I was shocked! – Daddy Owen on Eric Omondi attending his SolFest set
By William Muthama, December 23, 2025Gospel musician Daddy Owen opened up about a special moment during his recent SolFest performance that left him both surprised and inspired.
In a post shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, the singer revealed that comedian Eric Omondi had attended the event specifically to watch his set, a gesture that caught him completely off guard.
Daddy Owen recounted the moment he received a call from Omondi on the night of his performance. “I thought he was joking,” he admitted.
Daddy Owen said he had been told that Omondi had been a fan of his music since the early days, but he did not expect the comedian to actually show up.
When Daddy Owen took to the stage, he was delighted to find Omondi at the front, singing along to every song.
“He was right there at the front, singing my songs word for word! I was truly inspired,” Daddy Owen shared, expressing the unexpected motivation that came from seeing someone he admired supporting him in person.
The musician also took the opportunity to thank Omondi for the encouragement and for uplifting artists through his work.
“Thank you, bro, for the incredible work you do to uplift others. I know it’s not easy; I speak from experience as someone who runs a foundation. May God bless you abundantly,” he wrote.
The performance itself was a memorable one, taking place at Sauti Sol’s organised event on Thursday, December 18, 2025.
Daddy Owen, known for his hits in both gospel, delivered a dynamic set that thrilled fans and showcased the versatility of his music.
Songs from his popular tracks, including the chart-topping “Vanity” and “System Ya Kapungala,” were performed, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere for attendees.
