Kampala, Uganda | August 17, 2025 — Just two days after its release, gospel powerhouse Pastor Wilson Bugembe’s latest single, “Deputy Jesus,” has ignited Uganda’s music scene, uniting a constellation of the nation’s top artists in a transformative worship anthem. Cementing his reputation as a bridge-builder between sacred and mainstream sounds, Bugembe’s newest offering lands as a spiritual and cultural mileston.
The Revelation: A Star-Studded Divine Declaration
Released on August 15, 2025 , “Deputy Jesus” emerges as a bold declaration of faith, weaving Bugembe’s signature Luganda-English lyricism with Afro-gospel rhythms. While the full lineup of featured artists remains under wraps, insiders confirm collaborations with multiple A-list Ugandan stars, echoing past successful partnerships with icons like Navio, Lydia Jazmine, Pallaso, and Damasco Ssesanga . This strategic fusion aims to amplify the song’s reach across both gospel and secular audiences, reinforcing Bugembe’s mission of inclusive evangelism through music.
Fans praise the track’s lyrical depth—a call to recognize Christ as humanity’s ultimate “deputy”—and its seamless blend of traditional gospel with contemporary Afrobeat and reggae elements. As one devotee commented: “Bugembe turns worship into a national conversation.”
The Bigger Picture: Unity Through Music
In a fragmented industry, Bugembe continues eroding barriers. His collaboration-heavy approach—evident in 2025 hits like “Omusamaliya (Remix)” with Jose Chameleone —proves gospel music can be both spiritually potent and culturally unifying. As “Deputy Jesus” resonates from Kampala’s churches to TikTok feeds, it reaffirms Bugembe’s role as Uganda’s musical pastor, turning every beat into a sermon.
