Radio Maisha presenter Billy Miya has had a tumultuous experience trying to book Willy Paul for an interview. In a now-deleted post, Miya expressed his frustration, stating that it was harder to book Willy Paul than Interior CS Fred Matiang'i.
According to Miya, Willy Paul had forgotten how he was struggling in the Coast region before Miya helped him by inviting him to perform. Miya claimed that he had given Willy Paul shows in the Coast region, but the musician had since become arrogant.
“I remember when I was building him, I used to give him shows down at the coast na alikua ameniganda kama chawa lakini leo hii ananijibu “who is this”,” Miya posted.
“I have deleted your number and blocked it, don't even look for me in 100 years, enjoy your life bro,” Miya added.
Miya also vowed to never support Willy Paul’s music in any way or mention him in any conversation again.
It appears that Miya was trying to land an interview with Willy Paul, but all his efforts were futile, with the musician promising to call back over 100 times.
“He picks then says he is calling back but doesn’t, over 100 times. I understand that it's his phone and has liberty to pick or ignore but in this industry we need each other to prosper,” Miya said.
