Just out of curiosity, did Koffi ever collaborate with Franco or did he ever do any shout to Franco....? How did Koffi relate to Franco?

No direct collabo that i know of and don't know if they actually even met but in the past i read some disrespetful comments allegedly by Koffi on Franco's guitar skills.
The closest Koffi ever came to Franco was when he collaborated with TPOK Jazz's Josky Kiambukuta on the 1983 Koffi song Ngobila and others from his(Koffi's) first album Ngounda and when TPOK was when he featured on a live TPOK Jazz studio session and sang his song Ngobila alongside Madilu System and Josky Kiambukuta backed by TPOK Jazz Band including Vice President Lutumba Simaro on rhythm guitar, Franco wasn't present at least whilst Koffi sung with the duo. The song Ngobila is like Koffi's own version of Lutumba Simaro's Ebale Ya Zaire.

Let me add a little context to the video that DJ Sly is speaking. Actually this video was in 1992. Franco had already passed on.
Here is the video in case that you are not sure.

BTW Nyoka Longo did talk about Koffi and Franco here as well as even mentioning Pepe Kalle during his beef with Koffi
