Dancehall sensational artiste Vampino has expressed dissatisfaction that is condemned by Uganda prisons services for always chopping off people’s hair. Over the past years, prisons services has maintained its policy of fully shaving off new inmates’ hair to bald heads.
While appearing in an interview, Vampino said that he is not happy at all with the way Alien Skin’s dread locks were cut off. He urged them to always respect artists since thats the identity they use to always secure a living.
“Knowing that they cut off his dreads has hurt me so much because he is a soldier. These people should first get to understand the kind of business we do as they arrest us. They should also consider the fact that as an artist, his image makes money. Despite him committing a crime, please consider what makes him make money to survive out there,” Vampino clarified.
Vampino extended his sympathy towards Alien and elaborated how the arrest would result into huge debts to him since its Christmas season.
He, however, advised fellow artists to avoid moving around with large groups of people (Gaali) who he says can easily commit crimes and land them into problems.
