Tensions flared during a recent Kadongokamu artists\u2019 meeting after Eddy Kenzo<\/span><\/span>\u2019s past remarks about old-school musicians not being wealthy or doing enough to Uplift their lives, some were seen shedding tears and cursing him.<\/p>\n

Veteran singer Lord Fred Ssebata<\/span><\/span> failed to hold back tears as he defended his mentor Dan Mugula<\/span><\/span>, saying he could not sit through what he described as \u201cdisrespect\u201d toward the generation that laid the foundation of Ugandan music.<\/p>\n

Other legends, including Willy Mukabya<\/span><\/span> and Ssebaale<\/span><\/span>, were also seen emotional, questioning how today\u2019s artists can downplay the sacrifices made in an era without digital promotion, streaming platforms, or major sponsorship deals.<\/p>\n

The controversy stems from comments by Kenzo, who reportedly suggested that icons like Paul Kafeero<\/span><\/span> and Dan Mugula achieved limited visible wealth compared to modern stars, remarks that many felt reduced their legacy to material success.<\/p>\n

However, some observers argue that Kenzo\u2019s words may have been taken out of context, insisting he was highlighting the evolution of the music industry rather than attacking pioneers.<\/p>\n
