"What I appreciate most about Eddy Kenzo... The thing is, Eddy Kenzo respects his job. What has made Eddy Kenzo, Eddy Kenzo is the respect he has for his job... As you've seen with me sometimes, things become volatile, we are people. But Eddy Kenzo respects his job. I call upon fellow musicians to do self-introspection and develop some discipline," said Chameleone while speaking to reporters after performing at the Eddy Kenzo Festival held this past Saturday at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala.

Asked if the Sitya Loss singer is in now in the big four league that includes Bobi Wine, Bebe Cool, and Chameleone himself, he said: "Why not? Why not? Uganda has shown him support. You don't even need to ask me that. [The number of revellers here is enough evidence.]"
Chamelone using metaphors described what he means whenever he calls himself big: "Are you big enough to fill the seat you are in? You could be big but you are in a four by four bed, there are those in five by five and six by six... there are those who sleep in King Size. Eddy Kenzo is not small, he is a big boy."
Kenzo, real name Edrisah Musuuza, recently revealed that he began singing in 2007 and his first song was Tuteese.
It's this song that laid the foundation for him to meet industry giants like Bobi Wine, born Robert Kyagulanyi, when he (Kenzo) was performing at Wallet Pub, located in Kabuusu, Rubaga Division, Kampala.
The Tweyagale singer would go on to record a song with Kyangulanyi’s brother Mikie Wine and also get some support from Kyagulanyi’s record label Firebase Crew.
