"Eddie Sendi should come and assist us because he's excellent at communication. Mr. Sendi, please step up and help us with public relations; we are your people... you've been in the industry for a long time, and you understand it well. Come and be our spokesperson... you're welcome," Kenzo stated. He was responding to the media after being asked about Sendi's recent remarks that musicians need to hire spokespersons.

Eddie Sendi's comments were sparked by reactions from several musicians, particularly Kenzo and David Lutalo, who responded to Azawi's critique of their lack of support for the anti-corruption movement, which has been widely supported by Ugandans who also enjoy their music.

Eddy Kenzo suggested that Azawi's comments stemmed from inexperience, while Lutalo dismissed those pressuring musicians to engage in activism as "fools."

Some entertainment critics believe that their responses were not appropriate for their standing in the music industry, highlighting the need for public relations and media managers to better prepare them for interviews.
