We've seen better - Cindy gives brutally honest opinion on The Big 3

Cindy Sanyu believes Jose Chameleone, Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine are not as influential in the music industry as they used to be.

"There are artistes that have pulled bigger crowds than them at concerts..." said Cindy in an interview without mentioning names.

She added that the so-called big three are just clutching onto their old work.

"They are still standing on their legacies... there are bigger artistes or those who are at the same level... But they are still respected because of what they did for the industry; their legacies," she said.

"That's why they are the big three."

Because of the divisive of the current music industry thanks to politicising the sector, Cindy was also a bit careful with her words.

For instance, at some point during the engagement with the media, she said that no artiste has achieved what Bobi Wine has in the region. But then also added that he didn't compete fairly with other artistes.

“Bobi Wine has achieved heights more than any artiste in Uganda ever has, according to my angle, you know, but it's not like everyone has been given the same platform as him," she said.

"Because if you want to compete with people, you have to share the same platform... if you are given equal opportunities, then you can tell that you are better."

Musicians know that because of the following Wine commands politically, sidelining him can come with repercussions. For instance, ahead of his concert Chameleone was forced to compliment Wine, then immediately changed his tongue once the concert once was done.
