KAMPALA — Ugandan singer and Uganda National Musicians Federation president Eddy Kenzo has distanced himself from the ongoing feud between fellow musicians King Saha and Pallaso, saying the two artists are mature enough to resolve their differences without his intervention.
Kenzo’s remarks come amid increasing public concern over the escalating conflict between the two musicians, whose camps have recently been linked to violent confrontations and heated exchanges on social media.
Speaking in response to calls from fans and entertainment figures urging him to mediate the dispute, Kenzo reportedly maintained that he would stay out of the matter and allow both artists to handle their issues independently.
According to Kenzo, King Saha and Pallaso are experienced individuals capable of finding solutions to their misunderstandings without external involvement.
The fallout between the two musicians has dominated Uganda’s entertainment scene in recent weeks following reports of clashes involving members of their respective camps at several nightlife spots in Kampala.
Some reports alleged that a number of people sustained injuries during the confrontations, with claims that sharp objects were used amid the chaos, although details surrounding the incidents remain unclear.
The feud has since sparked widespread debate within the music industry and on social media, with fans taking sides while others continue to call for reconciliation before tensions escalate further.
Uganda Musicians Association president Cindy Sanyu recently weighed in on the matter, cautioning the public against rushing to conclusions or taking sides. She suggested that part of the conflict could be tied to publicity and business competition within the entertainment industry.
Media personality and social commentator MC Kats also publicly appealed to Kenzo to use his influence as federation president to help restore peace between the two artists.
However, Kenzo appears determined to avoid direct involvement, signaling that responsibility now lies with King Saha and Pallaso to de-escalate tensions and seek common ground on their own.
The dispute continues to generate intense discussion online, with many Ugandans expressing concern about rising violence and hostility within the country’s entertainment industry.
