One of Kenya’s most renowned and contentious comedians, Eric Omondi, has engaged in a public exchange with Kamene Goro. The ongoing verbal sparring between the two is rooted in Eric’s social media critiques of the Kenyan music industry and its artists.
The dispute was initiated by Kamene Goro, who bluntly advised Eric Omondi to cease speaking out. According to her, Eric is not contributing anything constructive to the enhancement of the Kenyan music scene. She strongly criticized him, urging him to employ his intellect to generate ideas that support musicians instead of resorting to trolling.
In response, Eric Omondi did not take Kamene Goro’s comments lightly and decided to counterattack. During an interview with Vincent Mboya, Eric asserted that Kamene Goro is a marijuana user, implying that it has adversely affected her cognitive abilities. He further claimed that Kamene is unaware of his efforts towards advancing the “Play 70% Kenyan Songs” bill in parliament, emphasizing that she should refrain from making uninformed statements and cease her marijuana use.
Furthermore, Eric Omondi accused Kamene Goro of exploiting their feud for publicity, asserting that she deliberately mentions his name to garner attention and provoke viral reactions. The comedian suggested that Kamene should focus on credible research before making baseless allegations, implying that her current statements lack substance.
The ongoing clash between Eric Omondi and Kamene Goro reflects the tensions surrounding the role of individuals, especially those in the public eye, in contributing positively to the development of the Kenyan music industry.
