The singer, who entered parliament in 2017 and has emerged as a leading critic of Museveni, has struck a chord with young Ugandans with his songs about social justice.
Authorities have repeatedly blocked him from performing publicly.
One of Wine's songs contains the lyric "freedom fighters become dictators", while others hint that Museveni has stayed in power for too long.
The 74-year-old leader has ruled Uganda since seizing power at the head of a rebel army in 1986. He intends to stand for re-election to a sixth term in office in 2021.
