MC Kats Sparks Outrage As He Launches Federation For Influencers
MC Kats is currently trending for all the wrong reasons after photos surfaced of him alongside State Minister for ICT Hon. Godfrey Baluku Kabyanga officially launching the Federation of Uganda Social Media Influencers Limited.
While the veteran emcee frames this as a win for the industry, Kampala digital creators are smelling a rat and accusing Kats of setting up a gatekeeping syndicate.
The sudden move to formalize influencing has many wondering who exactly authorized him to speak for the streets.
The details of the new federation suggest a push for unity among digital content creators, with names already listed as key players.
However, the Limited status of the company has raised eyebrows, signaling that this might be a private business venture rather than a genuine union.
Critics argue that Kats is simply trying to regulate a space he no longer dominates to ensure he remains relevant to government sponsors.
This aggressive move into the association business follows the massive 5 billion shilling jackpot Kasuku allegedly secured after his high-profile State House visit in late 2025.
Ever since that promise, the city has seen a desperate scramble among aging media personalities to form groups that can lobby for similar government crumbs.
Kats is clearly following the 2025 blueprint of turning social media influence into a direct pipeline for state house envelopes.
Is this a genuine move to professionalize the industry, or is Kats just the latest veteran trying to secure a pension before the state house taps run dry?
