Controversies
Eddy Sendi was returning from Club Guvnor, where he had spent the night out with friends when he was engaged in a head-on collision with another car.
The accident occurred about 5 a.m. on a Saturday morning in February 2022, just a few metres from his home. Fortunately, Ssendi was not seriously injured.
Eddy Sendi, a well-known music critic, has a lot to say about Ugandan musicians. As a result of his reputation for causing scandals, he has had a number of run-ins with so many artists.
In March 2022, he referred to local artists as “barking dogs,” saying that explained why event organisers were continuously booking musicians from various locations to perform.
He added that local artists have failed to match the musical prowess of Nigerians and other African countries in order to get booked to perform in those other countries.
Allan Hendrick Ssali, a.k.a. Paper Daddy, reacted angrily to Edward Sendi, claiming that he is malnourished and needs residential rehabilitation before he can speak positively about artists.
This came after Eddy chastised him, stating that he should switch from music to fishmongering because he wastes so much time in the studio performing nonsense he referred to as music.
Former Leone Island musician Kasolo Ibrahim Mayanja alias Big Eye, according to Edward Sendi, is unsuitable to be the Uganda Musicians Association (UMA) assistant treasurer.
Big Eye appeared on NBS TV’s UnCut Sabula show, where Edward Sendi and Kayz challenged him to write a short letter demanding money from a recognised financial institution live on camera, which Big Eye declined.
In one of his Talk N Talk shows, Edward Sendi asked UMA members why, out of all the artists in the association, they chose to nominate Big Eye as assistant treasurer since he can’t even draught a letter asking finance from a recognised financial institution.
Akuguzibwe Jacob alias DJ Jacob Omutuuze of Dembe FM’s Africa Koona and 2021 Bunamwaya Chairman LC III aspirant issued a severe warning to Eddie Ssendi, telling him to cease decampaigning him.
DJ Jacob Omutuuze slammed Ssendi, claiming that he was given Shs2 million by his opponent to decampaign him.
This was in response to Ssendi’s disparaging remarks about him on Dembe FM, where they both work. Jacob further revealed that he had discovered other recordings in which Ssendi is battling his political ambitions.
He also mocked Eddie Ssendi, revealing that he has no place of his own but is busy scheming his failure since he received a cash handout from his opponent Haruna Kyobe.
