David Lutalo Hits Back at Critics Over Viral Booking Number Controversy On Tiktok
David Lutalo has hit back at critics who labeled him "desperate" after he shared a booking contact during a recent TikTok Live session. The seasoned artist found himself at the center of a social media debate on Saturday when he read out a business number to viewers inquiring about his performance rates.
While some netizens argued that a star of Lutalo’s caliber should not be publicly sharing contact details, the singer has firmly dismissed these claims as a misunderstanding of how the industry works. Speaking in a candid interview with Allan Cruz on Cruz Xclusive, Lutalo pointed out that artists have been sharing booking information on radio and TV long before the era of social media.
The "Kabisi Ka Agala" singer explained that his primary motivation for being vocal about his contact details is to protect his brand and his fans from rampant fraud. He revealed that impersonators and former associates have previously used his name to scam unsuspecting promoters by providing fake contact numbers. By sharing the verified line, he ensures that legitimate clients reach his actual management team.
Lutalo further clarified that the number in question is not his private, personal line, but a dedicated business contact managed by his team. He noted that he was simply responding to a direct request from a fan on the livestream who wanted to know how to book him for an event. Defending his right to manage his business as he sees fit, Lutalo emphasized that providing clear access to his management is a professional necessity, not a sign of a lack of gigs.
