Touching on the topic of Kenyan artists supporting each other, Fathermoh expressed disappointment in some well-known artists, like Bahati and Willy Paul, who he claims have been reluctant to collaborate with their fellow Kenyan musicians.
"It very sad. Someone like Bahati has never given a collaboration to a fellow artist in Kenya. Hautawahi pata Farthermore featuring Bahati or Willy Paul. Wanaona ni kama wakipiga ngoma na sisi hakuna mahali watafika, yet wao ndo wanacomplain," he said.
