• King Saha slammed fellow musician Eddy Kenzo during a TV interview, questioning the true value of his 2015 BET Award.
• Saha claimed he is a much bigger artist in Uganda than Kenzo, citing his own massive local following as proof.
• The Big Talent boss boasted that over 120,000 fans attended his recent Kololo concert to demonstrate his dominance.

Musician King Saha has taken a swipe at fellow singer Eddy Kenzo, questioning the significance of the BET Award the Big Talent boss won in 2015 while boldly claiming that he is a bigger artiste in Uganda.

Saha made the remarks during an interview with BBS Telefayina presenter Jackstar, where he was asked about Kenzo and his international achievement, which remains one of the biggest milestones in Uganda’s music industry.

However, Saha appeared unimpressed by the award, questioning what it had done for Kenzo and suggesting that it did not make him bigger than other musicians locally.

He further challenged Kenzo and anyone who considers themselves bigger than him to produce figures showing the number of people they have attracted to their concerts.

“What is that BET award? What value has it brought him? I am bigger than him here in Uganda,” Saha reportedly said.

The singer went on to boast about the turnout at his recent concert in Kololo, claiming that more than 120,000 people attended the show. According to him, the numbers speak for themselves and prove his position among Uganda’s biggest musicians.

Saha also suggested that organising another concert at the moment would attract even more impressive numbers, insisting that his popularity continues to grow.

Using a personal analogy, he described himself as a man whose success gives his wife confidence and pride, even when they encounter someone driving a Range Rover.

“When I am driving with my wife and someone in a Range Rover passes us, she doesn’t even flinch. She is secure and proud of the man she is with,” he added.

His comments have added another layer to the ongoing conversations about musical success, popularity and recognition in Uganda, particularly the difference between local concert attendance and international accolades.
