Songstress Sanaipei Tande does not agree with Eric Omondi that West African music beats Kenyan music.
Speaking in an interview with NTV, Sanaipei who is currently promoting her EP said she is not easily moved by trends.
“I guess the reason I still do music is since I can write a song that really helps someone. I love when I can come up with a verse that gets deep to someone. I have a family that keeps me grounded.”
She added that she is proud of artistes who make money from their music in the right way.
“Let’s not pretend that it’s not about money since you put in money to get the songs out and we appreciate the money that comes with it. Legit money. I think I continue doing good music as long as there are people who appreciate it and its clean music. I am good to go.”

Responding to Eric’s claim that Tanzanians and West Africans beat Kenyan artistes in their music, Sana asked;
“Who is he comparing to us? There is an issue with the appreciation of Kenyan artistes by Kenyans. I don’t know why but I think the system doesn’t allow artistes to be as big as the West Africans but again it comes down to content.”
She added;
“You are comparing us to Tanzanians and West African and half of their content is promoting sex, partying, and alcohol.
I probably would not be the best to talk about it but content-wise, I don’t think they are good. The beats comes in and then the sexual connotation that is there. As much as they are well packaged, what impact do they have on the youths and society?
I don’t feel Eric’s vibe and it doesn’t affect me since I know I am doing good music and I know I’m touching people’s souls. I write about what I feel and that which is helping someone out there.
I don’t sit and think about doing a hit song.”
