Mixed Reactions as Peace Mbabazi Drops “Deal Ekabarema,” Fans Claim Similarity to Juliet Noremera’s Song

Uganda’s gospel music scene is buzzing with debate following the recent release of “Deal Ekabarema” by renowned singer Peace Mbabazi.

The song, which dropped about a week ago, has attracted attention online, with a section of listeners alleging that it bears strong similarities to an earlier composition by fellow gospel artist Juliet Noremera.

Fans have taken to social media to express mixed reactions. While some claim that “Deal Ekabarema” closely mirrors Noremera’s original in melody and message, others argue that the resemblance may simply stem from the shared style and themes common in gospel music, especially within local language compositions.

Despite the growing conversation, neither Peace Mbabazi nor Juliet Noremera has publicly addressed the claims. This has left room for speculation on whether the song is a remake, a cover, or an independent piece with coincidental similarities.

The situation has reignited discussions about originality and credit within Uganda’s gospel industry, with some critics calling for clearer acknowledgment of inspiration and source material among artists.

As the debate continues to unfold, fans are now watching closely to see whether either artist will break their silence and provide clarity on the matter.
