“We are so grateful to God almighty for such a great moment in our country Uganda. My fellow artist I want to thank you. This is for all of us and to my motherland Uganda thank you for raising me. East Africa stands up, “

Bebe Cool, alias Moses Ssali, congratulated Kenzo on receiving the GRAMMY nomination, and encouraged all artists to back him.

“Your humble behaviour will always be the key to open all your opportunities. May Allah bless you more because this nomination is a win for you and all of us as Ugandans. Let’s bring this Grammy to Uganda,”.
