Artists like Koffi Olomide, Fally Ipupa, J.B. Mpiana, Abeti Masikini and Werrason had claimed that they had a golden record(s) "Disque d'Or" in France. But I've seen interview of Emeneya and others, where they said that nobody had a golden record and they are doing that to get more attention from peoples. Is that true? Or are they just jealous?
Even Vasco Mabiala had claimed in 2011 that Ferre Gola had a golden record with Qui Est Derriere Toi, saying that he got it because of solding more than 110.000 in Africa,Europe & America. Which is not true because, it's not about how much sold around the world, but it's about how much you sold in a country like Belgium, Canada,France(where you must sold above more than 50.000 to get it),etc. Vasco claimed at the same time that Ferre had won 3 trophee at the TAAC's, for the categories Meilleur chanteur d'Afrique , Meilleure voix masculine d'Afrique Centrale , meilleure chanson et meilleur clip. While these categories don't exists at that awards. I've seen the edition of Taac that year live on tv and he didn't won any award there, he just did a playback of Tshekele Pete. The thing that is bad, is that many big sites reported that. Why Fally said Kosa Leka
