legendary line — half humor, half fire:
“Artists who got campaign money and forgot the DJs — we shall meet in the bar!”
The crowd lost it. Phones went up. Social feeds lit up like fireworks. But beneath the banter was a serious truth: DJs are the invisible backbone of every artist’s career. They push tracks, test vibes, and keep music alive long after the hype fades. Richie didn’t sound bitter — he sounded bold. Because that night, surrounded by peers, beers, and beats, he wasn’t just spinning — he was speaking for the culture.
Respect: The Real Currency of the Game
Bosmic’s gesture wasn’t charity. It was a lesson. In an industry full of talk, he acted. He reminded everyone that creatives feed creatives, and loyalty is a better investment than clout.
In this hustle, respect buys louder applause than fame.
And if you ever forget that… well — we shall meet in the bar.
