he says he is older than fabrice and actually was a friend of his elder brother christian and that he had an important role in fabrice becoming a professional musician as his parents did not want to let him become a musician but since he was missing class sometimes to learn music with the group of christian,yasser,fudji,eboa and co...at some point fabrice's mother accepted to let him go a bit more into music but gave yasser responsability to take care of him,and he assisted him in his times with dakumuda and later with fally and they even went to maison mere tests together after he made him rehearse well maison mere's songs because he knew them perfectly as a clan wenge fan
he says both had good tests but fabrice was more lucky to break into first team whereas he did 5 years in the inferior teams of maison mere and he was giving fabrice most of what we know(which fabrice himself conirmed in several interviews at beginning of his solo career)
after 5 years of never getting a chance in maison mere,yasser says he decided to take a step back and go back to street groups and sometimes fabregas was visiting them and when he had desire to do his first album he came to see him to collaborate and also create their group and he accepted and brought with him an arranger who actually did programing of many songs to be used on album while fabrice was still a maison mere member and secretly planning his exit
fabrice was saying that he could not buy songs since he already had a prolific songwriter in yasser and when guitarist mobé who also writes arrived it made him have plenty of song at his disposal
he started feeling a certain difference of attitude from fabrice,who suddenly rejected the fact he would have add a couple of songs to his own name on that album and rejected some of his vocals aswell and sometimes they were going to record in studio without him ,he was already tempted to leave but he thought about the long way they had gone through and the energy he spent on fabrice's career in general and thought that he'd not have enough energy to start solo career having giving a lot of his best to fabrice and gone through those strange treatment
he went to fabrice to apologize if ever he did something wrong which made fabrice change like that but instead it made it worse and his project of an album after fabrice's one which they agreed had now been rejected when fabregas started to get a bit of popularity with album amour amour and now had more personal ambition
when asked about an advice to fabrice he says he advises him to work even harder and to respect fans and become again the humble fabrice he knew before their fallout and 2 years without seeing each other
he says he is working on an albul with his funds and applied to f victeam so that they help him reach the end of studio works and he had already meet fally well before the supposed conflict of fabrice and fally and fally was impressed so he thinks fally will accept producing his album

This is how average people talk. The fact that Fabrice rejected his proposals simply means that he was not good enough. If he could not make it in MM he was not good enough.

i think the translation from lingala to english does not do him justice, at no moment he is trying to embarass fabrice whatsoever
he is just saying that whenthey started they started as a group of friends then when it worked out for fabrice he changed his plans completely towards his friends and did contrary of what they had agreed as he wanted to become a dominant leader
from the three friends with who he created his group,two have left because of that and the third left and came back as he finally was given a song on fabice's next solo album and chef d orchestre role
as for his time in maison mere i believe luck has a massive role,even many maison mere members often say in interviews that there are plenty of more talented guys rotting in reserves because luck was not or their side or he was just not in a place suited to him
proof is the big amount of ex maison mere guys who succeeded at tests but never broke into first team but who are doing well in other groups

luck? i think perhaps fabregas is lucky to have a not so typical sound and still has a good singing voice to boot. also ambition. i always hate to hear stories of friends breaking up over music though. i can understand wanting to lead but at the same time what is missing these days is TRUE collaboration. not just one leading and leeching off the talents of others they deem lesser.
i am hoping things change as time goes. i still have my dream of cooking up a singing group similar to zaiko but more modern of course. i would want each member to have equal footing in the group. i digress

exactly it will be cool to have a proper group being together for over a decade again like wenge did,zaiko did earlier and so on
but unfortunately now the example of fally ferre and co have motivated people about easily gambling on solo career,so just a little disagreement and boom,the group would collapse within a year max
