"I think if really my good friend Julius Kyazze came out and put Azawi at per with Mowzey radio, I think that's an overkill," said Sendi during a panel show with Jenkins Mukasa and Batt Badru who informed him about the comments Kyazze had made about the two singers.

Kyazze, a business director at Swangz Avenue, the record label he co-founded, recently said that using Artificial Intelligence to do a remix of Azawi's hit song Masavu using Mowzey Radio's voice, is an indirect inference that the two singers are equally talented.
Sendi, however, advised the industry should prepare itself on how to adopt and navigate Artificial Intelligence.
Meanwhile, Azawi's song Masavu, which was produced by Bangar Boi, an in-house produced at Swangz Avenue, sparked controversy after the Artificial Intelligence remix was made. Weasel Manizo, who sang with Radio, added drama to the debate when he sent out cryptic posts on Facebook implying that he had an idea about the composition of the song.
Asked to comment on Weasel's posts, Kyazze simply described it as marketing. He also revealed that before his death, Radio had done a gospel song with them and it will be released in time.
Mowzey Radio left an expansive legacy in the Ugandan music industry as a singer and writer. He wrote hit songs for several artistes, including Juliana Kanyomozi, Irene Ntale, Lillian Mbabazi, Spice Diana, Diana Nalubega, and Winnie Nwagi. His music career was launched by Chagga who introduced him to Jose Chameleone who produced his first song Jennifer.
