Trending artiste Patrick Mulwana, aka Alien Skin, is the latest to join the fray but with a divergent opinion, unlike his peers.
Alien Skin believes Ham is making a strategic business decision with a bigger picture in having Burna Boy perform at Nakivubo's opening.
While addressing fans in a TikTok live video, Alien Skin acknowledged Ham might be interested in attracting international attention, a stimulus for prospective business.

"There is a reason why Ham might have chosen an international artiste over local talents," he said before adding.
"He might be interested in marketing the stadium because he will receive free international publicity about the facility, which might get him bigger opportunities."
When asked about fellow artists' concerns that he ought to have considered local musicians, Alien Skin believes that the experience of performing on the same stage as an international artiste would benefit Ugandan acts.
"Local artists will freely mix and perform on the same stage with an international star," Alien Skin said.
"Which can come with a chance for an instant music collaboration, something that would have taken a lot of resources to pull off single-handedly. There is no stupid rich man."
