Eric Omondi, a prominent and somewhat controversial comedian in Kenya, recently found himself embroiled in a heated exchange with Kamene Goro, sparking a verbal duel that captured public attention. The crux of their conflict stemmed from Eric’s penchant for social media commentary, often critical of Kenyan artists and the music industry.
The initial spark was ignited by Kamene Goro, who publicly admonished Eric Omondi, urging him to refrain from his commentary and implying that his contributions to the Kenyan music scene were lacking. She minced no words, advising him to channel his energies towards constructive endeavors that would support musicians rather than engaging in online trolling.
Unwilling to let Kamene’s remarks slide, Eric Omondi swiftly retaliated. During an interview with Vincent Mboya, he launched a counterattack, accusing Kamene of being a habitual marijuana user whose cognitive faculties had been compromised by the substance. Eric further asserted that Kamene was oblivious to his efforts in advocating for the passage of legislation promoting the prominence of Kenyan music, exemplified by his advocacy for the “play 70% Kenyan songs” bill in parliament. He urged Kamene to abstain from cannabis use and conduct thorough research before making unfounded allegations.
Moreover, Eric Omondi alleged that Kamene was leveraging his name for personal gain, capitalizing on his widespread popularity to boost her own visibility. He insinuated that she deliberately provoked him knowing that any mention of his name would generate significant attention and traction across various media platforms.
