Tracy Melon has sparked conversation across the music industry after a painful New Year’s Eve moment that saw her booed off stage
Fast-rising singer Tracy Melon has sparked conversation across the music industry after a painful New Year’s Eve moment that saw her booed off stage during a performance in Luwero, an incident that has left fans debating her future in music.
A video circulating online captures the tense moment as revelers asked Tracy to vacate the stage while she performed her song “Ogenda Kukilaba.” The clip has since fueled criticism from sections of the industry, adding to comments previously made by veteran artist Bebe Cool, who, despite listing her among his best performers of 2026, admitted he barely knows her, even though she has “a few good songs.”
Clearly shaken but not defeated, Tracy Melon took to TikTok to share a raw behind-the-scenes moment just before stepping on stage. Captioning the video, “A few moments before fans sent me off stage, career enegezamu okunzita,” she subtly hinted at the emotional toll the experience has taken and her growing fear of facing similar rejection again.
Despite the setback, the young artist is far from alone. A wave of support has poured in from fellow musicians and celebrities, urging her to stay strong and trust the process.
Artists including Dax Vibez, A Pass, and Viboyo have publicly backed Tracy Melon, insisting she has the talent and resilience to rise above the noise. According to them, every artist faces turbulence and those who endure it eventually earn their flowers.
