One of Warden Kartel’s most popular TikTok challenges is set to the popular sound of “Kikubye akawuzi, kiwunya enjaga,” which, according to A Pass, has a quite vulgar meaning.

The 11-year-old’s talent has caught many people’s attention this year, including A Pass, who applauds him for his attitude and “special talent.”

The self-styled “Teacher”, however, isn’t pleased with the guidance Warden Kartel is getting from those around him.

He believes that the youngster’s music could use a little more censoring and editing to keep it kiddish as he continues to grow.

On a TikTok Live broadcast, A Pass noted that young artists need to be protected and nurtured intentionally to avoid losing them to vulgarity and overly mature lyrics and music audiences.

There is a very talented young artist, Warden Kartel. I wonder why he continues to sing vulgar lyrics without anyone to guide him.

Do you think he should be singing that at such a young age? It shouldn’t be like that. His song is fine, but there are songs young children shouldn’t sing, and adults are applauding him. Even Justin Bieber, as a kid, had kiddish songs. They were kids; they didn’t sing like old people.

There are things I don’t expect from kids. Yet it’s not the case in Uganda. If I had a chance to meet him, I would make sure he doesn’t sing like that because he has special talent, but certain words, they don’t have to say. The song isn’t bad, but for the kid’s age, certain edits must be made.
