There isn't much information available on the notorious "Tundu La Shimo" singer, but Eric has stated that he should no longer be regarded as a Kenyan and that he wants evidence that will result in his arrest.
When Lil Aziiz shared a new version of Tundu La Shimo Guy's song on Twitter in January, the song quickly gained popularity. Almost 60,000 people watched the film, which received a lot of enthusiastic comments on social media.
The song has been around since at least the epidemic era. It first emerged on Twitter in July 2020, although it received little attention then.

Eric Omondi has relentlessly battled in recent years to increase airplay for regional artists. He has engaged in high-profile arguments with singer Bien of Sauti Sol and even Khaligraph Jones due to his agitation for radio and TV stations to include a minimum of 75% local airplay.
Despite his constant advocacy for local musicians, Eric appears to have reached his breaking point. And it comes in the form of a terrible song that became popular online.
He finally made progress last year when he presented his idea to parliament and was assured that it would soon become a bill that the new president, William Ruto, would sign into law.
For the past few years, Eric has been vocal about the entertainment business. Due to this, he and the main vocalist of Sauti Sol, Bien, have been engaged in a protracted argument. Bien has referred to Eric as a self-serving annoyance who does not recognize the advancements in local showbiz.
Eric recently presented his interpretation of the Ten Commandments, which was motivated by his trip to the Biblical Mount Sinai in Egypt and inspired by his newly discovered mission as the saviour of Kenyan entertainment. At No. 9, he simply wrote "Bien" on the label.
Speaking on the Eve Mungai channel, Eric explained his decision to include "Bien": "Bien ni msumbufu. Bien is a cancer, he's a tumor in the industry. Bien ni monkeypox-- ushawai umwa na kitu mahali huwezi kujikuna? Eh... Bien ni mbu. Bien ni kiroboto."
