    I've never received any money from the ministry - EeZzy
    • February 22, 2021 • 4 years ago

    In a recent interview with Uncut, Eezzy called out the Ministry for failing to fund his ‘Tumbiza Sound‘ remix as allegedly promised. Eezzy claimed that the government promised to pay him Ugx 40M to remix the song and produce a version encouraging Ugandans to adhere to the set guidelines.

    “Up to now, they have never called me back since the meeting. The last time they called, they wanted the lyrics changed, which I submitted, but they have never called me. I don’t know what is going on and I can’t go on with the song because there’s no communication.

    “I lost so much, my song would have had over 20 million views, but it is still stuck at 1 million views because people are scared of playing it. They don’t know that I was earning from my YouTube channel,” he told NBS Uncut.

    The 'Tumbiza sound' got countrywide recognition as 2020 neared its end. And it topped all music chats. Its message however got mixed reactions from the ordinary Ugandans and the ministry of health.

    The ministry claimed the song had misleading lyrics in line with fighting covid-19 and ordered EeZzy to redo the song. The two parties met and agreed that the singer would do a remix of the song all expenses paid by the Ministry of Health.

    According to Emmanuel Ainebyoona from the MoH, they never promised Eezzy money for the whole remix. He claims they only agreed to handle the video after he had finished making the audio.

    “That wasn’t part of our discussion because he was supposed to work within his means. He shared the script with us and we agreed but there was nothing like finances involved,” Emmanuel said in a phone interview.
