On October 25th, 2019, Tanzanian musician Harmonize arrived in Kenya, sparking excitement among fans and journalists alike. However, his behavior during a press conference at Blu Door left many in the industry fuming.

According to Lily Mwangi of Kiss 100, Harmonize had planned to hold a press conference and give exclusive interviews to various media houses. However, he kept journalists waiting for the entire day before finally appearing, only to refuse to take questions.

Harmonize was accompanied by two of his managers and several bouncers, who allegedly pushed away anyone who tried to talk to him. This behavior was met with disdain from the Tanzanian media, who reported on the incident with a mix of amusement and outrage.

As reported by Tanzanian media, Harmonize was given only three minutes for interviews, despite the fact that he had been invited to speak at length about his new solo project, 'Uno'. The Tanzanian media outlets mocked Harmonize's behavior, calling it 'madharua' (a Swahili term for 'disrespect').
