Yesterday, Eric Omondi threw down the gauntlet to the musicians during his interview with fellow comedian, Jalang'o. 

Eric who has been trending this past week for all the wrong reasons called out musicians for not being creative anymore.

He went on to post the interview on his Instagram page writing;

"HE KENYAN ENTERTAINMENT SCENE IS DEAD!!! We have lost our Glory. We have become a Cemetry!!! It is utter DISGRACE that our musicians have become mere Curtain raisers for international acts. We have become clowns in our own land. Every weekend there is a group of 3 or 4 foreign artists in this City Nairobi. GENGETONE is DEAD and BURIED. Today I see @joemuchiri1 heading down to Nanyuki for the monthly AMAPIANO TOUR. Guys we have a F#CKING MONTHLY SOUTH AFRICAN THEMED MUSIC FESTIVAL in our Country!!! We have lost OUR GLORY!!! In Less than two weeks we had Etana, Omahley and Konshens is on his way. Where are the Kenyan CONCERTS???? We have become REDUNDANT, PREDICTABLE and BORING. We NEED to PUT in the WORK, to reclaim our GLORY we have to INVEST in our ART!!! GOD knows I am PERSONALLY TRYING my level Best. The CURFEW has been LIFTED, it's time to DUST ourselves and get to WORK. We can do it, we have all it takes to RECLAIM this lost Glory. Let's have South Africans hosting Monthly GENGETONE festivals in Johannesburg, let's get our Muscians Storming other COUNTRIES and CITIES every weekend. It's time!!! ATTACK!!!!!!!!!"

His rant wasn't taken lightly by rapper Jua Cali who responded with his own video. The "Kiasi" musician came at him with a video that he posted a few hours ago.

He said; I don't normally have issues with people but I felt that I must speak. There needs to be some respect. There are ups and downs, when the internet came we are competing with the whole world.

We can't start bashing each other especially when I hear someone from another industry bashing musicians. 

If you can't stand on stage for one hour and make people you can't laugh at, then you aren't a comedian. We are in a global village. People from abroad can come and perform in Kenya. That doesn't mean the musicians in Kenya are giving out a bad product.

We can also bash the comedy industry which has a lot of drama and not comedy at the moment. We stay our lane and you( comedians) should too.
