Interesting... he used to be very protective and not publicize his family. He has all his buddies involved of course. Controversies aside, its rare a musician stays on top this long, in any genre.


13eme Apotre is on the charts for World music at the moment. Selfie on pace to be a bigger single than Original and Mascara. Tough times for us enthusiasts of the good stuff.

Maybe with the cash raked in he can get himself a real Rolls. ;D

Yeah as much a lot of criticized him for the way he's done things post BEK he's still managed to stay on top in Africa. Lol yeah I was thinking the same thing, he has a nice house,clothes, cars but that  fake Rolls Royce just puts it all down, it doesn't look good at all. It's embarrassing for someone of his stature to have that, I'm pretty sure that he will make a lot of money from 13ieme Apotre sales, revenue from that album has already reached a million.

I heard that rumor of the Rolls Royce and koffi claim is real that is not fake he ever said that anyone who said is fake should come and prove it, is the car truly fake pls educate me i need to know more about that car ...... he is rate number 3 in richest musician in africa he has more cars more than any congolese musician

He has done well for himself but at a huge cost including loss of friendship with people that helped him in his foundation years as a musician.

His immense contribution to the congolese music industry cannot be ignored ,he has been a mentor to many including the current most popular and on demand artist from Congo ,Fally Ipupa who has taken the world by storm.

It truly looks like that "Selfie" song is catching on all because selfies are trending so its something everyone relates to,its good strategy!

Regarding the Rolls Royce, critics are probably right, that car he owns isn't an original Rolls Royce but a converted Chrysler 300 large luxury vehicle which is very cheap compared to premium brands like Mercedes, Jaguar or even Rolls Royce itself which is for top of the top but who cares, that Mercedes Benz next to it is damn expensive too, a good used one,like 2005 is about £55,000 on the market for an AMG one so Koffi can easily afford an original Rolls.

It may not be by coincidence that Selfie is doing well, I think this man understands his game well. He may be stupid but give it to him, he is a genius in his own right.

I certainly will not!!! I never had a problem with him promoting fally, bouro etc and he didn't focus too much on them as much as he does with cindy and if you remember koffi had a mini tour in 2005 he took with him ferre, soleil, modogo and the rest were former ql singers  and if you look now koffi has to take cindy EVERYWHERE he goes and its annoying a lot of us fans to the point where most of us despise her presence

Cindy is a talented singer but she gets on my damn nerves, Koffi even talks about Cindy like she is the second leader of QL. For exmaple he would says Cindy and my group QL like what?? Cindy is in QL.

How selfish;10-years later you still want him to tour with guys that are no longer in the team just because you don't like Cindy?

That's the same argument and excuse folks use on JB and the Mikulis; your gripe should be with Koffi not Cindy.

no i want him to focus with his current team instead of cindy say if she was treated normally like the others then maybe but that's a big maybe i will feel different there's no doubt she's a great singer but I hate her presence in the band she killed it I don't think I can ever forgive her and koffi for wasting talent's such as mon ami guelord, Asso, Babia, Arca dinheiro, J3 and others

The only reason Koffi has remained on top is because of his older music. Most people remember him for songs like this one.
Not his new songs.

about the rolls which is a chrysler,the guy who sold it to koffi wanted to sell it first to seguin who found it strange that the royce "sign"(i dont figure out the proper english word for that at the moment) was not like the one of fally's car and did not pay it,then the guy tried to sell it to karmapa who was not at home as he was in france dealing with his divorce
its few times after that he went to koffi and since he was with a guy who already sold koffi the jaguar he offered to cindy's dad,koffi trusted him

I have come across such guys..I know one who hangs around Fally and JB.They pass themselves as experts in rich man tastes.... If one is not careful they can really take you for a ride.

Even though its his business, I'm surprised he or anyone in his circle hasn't picked up on it really being a lowly Chrysler 300. His G63 AMG however, is top 3 in demand luxury vehicles in Africa at the moment so it's authentically of high value.


He was the among the first African entainers to own a Bentley Continental though, as presented by him in this video at 4:00:

Wow that dude really really did Koffi dirty, and the word you're lokkig forbid logo or emblem. Didn't Koffi get his "Rolls Royce" way before Fally and Seguin has enough money for a car like that??
