Isn't weird for the way JB Mpiana used often praise Kongolo Mobutu "Saddam Hussein" in his songs, while it has been said that Mobutu was behind JB's father death ? and him continuing to praise other children of Mobutu and their wives when they weren't in power anymore. It has been said that JB Mpiana's father used to be one of his adviser, but something led to Mobutu ordering his soldiers to cut him in pieces. Later when JB Mpiana was about to perform at Zenith 2013, combatants who were against the concert brought that story back and even his former concert-promoter of Montreal. Or is that story just false ?

i think it happened like that but jb and co were protected  and told it was an accident,ya felly was that time the main man or one of the big guys of office de routes and was somebody who spoke his mind
jb discovered the news coming from gombe if i remember well with werra and kibens
the way werra handled him that  day is a strong moment of their friendship which used to bring jb back to earth when he was getting too angry about what happened in hot polemic time
i am sure he grew up with the idea that it was not possible that mobutu was that mean
