Comedian Erick Omondi has been banned from going to the annual Sol Festival.

In a statement by boy band Sauti Sol lead vocalist, Bien the security has been told not to let him in adding that he has gotten a restraining order against him, “Eric, your big mouth has gotten you here! Don’t blame the musicians. Nobody wants to see you at Sol Fest so please stay away! The @solfestafrica security team has this morning received strict instructions NOT to allow this crazy fellow and his borrowed dogs anywhere near 500 meters of the concert venue! “Personally, I have filed for a restraining order against him. Therefore, I urge you all to avoid him like a plague.”

In response Erick Omondi asked for 20 VIP tickets for him and his dogs, “I need 20 VIP TICKETS and Treatment for my 20 Dogs…I also need another 20 VIP Tickets for the dog handlers…Actually how much is the entire VIP Area??? I need it cordoned off for me my Dogs and My Dawgs.” Earlier, Erick claimed he will need at least 20dogs to attend solfest for his security, “An event like Solfest, I might come with like 20 of them since there are artistes who might harm me.” Adding that he does not feel safe, “”I don’t feel safe. I have to sniff on all the people available at places that I am attending. I have so many haters out here. Especially, artistes do not like me.”

Bien had earlier stated he does not support Erick’s ways of pushing for Kenyan music and should instead focus on bringing up talents like Tanzanian musician Diamond, “If he really wants to change the industry, he should get these young people in the comedy industry and if he is the president of comedy, he should do what Diamond is doing, he is taking young talents like Mbosso and bringing them to Wasafi where he is nurturing them and they are successful but Eric Omondi is selfish”
