Big Eye: Kenzo ‘is not my president, he’s not qualified to lead musicians’

Speaking to Spark T.V., Eye said Eddy Kenzo, who is the Federation's president, doesn't qualify to hold that position.

Eye who has long-standing beef with Kenzo, who is his former mentor, said that the latter is selfish.

"He is not my president," began Big Eye, real name Ibrahim Mayanya.

"He doesn't qualify to lead musicians because there are many qualifications he doesn't have."

Asked to name Kenzo's weakness, he said: "He doesn't wish well for the industry. He is always frustrating others... He hasn't contributed much to the industry."

Eye, who was speaking from the U.K., said he is establishing connections that he'll share with fellow musicians once he returns.

"For the little time I've spent in the Uk I will share the connections I will have made with fellow musicians," he said.

This is not the first time Big Eye has attacked Kenzo for being selfish though a number of musicians have said good things about how he has supported them.

Musician John Blaq has also said the Federation is being led by people without qualifications and it lacks the professional touch.

King Saha also showed disappointment in the leadership of the association after losing to Bebe Cool for the head of the finance committee during the elections.
