Singer Edirisa Musuza commonly known as Eddie Kenzo has finally put a mark to his music career after beating music rival Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platinumz in Africa Music and Magazine awards (Afrimma) that were held in Nigeria.
The event was hosted by singer Akon. Kenzo won Album of the year ‘Biology’ and Best artiste in East Africa. He is the only artiste from Uganda on the list of winners.
Diamond Platinumz has been holding this title since November 7th, 2016 but lost it to Kenzo. The two singers were nominated in the same category this year.
In the category of Best Male, Kenzo was against Tanzania’s Alikiba and also battled it out with Diamond Platinumz in the category of Album of the year. It should be remembered that Kenzo and Cindy scooped awards from Afrima last year when they won best female and best collabo respectively and Diamond Platinumz won best male East Africa.
“Hello, my fans and Africa at large, from the bottom of my heart I wanna thank you so much for being part of this greatest success. I have had sleepless nights hustling tirelessly to make sure we go an extra mile every time. Winning best male East Africa and best album at the Afrima shows how great our God is and how He works in ways we cannot see. This is not for me alone but for mother Uganda, East Africa, and Africa generally. To all my fellow East African artists, let's work so hard to get more of these for our continent. Stick to your gun, keep your heads up, look up to God who is the giver of everything am sure you can do far better than me. Thank you Afrimma thank you my lovely fans for making a historical impact for East Africa may God bless you so much. Thank you Afrima awards
