Big Eye reveals why he disrupted Eddy Kenzo’s concert.

During the Eddy Kenzo Festival at Kololo Airstrip on Saturday, while performing, Ibrahim Mayanja, well known as Big Eye Starboss was seen involved in a scuffle with a deejay on stage.

While performing at the Eddy Kenzo Festival, Big Eye, requested the DJ to play his latest song one more time as he makes his way off the stage, but instead, the DJ played King Michael’s song.

This annoyed Big Eye and attacked the Deejay and they had to be separated by bouncers at the concert

Many people who attended the show say that Starboss wanted to use it to steal Eddy Kenzo’s shine and make news.

“Ndi Single” hitmaker revealed that he was infuriated by the fact that he has invested a lot of time and money in the new song and he couldn’t understand why the deejay would refuse to play it.

“I came to sing and have fun still. How could he have refused to play my latest song, my favourite song. You don’t know how much I have invested to put that song in place,” he said.
