Kaiyz names top 4 crowd-pullers in music industry, rules out big names

Speaking to the Youtuber Flavia Namulindwa, Kawalya claimed that there "are not more than 10" singers that can command big crowds.

In a clip shared on TikTok, the former Next Media entertainment reporter and TV host said David Lutalo is currently the biggest crowd-puller in the music industry.

He then mentioned Rema Namakula, Jose Chameleone and Spice Diana.

When Namulindwa suggested Winnie Nwagi, Kawalya was hesitant to say yes.

Surprisingly events promoter Abitex said that Nwagi's 2022 concert was the only profitable that year.

"... I'll give you an example, Balam's festive season events 25th, 26th, 31st at Sheraton and Botanical Gardens on 1st, KT events organized Sheebah's concert at Serena and Winnie Nwagi's concert at Cricket Oval, Balunya Events with B2C at freedom city, David Lutalo at Africana, Fik Fameika at Africana, Enkuuka at the Palace, Bajjo at Museum on Christmas and 1st as well as Buloba Forest Park, Eddy Kenzo in Mukono, Mukaaya Events who organised on Christmas, 26th, 31st, 1st and Spice Diana's launch at Lugogo Cricket Oval to mention but a few and I as well organized an event at Freedom city and Aero Beach on the 31st and 1st but we did not make any profits aside from the tragic news that we lost some of our fans," Abitex said in a statement.

"Which is the only reason it was a famous show but not for the profits I made. It was only KT Events who made profits at Winnie Nwagi's concert but these profits he made at the main show in Kampala at the cricket oval were spent at the extra events because the turn up was low."

Kaiyz, birth name Isaac Kawalya, rejected Chosen Becky and Maurice Kirya.

He also noted that while "Azawi is very talented... too talented and very organised", she is limited to a niche audience.
