Singer Big Eye cries out to the public to spare him the bottles for being an NRM supporter
Musician Big Eye real names Ibrahim Mayanja has pleaded with the public to spare hitting him with bottles on stage for being a big fan of the National Resistance Movement (NRM).
Big Eye who posted on his social media platform aired out his disappointed in a statement adding that he did not like the approach in which he was welcomed on a stage during his recent performance by a section of some fans.
Singer Big Eye was rescued off the stage by the security following a Wednesday evening performance at Uganda Museum as NBS Television’s UNCUT celebrated its first anniversary.
Besides voicing out many waves of abuse towards the musician, the revellers also threw bottles in protest of his performance and appearance on stage.
This all came up a day after Big Eye had raised complaints of Ugandans mistreating all NRM diehard supporters and musicians.
However, the singer has begged Ugandans to stop mixing their political desires with music citing that it’s his job and he has to do it for his family to survive.
“I am still a young man who still needs to work so hard for my little children, my mother, my father and my other family members. I haven’t prepared for my children. I haven’t even built a house for them. Where will they be when you kill me just for supporting president Museveni,

Big Eye is not the first NRM diehard musician to be hit with bottles and no one knows whether he will be the last. Last month Catherine Kusasira and Full Figure also experienced the same ruthless treatment.
Meanwhile, earlier last year Moses Ssali alias Bebe Cool was also rushed off stage by the police after the public had turned ruthless towards him.
As the latest guy to now experiences such treatment, Big Eye implied that he has been an NRM supporter since he was still young and during all this period he has been entertaining Ugandans on stage with freedom.
“Why do you divide our motherland, Uganda is for all of us. I have supported NRM since way back, I have entertained Ugandans for all the years when am in NRM. Uganda why? My people why?” Big Eye added wondering why now the same people have turned against him.
