The singer, whose real name is Crescent Baguma, was arrested in Dubai on Sunday and transferred to Abu Dhabi for further investigations. Fans are now campaigning for his release, as his detention continues.

According to a team member close to the singer, Beenie Gunter was involved in a scuffle with event promoters in Abu Dhabi on Monday, January 8th. The altercation reportedly began after two promoters had a disagreement following the singer’s performance at V-Club in Dubai. The situation turned physical, and Beenie Gunter, who was trying to play peacemaker, ended up getting beaten. The scuffle caught the attention of authorities, and the property where the fight took place was left vandalized.

The singer was traveling back to Uganda with his baby mama, Nickie Berry, when he was arrested at a Dubai airport. He was transferred to Abu Dhabi, where he is currently being detained as investigations into the matter continue. The involved parties are also expected to pay for the damages caused during the altercation.

Fans are using hashtags such as #FreeBeenieGunter and #JusticeForBeenieGunter to express their support for the singer and demand his release.
