Wed Sep 25 08:38:47 UTC 2024: ## Kenyan Promoter Calls Out Fellow Kenyans for Not Supporting Willy Paul
A Kenyan American promoter has sparked debate online after criticizing Kenyans for not supporting their own artists, specifically Willy Paul. The promoter argues that Kenyans seem to favor Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz over Willy Paul, despite Willy Paul’s evident talent and musical prowess.
“There’s something seriously wrong with Kenyans,” the promoter stated, highlighting Willy Paul’s strong vocals, catchy songs, and impressive stage presence. “He sings in English, he has a great voice, and his music is so good, yet people think Diamond is much better.”
The promoter’s comments have resonated with fans, with many agreeing that Kenyans should support their local music scene. The promoter also drew comparisons between Willy Paul and American singer Chris Brown, suggesting that with proper support, Willy Paul could achieve similar levels of international success.
Willy Paul himself responded to the promoter’s statement, expressing gratitude for the motivation and vowing to work even harder. He wrote, “From America, this moved me and motivated me to work even harder. Ipo siku.”
This debate highlights a growing concern among Kenyan artists about the lack of support for local music. While many Kenyans enjoy Nigerian and Azonto music, the promoter argues that this is a disservice to talented Kenyan artists like Willy Paul.
The promoter’s comments have generated much discussion, with many fans expressing their support for Willy Paul and calling on fellow Kenyans to recognize and appreciate their local talent.
