What was Bobi Wine known for before entering politics?

Before entering politics, Bobi Wine, born Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, was known as a Ugandan performer and activist who gained recognition for his music, which he described as “edutainment,” a mix of education and entertainment. His music career took off in the early 2000s, and he initially sang about love, women, and partying. By 2007, he transitioned to socially conscious lyrics, addressing topics like hygiene, sanitation, domestic violence, injustice, corruption, and the high cost of living. He also worked as an actor, starring in films such as Divizionz (2007), Yogera (2010), and Situka (2015).
