Legend Kash Owakabi Disowns his Son Mc Young Moni: “Stick to the Mic — Not the Dirty Game of Politics

When you talk about Northern Uganda’s finest on the mic, one name commands respect like no other — Kash Owakabi. A certified East African legend, comedian, and events king, Kash has taken his craft from Gulu to Kigali, and from Kampala to Kenya, proving that northern talent can shine anywhere. Just this mid-October, the man himself lit up a major show in Rwanda, leaving fans in stitches, before headlining several gigs across Kampala. 

The North’s finest didn’t just perform — he raised the bar for every upcoming emcee dreaming of the spotlight.

But while Kash continues to make East African rounds, one of his protégés, Mc Young Moni, has found himself trending for all the wrong reasons. Word hit the streets of Gulu City that the young hype master was spotted defacing campaign posters of NUP’s Bobi Wine and singer Liama ahead of the presidential campaign trail. A reckless move that quickly sparked debate across social media and sent shockwaves through the entertainment scene.

In a country where politics can easily swallow your career, Kash Owakabi’s response came swift and sharp — like a father setting his son straight. He took to his page with a public message that sounded equal parts tough love and street wisdom:

> “Dear Young Moni my son, go slow. I didn’t introduce you to Mceeing to be doing this kind of thing. In Uganda, it’s unconstitutional — if it’s formally taken up, you can be charged and jailed. Let’s stick to the business that brought us here — the microphone and making people happy. Let’s not ruin the foundation we’ve built over time. Our job is simply to entertain. Yours truly, Baba.”

That message hit deep. It wasn’t just directed at Young Moni — it was a mirror held up to every youth mixing showbiz with politics. Kash wasn’t scolding; he was teaching survival.

Because in Uganda’s creative space, where emotions and politics run hot, one wrong move can silence your mic for good. Kash knows that too well — he’s been in the game long enough to understand that the true power of an entertainer isn’t in tearing down posters but in lifting up crowds.

Fans online have since praised the legend for standing his ground.

“Baba Kash is not just talking to Young Moni. He’s talking to every upcoming emcee in the North who thinks controversy equals success,” one fan posted.

And that’s facts. Kash Owakabi is living proof that discipline, respect, and focus can take you places where clout never will. His East African tour is a lesson in consistency — from the laughter in Rwanda to the applause in Kampala, the man has turned his mic into a passport.

So to the new generation of entertainers rising from the North — here’s the gospel according to Kash Owakabi:

Respect the mic. Build your name. Leave politics for politicians.

Because as Kash himself says, “Our job is to entertain — not to destroy what we built.”

Kash Owakabi — the North’s loudest export, a legend teaching the youth that the real campaign is on stage.
