Media personality Oga Obinna has accused Kenyans of deliberately finding reasons to undermine talented people, defending gospel music duo Wapendwa Muziki against criticism over their use of artificial intelligence (AI) in music production.
In a video shared on Thursday, November 5, 2026, Obinna has challenged critics to stop dismissing the duo’s musical abilities and instead recognise their talent.
He has maintained that the group’s use of AI tools does not take away from their creativity, insisting that their achievements deserve recognition.
Obinna calls out critics
The presenter has argued that Kenyans often look for excuses to discredit people who excel in their respective fields.
“Kenyans always like to find reasons to downplay greatness. If they see something great, they’ll always find a way to say hapana,” he stated.
Obinna has cited several public figures, including musicians and actors, whom he believes have faced similar criticism despite their achievements.
He has questioned why people are quick to attribute someone’s success to shortcuts rather than acknowledge the effort behind it.
Defends duo over AI use
Obinna has addressed the debate sparked by Mesh’s explanation of how the group uses Suno AI. He has said the interview showed how the tool helps them develop musical ideas, urging viewers to watch the full conversation before judging them.
“If you watch the video, you’ll see exactly how he’s singing,” he said, adding that critics who believe AI is behind the duo’s songs should try creating their own.
“Sasa wewe, si uandike yako na AI tuone?” Obinna challenged, laughing as he questioned why critics had not demonstrated what they believed was so easy.
Recalls earlier collaboration
The presenter has recalled sharing videos showing how he and the duo created a song together before Suno AI became available.
“Even us when we recorded the song we did with Wapendwa Muziki, I posted the videos on social media how we created it,” he said.
Obinna has maintained that the duo remains talented despite the criticism, adding that negative comments would not change what he described as God’s work through their music.
“Wewe piga yako, hater.” he concluded.
