Dr. Ronnie Mich Egwang has opened up about one of the most difficult moments of his career, revealing that he suffered a financial loss of approximately UGX 1.5 billion after refusing to pay an alleged rainmaker during a concert he organized in 2012.

Speaking about the incident, Mich Egwang reflected on the ill-fated DeMarco concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval, which was heavily disrupted by rain and ended up being a commercial failure.

According to him, before the concert, an individual approached him through events host MC Kats and another DJ, asking him to pay UGX 2,000 to a rainmaker to prevent rainfall during the event.

However, he declined, saying it conflicted with his Christian beliefs.

You know that story about witchcraft is something I experienced, and you were there too. We did a show together—the 2012 DeMarco concert at Cricket Oval. Somebody came through you (MC Kats) and another DJ asking me to pay UGX 2,000, but I refused. It started raining at around 2 p.m. and didn’t stop until 8 p.m.

Mich Egwang explained that he deliberately rejected the request because he believes accepting such practices would have compromised his faith.

The moment you take money out of your pocket and give it to a rainmaker, you’ve bonded your entire family. From a spiritual perspective, I live by Christian values. I believe that if God wanted me to have a sold-out crowd that day, it would have happened whether it rained or not.

Egwang went on to state that the failed event left him with debts amounting to UGX 1.5 billion, which took him five years to clear.

I lost UGX 1.5 billion and spent five years paying it back. I think that’s why that wasn’t my space—it wasn’t my portion. It was a very difficult period, but one thing I’ll always be proud to tell my children is that I never compromised my Christian values.

MC Kats, who was part of the discussion, also echoed his stance, saying he has never resorted to witchcraft or sacrifices to succeed in the entertainment industry.

“I have never sold my soul in the music sector. I can’t. My Christianity is still there. Of course, I’m not perfect—I’m a sinner. But when it comes to witchcraft and sacrifice, I’d rather die broke than reach that level.”
