Former dancer and entertainer Ronnie Stamina has opened up about his strained relationship with musician and Uganda National Musicians Federation president Eddy Kenzo, accusing him of ignoring his attempts to seek support.
Speaking in a recent interview, Ronnie Stamina, who appeared as a dancer in Kenzo’s breakthrough hit Stamina, revealed that he once reached out to the singer hoping for assistance during a difficult period. According to Ronnie, he wanted to join Kenzo’s campaign activities and requested financial support to help provide for his family.
“I called him and he wasn’t picking up and I thought he’s in a loud place, so I sent him a message saying, ‘Hello brother, can you at least call me so that I can move with you every day in campaigns and at least give me Shs200,000 daily so that I can take care of my family,’” Ronnie recounted. He added that he no longer has evidence of the conversation because the iPhone he was using at the time was later stolen.
What has continued to trouble Ronnie, however, is the response he claims he received after sending the message. He said the reply left him shocked and disappointed, though he stopped short of confirming that it came directly from Kenzo himself.
“The person who responded, I won’t say it’s Kenzo because Kenzo gives his phones to other people to hold for him, responded saying, ‘I am not your brother,’” Ronnie alleged.
He said the response remains one of the most surprising moments he has experienced and wishes things had turned out differently between him and the award-winning singer.
