Kenyan musician Willy Paul has announced plans to unveil new management to help better market and promote his music brand.
In a statement on Thursday, January 2, 2025, Willy Paul informed his fans that his new management would be made public in a couple of days without giving a precise date.
Willy Paul, whose talent peaked as a gospel artist, attributed the decision to advice from Kenyans, who he claimed implored him to find a better team to help run his artistic affairs.
This was after a fracas was witnessed in a concert in which Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz was among the headline acts on Saturday, December 7, 2024.
Videos shared online showed Pozze being manhandled while making his way to the stage to perform, sparking a widespread uproar.
Following the incident, several of Willy Paul’s supporters requested he get a manager to help him iron out such issues in the future.
While heeding their request, Willy Paul acknowledged the support he had received throughout his music career and vowed to reciprocate through better music in 2025.
“Fellow Kenyans, this is the year. I took your advice and in a few days, I will be unveiling my new team, my management.
“The love you people have shown me over the years is tremendous,” Pozze’s statement read in part.
“Leaving me with no choice but to listen to you and make things right. Now let’s make this the best year, fam,” he added.
Upcoming show
Willy Paul’s bold announcement comes after he promised to come up with his show following the misunderstanding at the Furaha City Festivals.
Accompanied by veteran comedian Eric Omondi, the ‘Kuu Kuu‘ hitmaker announced plans to stage his first-ever solo show on February 14, 2025.
In a show of support for the musician, Eric Omondi appealed to Kenyans to turn up and support one of their own during the Valentine’s Day solo performance.
“On February 14, next year, itakuwa ni Friday. Let us make history. Tutakuwa na Willy Paul, ama ukipenda, Pozze, live, and I want to humbly ask Kenyans to support Willy Paul. This guy has put in all the necessary work for the past 14 years, hit after hit, and he is the greatest performer.
“This is a special request from Eric Omondi. Tumepigania Kenyan music; please buy the tickets. It will be live this week. I want us to change the narrative, manze, hii show ikuwe na watu kama 50,000. We return back the glory of Kenyan music, Valentine Day!!! Willy Paul will be performing live, hosted by yours truly. Calling upon Kenyans, let us support our boy. He has really been putting in the work,” Eric Omondi urged Kenyans.
Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho is among the first influential figures who confirmed plans to attend the show following their meeting on Monday, December 16, 2024.
