I have skipped parts but i saw him getting very angry twice,first with the musicians from the region of kasai(jb,tshala muana,jean goubald and co) for allegedly not putting him on the list to go to their region for a ceremony to honour newly appointed prime minister who is from there because it would allow more money for them,then he also was very angry at reddy for saying viva is dead since papa wemba is gone and its only a matter of time before the remaining group collapses and he says he is angry like that because wanting viva to die is like wanting him and the other guys to lose their job and he cant accept it

Bendo is angry because of this interview, where Reddy said that it's over for Viva since Wemba died

He's a faux leader so he can't blame the actual leaders for not including him in that ceremony. When was the last time he produced something of significance before spending more than a decade in obscurity?
Reddy is justified since time and time again, a band dies when the founder/president dies, as no one else will have same authority as that leader held.
It's was very ominous that he and Miyake decided to settle in Kinshasa the month Wemba died. Then he was at Mère Amazone's house almost daily, comforting he to gain her favor to get a big position. On top of that, he intentionally cut out the Cour des grands and all the influential figures who made Viva the institution it one was; i.e Colonel Jagger.
Long time Viva fans also haven't forgotten the negative things Bendo did and said towards Reddy in the past.

What happened between Nouvelle Écriture and Cour des Grands when Nouvelle Écriture first came to Europe in the late 90's ? Was there some jealousy from the Reddy,Stino camp against Bendoson,Pompom Miyake, and co ?
