Y’all are really watching 3 hours of this interview?? What happened to well-researched interviews that can address all relevant points in 30-45 mins? Someone please consult Ado

Even if it were JB himself actually answering tough questions on work ethic I don’t think i can spare 3 hours

lol, so Seguin already started spying and snitching at that time kiekiekiekie

LOL I was so surprised at that part, he really started snitching on Blaise and Makaba. How could the rest of the group especially guys like Afande and co years down the line still trust him whereas he still ended up stabbing them in the back.

Maybe because of them being cousins. I really wonder how Blaise Bula and Alain Makaba wanted to create a rebellion within Wenge BCBG, because except Mpela and JB there were just instrumentalists left and the reserve singers (Kibens, Rio, Chai and Heritier) weren't in the first team yet.

I thought that Alain Mpela would explain in detail what happened at Zenith de Paris with Alain Makaba.

I didn't knew that Amadou Diaby was JB Mpiana's manager, I always thought that he was a donor like Mohammed Kaniansy. Is Amadou Diaby a Guinean based in Kinshasa ? Is there any biography or info about this man.

So JB Mpiana isn't any different then Werrason, tith Alain Mpela explaining that the situation terribly with money when touring in Africa and them getting peanuts. But why like musicians of BCBG praising JB Mpiana as a god while he didn't pay them compared to Werrason who always get attacked by his former musicians ? However, it must have been a fun time during those concerts in Tchad, Niger, Guinea, Benin, Mali, Senegal, Cameroun and Ivory Coast, performing in stadiums, getting received by ex' president Lasana Conté of Guinea. Wasn't there any videotape released of their famous concert in Conkary of 2003 ?

The reason why some ex BCBG treat JB like a God is simply because he treated them good and also stood by them when they were wanted out. Think about it it’s the unwanted controversial people that praise JB, the talented and good ones are the ones who “expose” Jb, for example Bikou Le Brun, Tutu (after he left), both generations of the PPU, Sunda Bass (RIP), even Chai recently.

Maybe because of them being cousins. I really wonder how Blaise Bula and Alain Makaba wanted to create a rebellion within Wenge BCBG, because except Mpela and JB there were just instrumentalists left and the reserve singers (Kibens, Rio, Chai and Heritier) weren't in the first team yet.

It could’ve been possible, they might have taken a few minor members like instrumentals, and Rio who was Blaise’s pire petit and then recruit more musicians.

Guys the thing with jb which musicians liked about him is that,and many leaders do that,they'd help you on a private matter worth 6 months of salary  but strangely enough they'd rather that than pay you your salary for 6 months because okokoma tetu okoya retard na concert,and jb does those helps several times a year so it compensate somehow,but it always ends up being not enough at the same time because family's expectation based on the image they give is rocket high
alain says it in the interview(bolamu ya jb eza que asungaka soki o soumettre ye likambu"
i wonder how leaders prefer doing like that
(by the way an anecdote,last year wazekwa had suggested jb to do like him and sign with an hospital for treatment of his musicians and their relatives,bcbg musicians refused because it would lead to them not being able to lie that something happened to get money because they'd just have to be given a paper from mbuta or my bro or the two other assistants to go that hospital)
and like prince said its the controversial upset guys who talk bad about jb,most of the case because in reality their communication with jb is highjacked by the bullying chefs so if you have to ask for something to jb and he tells you kende ko mona seguin of course he will not give you then you'll go back hating on jb or of course he will not pass your message to jb that you are in need so you will think that you are ignored
bikou for example how you will remain peaceful in the group when you are snitched on that you are dating anya while the boss has his fun with her or that you want to follow alain mpela along with taking some of the young guys
for those who wonder why its until kipe ya yo fudji and co did not get much space here is one of the reason they had to prove they are loyal and reliable because of suspicion to be following alain mpela
sunda wanted his album and had got a pre-agreement with jb,how would he have resisted getting it totally given when he was in open conflict with the DP guys,same with abraham and his album axeing  the whole DP and TH guys only using the young guys and zulema  and sunda genta who were in the other camp
 all this paints jb as a weak leader,but unfortunately what happened is common with groups having competition within admins and staff members, no wonder koffi wazekwa  karmapa who are almost the whole administration by themselves face little of these cases in recent years

lol like my bro says seguin would know even the number of times you snore in the night if he has to follow you  a big big snitch
surely because its his cousin that alain did not explain how in his last 8 months in bcbg seguin was following him which created mind games with jb knowing already way before that alain has plans,alain even almost got removed of an african concert list but jb changed his mind for the sake of image

A wasted 3 hours. I did not learn anything.

You can't cover 30 years of musical career in 45 minutes.

I really like the long format interview where the guest has the ability to expand on many points. 3 hours interviews are nice. However, you need someone with a certain knowledge of history to ask proper questions. Ado is doing a bad job.

He wasted 3 hours with Alain Mpela asking superficial questions and seeking answers everyone already knows about. For instance, in the last part, I wanted to know about the first tour in Europe, the preparation of Titanic and TH, the road to Zenith and show itself, the Pipiyu crisis, etc. Instead, he let Afande babbling about drinking coffee at Grand Hotel.
