Big Eye’s comments came after discussing the current state of the Ugandan music industry, particularly the ongoing challenges within the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF). The UNMF, which is led by popular musician Eddy Kenzo, has been a source of division among artists.

This rift has led to tensions between various musicians, including Big Eye, who has been vocal about his disagreements with Kenzo and other members of the federation. However, despite their differences, Big Eye made it clear that he is not closing the door to anyone when it comes to his concert.


When a reporter asked Big Eye whether Kenzo would be attending his upcoming show, he responded with confidence, saying, "The doors are open to everyone, even to those with whom we do not agree. They can buy tickets or a table. No one will be allowed in for free." This statement was significant, as it highlighted Big Eye's commitment to inclusivity and the idea that his concert is meant for all music lovers, regardless of their affiliations or past conflicts.

Big Eye emphasized that he believes in fair access, and while he welcomes Kenzo and others to attend, no one will be given preferential treatment or allowed to attend without a ticket.
In recent months, Big Eye has been working tirelessly to ensure that his concert is a success.

His promotional efforts have included widespread media campaigns, engaging with various radio stations, television shows, and social media platforms to drum up excitement for the event. Big Eye’s team has been working hard behind the scenes to ensure that the logistics of the event are in place, and everything is set for a memorable night of live music. He has also been encouraging his fans and followers to purchase tickets in advance, as he aims for a sold-out show.


Despite his enthusiasm and determination, Big Eye has also expressed some concerns about the outcome of the concert. In a candid moment, he confessed that he fears the show may not perform as well as that of his fellow musician Gravity Omutujju. Gravity’s recent concert was a massive success, and Big Eye, who has faced several challenges in recent years, is worried that his concert might not attract the same level of attention. However, he remains hopeful and is putting in all the effort he can to ensure that his concert stands out as one of the most exciting music events of the year.


As the date of the concert draws nearer, Big Eye's confidence in his plans continues to grow. He is determined to make this event a success, not only for himself but also for his fans and supporters. His willingness to invite even those who may not agree with him, like Eddy Kenzo, speaks volumes about his desire to foster unity within the Ugandan music industry, despite the personal and professional differences that exist.
