Dax Vibez clarifies remarks on Joshua Baraka, Eddy Kenzo’s international success

Wait 5 sec.

Dax Vibez has denied making comments about Joshua Baraka and Eddy Kenzo not equipping other Ugandan stars with connections internationally.In his defence, Dax Vibez claims the question he responded to during an interview was about who, between Joshua Baraka and Eddy Kenzo, has achieved more internationally.The singer noted that neither has achieved more than the other, as they both have yet to benchmark for other Ugandan artists and expose them to the international stage as Diamond Platnumz did for Tanzanians or P.Square for fellow Nigerians.He claims that his response was, however, misquoted and twisted to mean that Kenzo and Baraka are selfish and continue to gatekeep international connections and opportunities from fellow Ugandan stars.Beyoncé must be jealous – Joshua Baraka praises Etania’s “perfect” set at successful concertIn clearing the air further, Dax Vibez noted that his intention is not to put the two artists on the spot but rather to urge other artists who may be presented with similar opportunities to keep it in mind.I wasn’t applying any pressure on the said artists because, at times, it requires some level of luck and good timing to make it to such big international platforms. It’s possible that even I would fail (to benchmark for other Ugandan stars) if given an opportunity on such international platforms.Regardless, we need someone with that ability and blessing to make sure that once they break through, the whole industry is exported because we are really talented musically, and we have good sound.It’s not by mistake that Joshua Baraka and Kenzo have gained international recognition because they have all the necessary ingredients, which they attained locally. I was just misquoted. I believe all of them are good.The post Dax Vibez clarifies remarks on Joshua Baraka, Eddy Kenzo’s international success appeared first on MBU.
