Kenyan musician Willy Paul has taken to social media to express his frustration with the lack of support from the local media. In a lengthy post, Paul highlighted his significant contributions to the music industry, both locally and internationally. He pointed to his achievements, such as being the first artist from Africa to be featured on The Shade Room and the first East African artist to trend at #2 on Apple TV America. He also mentioned the success of his song “#ID0,” which became a massive hit at weddings across the globe.

Despite these achievements, Paul said that he has received very little recognition from the local media. He accused them of supporting mediocrity and foreign musicians instead of promoting and celebrating homegrown talent. He believes that this lack of support has hindered the growth and progress of Kenyan music.

“Blogs here have contributed 100% to destroying our industry by supporting mediocrity and foreign musicians over their own,” Paul wrote. “Well like I said, I did it once and I can do it again beginning now!!”

Paul called on his loyal fans to continue supporting him and his music. He also urged the local media to change their approach and give more attention to Kenyan artists.

“I am not here to fight with anyone,” Paul said. “I am just here to highlight the reality of the challenges faced by Kenyan musicians and the need for recognition and support from our own country.”

Paul’s post has sparked a debate on social media, with some people supporting his views and others disagreeing. However, there is no doubt that Paul is a talented musician who has achieved a great deal of success. It is unfortunate that he has not received the same level of support from the local media. Hopefully, his post will help to raise awareness of this issue and lead to a change in the way that Kenyan music is covered.

  • Paul’s criticism of the local media is not new. Other Kenyan musicians have also spoken out about the lack of support they receive from the media.
  • The issue of support for Kenyan music is a complex one. There are many factors that contribute to the success or failure of a musician, including the quality of their music, their marketing skills, and the support they receive from the media.
  • Despite the challenges, there are many talented Kenyan musicians who are making a name for themselves internationally. These musicians are proof that Kenyan music has the potential to succeed on a global scale.
