I like Rio as a person. In his interviews he comes across quite likeable and just a calm guy, unlike his friend Kibens who’s just arrogant with his french and always boasting. I didn’t rate him much because of the way he sang, he sounded like such a woman, but he’s alright.
He exaggerated about Aimelia refusing to give him his mic at concerts and Alain giving Chai his mic, because if you watch all the concerts after Blaise’s departure in 1999 there was 5 mics and 3 of them were Jb’s, Alains and Aimelia who were never ever leaving their positions. The whole Zenith and Olympia, Alain and Aimelia never changed positions.
It was always the 5th mic that Chai and Rio were fighting over. Because there were a concerts in Kin before Zenith for example on Cinemax where Rio sang.
So for him to say no one knew who he was when they came back from Zenith is an exaggeration come on man.
One thing that he said and that I agree with is everytime guys leave Bcbg and accuse the old guards of unsettling them, Rio’s name is never mentioned, it’s always Kibens, Jdl, Seguin and sometimes Chai’s fault.
He also indirectly threw Kibens, Seguin and JDL under the bus, by saying those guys are too buddy buddy with JB, so that’s why they have so much power to do those things.

If I remember well they said that almost the whole group was behind Fally and that they were about to add Jordan who already left.

There are people who claimed that Babia joined Academia for real. If it was the case, I don't know what made him made return Quartier Latin again while they were about to tour in Europe with Beniko Popolipo and those who they  recruited in Kinshasa. Maybe that Koffi did the trick to Rocky Blanchard back in 1998, not wanting to see him tour in Europe.

Babia made a mistake returning to QL instead of going to Academia, it would’ve given his career another boost, especially since he most likely would’ve added a song in Viagra.

Another Academia led by Fally would’ve been interesting, it might’ve given the rest a better chance of a career rather than the one they had after leaving QL to go solo.

Babia and Willy Bula joining Academia in 2000 around the same time Suzuki did. The Chorus of Sam, Modogo, Bouro, with Babia, Suzuki, and Willy would’ve been special.

Quartier Latin rebellion in 2005/06 led by Fally, Fally himself indirectly confirmed in an interview once that something was about to happen. @Mfumu do you have any idea which musicians were rumoured to be a part of that plan?

Les Marquis with where they tried to get Fally, Jordan Kusa, Shella Mputu, Genta and others to join.

the rebel group mr simon tried in bcbg when  he lost jb after internet hahahaha would have changed a LOOOOOOOOT of things(since it was the controversial TH team which was meant to leave with kibens as leader but as kibens refused to commit to it it broke everything)
i would have love to see for example when brigade was abandoned in kin then did his quick bcbg spell and his first maison mere one him joining les marquis to compliment bill

Wait what? the TH team were gonna do a rebellion? who exactly was a part of the plan? Damn.. it should've happened.

Talking about deplick,ken mpiana better watch out now that he has started making interviews attacking him or tryng to use mbuta likasu  to ridicule him for how he criticized the way they'd spent months on ferre's back,years ago after ken attacking him going to extent of mocking him for his girlfriend of then suffering miscarriage deplick went on personal hunt for him and was inches away from jumping on him to beat him if not roger ngandu arriving to do an interview with ken
deplick is no pushover as much as he does soft music,he's the only guy in the history of maison mere who handled heritier's guys

Deplick does look like a fighter, I remember not long after he left Maison Mere Sankara was on his back constantly attacking him, then Deplick replied threatening to beat the hell out of Sankara if he continues, and after that Sankara went pretty much silent afterwards   

In Force de Frappe Fally’s song Éternellement was track 2. I always thought it was done on purpose that Insecticide came straight after Pharmacien on the cd version.
