Sautisol through Bien has finally broken their silence on Azimio One Kenya Alliance paying Diamond millions of Kenya shillings at the expense of the local artists.
In a comment section of Erick Omondi, the unapologetic Sautisol maintained that they are not interested in such rallies like the one organized by the Azimio.
“But we don’t want to be in political forums such as these.” He commented on comedian Erick Omondi’s official wall.
A number of netizens felt that after the Kenyan band, Sauti Sol tried to sue Azimio for using their song, it only made sense for Azimio to bring a Tanzanian artist to perform at their rally.
Erick, while reacting to the Azimio Diamond deal, had written on his social media handle that he was not surprised that Azimio hired the Tanzanian, adding that local artists ought to up their games in the music industry.
The comedian went ahead to urge the Kenyan artists to wake up or else things will continue getting worse for them not just in the short term but also in the long term. This is what Eric wrote after Diamond performed at the azimio Kasarani function:
“It’s a very sad day for the Kenyan Music Industry. First and foremost let me CONGRATULATE my brother @diamondplatnumz for Continuing to Raise the East African Flag. Kudos bro!!! Secondly it says a lot that on this very DEFINITIVE and HISTORIC Moment in our Nation non of our Local Musicians was found Worthy!!! I dont blame anyone but the Musicians!!! Unless our Musicians rise to the occasion and take their place, this will only get worse!!! LISTEN TO ME!!!! I have said this and I will say it again. PUT IN THE WORK!!! We need SHOWBIZ!!!
