Nina Roz has tactically remained evasive during an interview when asked if she really received some yellow SACCO dime from Eddy Kenzo.
A few days ago, Kenzo named Nina Roz on a list of artists who have apparently received cash from the Musician Federation SACCO.
While addressing the claim in a phone convo, Nina almost bit her tongue as she sweated to deny ever tasting the yellow juice.
In doing so, she offered a vague response: “Ask him what he was giving me the money for… I’m one of the founders of the federation, and our mission was to fight for copyright and organise our industry. When that mission faltered, I decided to return to school,” she explained, without directly addressing whether she received the funds.
“I don’t want to talk much about the rest.”
Pressed further, she simply added, “If that’s what he said, let it be like that. I can’t change anything.”
Last week, Eddy Kenzo confirmed in a media interview that Nina Roz was among the artists who received and signed for cash from the federation’s SACCO.
Kenzo, the Byansi hitmaker, suggested that since Roz is eyeing a political office, she might be distancing herself from the federation to gain favour with the public.
Nina Roz has openly aligned herself with Bobi Wine, the president of the National Unity Platform. Wine has been a vocal critic of the federation, describing it as a government tool designed to reduce musicians to beggars and divert their attention from opposing the government.
