Looks like he doesn't put effort anymore in promoting his album, while his album is very good and his best album in my opinion after listening it for months. The promotion was already messed up from start with all journalists only asking about Koffi and the song Caligula, while the song has many songs.

Btw Congolese people are difficult people because they want to get everythig for free. Boite Noire and Abacadabra were well received because they uploaded all those songs on youtube the day they released the album, which made alot of people in the diaspora listen to the album for free. But with Congolese artists not uploading those songs on youtube directly but after 6/9 months or a year, made alot of people not listen to album with them also not wanting to buy them in shops or do an effort to listen it on Spotify or Deezer. Only the new generation does that effort and people coming from other countries.

I'm amazed streaming isn't catching well with Congolese. Are they still pirating albums there?

Congo is a total different environment if you confront it with the rest of the world, since the middle classe is very short and the majority of the poulation is pure, people prefer to pirate disc instead of buying them, and the most album buyers are the diaspora from France, Belgium, USA and all the European/White Majority country, another reason why album don't sell much in Congo it is because usually donors are the big buyers a donor take 50, 100, 200, 500 disc and distribute them to the poor guys or to his staff and so on.
With the internet only reaching the 30% of a 78 milion people and with the majority of internet users using internet for different things you can see why streaming is still not taking over in Congo

It was Karmapa's fault, Koffi is huge not only in Congo but whole Africa I have had a tunisian girl friend of mine that asked me have you ever heard of a song called Selfie by Koffi O.O I was like whaaaaat? And you see if you diss Koffi with your greatest song ever people will pay you attention but will pay attention only to that song, Karmapa should have made a normal song without dissing Koffi because it is a suicide,  I can understand that he is still mad at Koffi but the past is the past
