The latest debt in town between Kenyan artists and media presenters it seems to be far from over.
Comedian who doubles up as a presenter Jalang’o has been calling out local artistes among them Khaligraph Jones, Naiboi and now he’s on Sauti Sol’s case. The multitalented presenter says Sauti Sol especially Savara and Bien are a big let down to the industry.
“So @sautisol have band members individually have finally decided to talk about #PlayKenyaBuyKenya But how I wish it was the Voice of the band! I can tell you @bienaimesol and @savarafricaYou are a big let down in this industry! Because you are liars and you don’t want to tell other artists the truth! You’ve refused to share the secret to your success, you want to be at the top alone! And have totally refused to mentor and play the big role the has been bestowed to you! You can’t be legends, upcoming and hottest at the same time! ” he wrote.
He went ahead to challenge other musicians to follow Sauti Sol’s example.
” I can tell you no artist work hard like sautisol! A month before they release any song we presenters are emailed, press release are sent, phone calls are made and a full tour is done! You see them do five interviews a day..they arrive on time give you the best interviews ever! After realising how big Naija and BONGO is they did not come here to complain they went for collabo and as we speak they have more collabos with them than they have with Kenya artists! This hard work is what we want our artists to have! ”
The funny man also urged the boy band to mentor up coming artists to navigate in the flooded music industry.
“So sautisol if you really belive in Kenya artists just take 2 and push them and be the big brother’s that you are! See what Diamond is doing with Mboso and lava lava? See what Harmonize and Rayvanny have become? @realshinski This is also to you! Lakini wewe ni ule msee…anza hata na kufollow fans wako hao wenye mnataka support Yao!”
