Kenyan Artists Gang Up On Eric Omondi As Beef Goes Haywire
Eric Omondi is becoming a household name for musicians; who can’t resist his statement on the performance of Kenyan music. The genesis of the comedian’s sentiments on poor performance was expedited by comparison of neighbors Tanzania’s musical performance.
Hot Beef
According to Eric, Kenyan artists should match their performance and stop ‘sleeping on their job’. Eric Omondi is now locking horns with big artists such as Khaligraph, King Kaka, Femi One, Nyashinski, Bahati, among others; who have made their opinion known.
Khaligraph stated that curtain raising isn’t such a big deal as long as the artists is paid.
”Mi sijui curtain raising inamaanishanga nini. Me as long as you pay me my money and you allocate time for me to perform, it doesn’t matter if you want to put me first or you want to put me last. What matters is, the money is intact, unaona? So mambo ya curtain raising mi huanga sijawai understand. Kama umelipwa doh yako, ata ukiekwa mbele yake, it doesn’t matter… That’s all that matters according to me.”
The heated debate has not only caused resentment among artists, but has also caused commencement for a push to solve it.
Some like KRG the Don have agreed with Eric that a course of action should suffice.
Marching To Parliament
In order to resolve the issue, Eric Omondi has pleaded artists to join him to march to Parliament tomorrow, November 16th.
”ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!! FIX IT!!! PLAY 75% LOCAL!!! ALL Musicians and MEDIA TUPATANE PARLIAMENT TUESDAY 10AM!!
THIS IS KENYA????????????????????????????????

It’s now a matter of hours before we observe how many artists will show up in support of Eric Omondi.
