Comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi has angered a section of the celebrity community following his latest video where he demeaned them regarding their music.

Taking to social media, Omondi accused Kenyan singers of shooting shoddy videos which have allegedly put the Kenyan music industry to shame. 

In what appears to be a promotion for a project he is working on with Amber Ray, Omondi boasted about spending KSh3.8 million on the project, saying all Kenyan singers should watch how music videos are shot and edited.

“I have fought for artists, I have been tear gassed in parliament but you keep embarrassing us. Tanzanians and Nigerians are doing better than you all. Khaligraph Jones is shooting videos in a car park,” Omondi ranted.

His antics appear to have irritated celebrities, with Khaligraph Jones, Nadia Mukami, and others expressing their displeasure.

Jones said Eric should have a stand on what he wants to fight for, instead of wearing many hats and blasting fellow artists.

“You need to pick 1 fight bro ndio tukuchukue serious. Yesterday you were spearheading a very important agenda which made me go to the studio and record a song addressing the same matter, for once I was on the same page with you, leo sasa umeingia tena clout chasing? Alafu kesho tena uanze ku-address president kama comedian rika yako? We ndio utafanya content creators wakuwe taxed, grow up,” Khaligraph hit back.

Nadia joined in, echoing the rapper’s sentiments.

“Éric you had a clear vision and your statements made sense!! But you keep changing your tune every single day!!! We cannot take you seriously! Jana I was in a discussion nakutetea that finally Eric has chosen a direction! Leo I come here and see this nonsense!! As OG said unafanya tusichukuliwe serious as an industry! Hizi clout chase na our industry haibambi ata kidogo!!! Pick a side! NKT”

Other celebrities who chipped in were Joe Muchiri and Boss MOG. They asked their supporters to ignore Omondi since he is clout chasing. 

The comedian has lately changed tact, taking several roads in a bid to continue churning out content. His latest was the strong criticism of the government over its controversial Finance Bill 2023, which seeks to, among others, impose taxes on content creator
