That must have been scary for Mbaliosombo and the rest. Imagine if JF Ifonge was already a pastor at that time. He would have released a VHS about it lol.

Translation? I think I know what he's talking about and the gravity of it all, but I just want to be sure.

Ngadiadia reacted to the rumors about being arrested for drugs-trafficking and sentenced 5 years in prison in UK, saying that it is false and that of a person that passed away in their house. He had to, because their were multiple articles written in Kinshasa and alot of people spreading rumors. Some saying that he was in prison for drugs-trafficking, some saying that they killed someone in their house, others that they sacrificed someone at their home with witchcraft for their success. When coming to the question of the guy that passed he way, he talked about their success in Sweden, Denmark & Finland and how they traveled from there with a paquebot to the UK. He alsosaid that their succes in London was really big and that at the place they were staying, a lot of visitors came the day they arrived and the stairs collapsed because of the big amount of people being there (This is the Congolese way of artists, when having the explain something serious, they have always to praise their fame).
After that he finally came to the point of the guy. Saying that person called Jean-Didier visited them twice and the third time he came around 11pm at their house. But the group was invited at Cresois Nsengo’s house, so they all left (except Ngadiaia who was tired and decided at home to sleep) the moment he came. Jean Didier decided to stay at their house where he started to talk with their director of production (I don’t if it is the good translation of directeur de production, maybe it just manager). Ngadiadia adding that Jean Didier came to their house with a Teacher’s Wishkey bottle, drinking it dry on his own. Then at some point, Jean Didier came to Ngadiadia’s bedroom to wake him up, wanting to talk to him. Ngadiadia was annoyed, because he wanted to sleep and was wondering who let him enter. So they then started to talk and he then said that he came with gifts (shoes) for him (Ngadiaidia) and Mbaliosombo. Then after that he tried to sleep, but Jean Didier waking him again up, asking him if he wanted to whiskey together with him. Ngadiadia refusing, saying that he already drunk some wine, that he could not mix it with wishkey and that he was tired. So he tried to sleep again. Jean Didier then going downstairs, talking with their manager and watching some cassettes, and discussing about the one of Emeneya (I guess the famous one called “Bavards Va” where he complained for not having received a shout-out in Wake Up). Then on 3 Am the group came back at home, the everybody being surprised that Jean Didier still hadn’t left. Him saying that he’s a “muana poto, that he can wait until 6 to get a taxi and start working”. The group having some like “ok” and they started talking. After minutes long talking everybody started leaving with only Mbaliosombo being left awake. Ngadiadia saying that both guys (Jean Didier and Mbaliosombo) are from the Barumbu-area and them starting talking. But after a moment, Mbaliosombo went upstairs to sleep. Jean Didier being left alone and then following Mbaliosombo upstairs. They started to have a conversation, Mbaliosombo was tired and wanted to sleep, but Jean Didier was keeping him awake when Mbaliosombo was falling in sleep. Then suddenly Jean Didier started to have a attack (maybe an epileptic seizure). Mbaliosombo was scared and started to scream his name, when he not reacting anymore. Mbaliosombo went quickly to Ngadiadia’s bedroom, to explain what happened. Ngadiadia then ordering Mbaliosombo to wake everybody up to look to Jean Didier and know what the problem could be. Them concluding that that he went ko because drinking a bottle whiskey on their own, not knowing that he passed away. They decided to open all windows, so that he could get cold and wake up sometime later. So everybody continued with sleeping after that. Then around 10am they all woke up and explained to the house-owner what happened. The house owner tried to wake Jean Didier up, but he wasn’t reacting. So he called the ambulance and even soldiers arriving at their home. When coming at their place and looking to the body, they decided to call a doctor (I think that they discovered that he already passed away). The doctor came and concluded that Jean Didier immediately passed away when he got that attack. The police bringing them all the police-station and asking each person what happened. But they weren’t able to answer, because no one of them could talk nor understand English. So the police decided to bring a French-translater, they tried to answer the questions about what happened and why they didn’t immediately call the ambulance but were all struggling with French. Ngadiadia being afraid, thinking that they would be deported to Kinshasa. The police then decided to do some investigation at their house and did an autopsy on Jean Didier’s body. They then discovered that he dead was due to alcohol and singing some stuff in it (maybe a drugsoverdosis). The affair created a problem with the family of Jean Didier, them going to the mourning, trying to explain what went wrong and him having also doing a video for the family living in Kinshasa to explain what happened when the corpse had to go back to Kinshasa. Saying that they are innocent family maybe have to solve the problem on the traditional way (alluding that could be a familial problem about witchcraft).
In the studio, Ngadiadia started to talk about Unibra, making some ad for their product Skol and saying that he’s still part of Unibra. Ngadiadia claiming that people also drink Skol in UK, saying that there are different products of it available in UK, confirming that Skol being an international product. Also sending his condolences to La Voix du Zaire, for a film-director called Komba, passing a away and next to it greetings to the people working for Unibra. After that Kakusa asked him, why some actors and musicians were left behind for their Europe-tour. Ngadiadia then explaining that it wasn’t his fault and that he didn’t punish those who were left behind, saying that everything went wrong because of his admin. The deal was that Ngadiadia would pay 6 tickets and the tour-promoter 9 tickets. Ngadiadia thought until the day that they had to travel, that they would go them all. But when coming to Beach Ngobila to get in Brazzaville to get the plane, Ngadiadia became mad because of discovering that not enough tickets were reserved for the trip to Brazzaville with the boat and that their manager called those working at Beach Ngobila that they had to travel with just 6 persons. Ngadiadia then noticed that they were played by his own admin, him wanting Alpatchino going on his place in order that the tour-promoters would get him later in Kinshasa because of being the head. But those working at Beach Ngobila trying to calm him down and convincing that the rest would follow them later on. Ngadiadia really being mad at his manager, because from the 6 tickets, just 4 being that of artists and the remaining to being that of the manager and another admin. Ngadiadia saying to him that, they didn’t deserve to travel, because they had to work on the rest of the tickets and that 2 artists had to go on their place since they had more importance then them. The moment they arrived in Sweden, Ngadiadia asked to the person that asked visa’s for them, why they didn’t got tickets for them and the person that explaining that himself was also surprised, thinking that they would come them all. The tour-promoter also being mad, because he thought that everybody would come. The visa’s of all group-members being finished in Kinshasa (looks like the admin just sold those tickets they received for the rest of the group). Towards the end, he’s saying the next time would not happen again, adding that they are the only comedy-group that tours alot in all regions of Zaire, going even to countries like Gabon and Brazzaville. Also that they are used to trips and that he would come soon, and go to countries like South Africa and Angola, all places he want the moment he will arrive and that this trip to Europe not being the last, that more trips of Europe will come and that the group-members that stayed in Kinshasa would come one day.
