Ugandan music heavyweight Bebe Cool has expressed interest in collaborating with Kenyan artistes during his ongoing visit to Nairobi, where he is currently on a six-day media tour.
Speaking a day after his arrival, the award-winning artiste revealed he is keen to work with celebrated local musicians, including Bien of Sauti Sol, and veteran performers Wyre and Nazizi Hirji. He also mentioned being open to discovering and connecting with new talent across the country.
“I have seven days in Kenya, I want to see, there are opportunities in every country, there are names I’ve heard about, the Zulu’s, ofcourse Bien is doing good, my old partners that I;ve worked with, Wyre, Nazizi, I am open to anything,” he said.
Bebe Cool jetted into Nairobi on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, accompanied by his wife, Zuena Kirema.
The couple received a warm welcome at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, complete with flowers and a fleet of escort vehicles. In a heartwarming moment captured by fans and photographers, Bebe Cool was seen opening the car door for his wife, a gesture that earned him admiration on social media.
Media tour
His media tour, which runs until July 6, 2025, is designed to reintroduce him to the Kenyan audience while strengthening ties within the region’s entertainment circles. He is scheduled to appear on top television and radio platforms and engage directly with fans and key industry stakeholders.
One of the major highlights of the tour will be a one-on-one session with media personality Anyiko Owoko, who is also serving as his manager during the visit.
This is Bebe Cool’s most structured media campaign in Kenya in recent years and reflects his renewed interest in cross-border collaborations and expanding his musical footprint across Africa.
The visit also marks the beginning of his BreakTheChains international media tour, which will include stops in several African countries. He announced the tour via Instagram, calling Nairobi the first stop in a larger campaign aimed at promoting a fresh sound and a unified African music movement.
“The first stop is Nairobi. We kick off the BreakTheChains international media tour in style – July 1st to 6th, 2025. New sound. New fire. New Africa,” Bebe Cool wrote on Instagram.
