Chameleone gives his take on Eric Omondi’s attack of the music industry.
Jose Chameleone has come out in support of Eric Omondi’s recent statement concerning the way Kenyan musicians are treated poorly in comparison to their West African counterparts.
This after Eric had praised Chameleone for refusing to take the stage at a concert in Uganda after being disrespected.
“In 2017 Jose Chameleon refused to perform in a Heavily Advertised Concert in Kampala after a Billboard in Kampala City had a HUGE Wizkid Image and a Tiny Image of Chameleon beside Wizkid. It’s called Subliminal Messaging!!!”
Eric’s post garnered a lot of divisive comments from Kenyans but the object of his praise, Chameleon agreed with Eric’s point of view.
His response is below, something that Eric made a point of putting up on his Instagram page in his subsequent post;
“Such attitude is very demeaning and disrespectful towards the players who keep the industry flourishing to be placed as underdogs before their own. I can guarantee to you such a manner happens only in this region where the host artists are only used as bait to submit their fans. If you are drawn as small on an advertisement that to me means you are better off staying home or in-studio to do your work than be misused. Well, I hope your message reaches out to the concerned. It’s such a pity that greedy fellas are rooted into our darling industry without passion. Bless you, bro.”
What do you think? Is Eric Omondi on the right side of history?
