Bahati has come out to support Eric Omondi in his fight for Kenyan music as he complained about foreign music dominating the country’s airwaves.
The singer took to social media and shared statics which showed how Diamond in particular had dominated Kenyan music scene, especially on YouTube.
“Nimeona Ni post usiku Eric Omondi asione hii sahii anashugulikia Mtoto 🤰 🙈 But I thought I should share My Thoughts & Opinion and it’s out of nothing but Love ❤️ Wasanii Wenzangu Wa Kenya 🇰🇪 We might try to ignore this but Tumeacha Jirani analala Hadi Na Bibi Zetu… From YouTube, Boomplay, itunes to Our Radio & TVs… Number #1 to #10 Trending ni Tanzania I almost thought I was in Darsalaam 🙆♂️ It’s not that I have Anything against TZ or Nigeria infact Chibu and King Kiba are My undeniable Brothers but we need to pick a Lesson from thissss … This is the Time for Kenyan Musicians to Stop thinking you Can make it alone and Simply Come Together… NO SOLO KENYAN ARTIST CAN TAKE OUR SOUND GLOBAL ON THEIR OWN THAT’S A FACT we need to Work Together as a team or else we will keep Curtain Raising for our Neighbours… Look at What they’re Doing, They’re Coming Together and through their Unity they’re Taking Over Home & Away!
