Several Kenyan musicians protested after Diamond Platnumz performed at Azimio la Umoja One Kenya alliance rally where he was paid Ksh12 million.
However, Sauti Sol’s Bien thinks it’s a good thing for foreign musicians to perform in Kenya.
Speaking during a recent interview with a local publisher, Bien explained that Kenyan musicians also perform in other countries and as such, they should be jealous of foreign musicians performing in Kenya.
“Personally, I would never get jealous to see foreign artistes performing in Kenya. I was in Rwanda recently and I spent the better part of the day with their president. We walked for five Kilometers and we had a very good conversation.
“I have gone to Tanzania where we were received with so much love by the late Magufuli. So, I have no problem when Diamond comes to Kenya and is received by a politician. It does nothing for me and my bag. My bag is still there and we should stop that habit,” Bien said.
“Other Africans should come to Kenya. Let us not lock out foreign artistes in our country. Let’s make Kenya home for all people so that when Kenyan artistes go to other countries, they make us feel at home. People come and make money, we also go and make money in their countries,” he added.
