Ugandan music rivalry has escalated as King Saha continues his relentless attacks against Eddy Kenzo, accusing him of orchestrating personal and professional sabotage through intermediaries. Speaking at a recent performance in Kampala, Saha alleged that Kenzo fears engaging in direct confrontation and instead uses other musicians to fight his battles.
During his performance, King Saha publicly accused Eddy Kenzo of being a man with a dark heart, alleging that he has repeatedly attempted to undermine his career using third parties, particularly fellow artist Lil Pazzo.
"Kenzo is always fighting me through different people. I think he fears to attack me personally and chooses to go through different people, but I am still here, and they can't bring me down," Saha stated.
He further dismissed Kenzo’s alleged allies, asserting that they lack the strength to pose a real challenge.
"The people he goes through are too weak to manage me. Someone like Lil Pazzo can't stand me even for a day," he emphasized.
Political Angle: Is the Federation a Political Tool?
Beyond personal grievances, King Saha has been vocal about Eddy Kenzo’s leadership in the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF). According to Saha, the federation is not genuinely advocating for artists’ rights but is instead a political strategy aligned with President Yoweri Museveni’s government to suppress opposition voices, particularly those close to Bobi Wine.
"The federation is Sevo’s political tool to weaken Bobi Wine’s influence in music and is not focused on achieving copyright law," Saha claimed.
He further argued that many individuals within the federation have attacked him solely due to his affiliation with Bobi Wine, a long-time political rival of Museveni.
As tensions continue to rise between the two artists, the Ugandan music industry finds itself divided, with fans and musicians taking sides. While Kenzo has largely remained silent on the accusations, Saha’s persistent criticism suggests that this feud is far from over. Whether Kenzo will break his silence or continue to ignore the attacks remains to be seen.
