The video is back on youtube. I hope that it will not dissapear anymore. Do y'all think that Koffi and JB will reconcile once again the future or will the stuff that happened between both guys in 2012 and 2014, make them stay enemies for ever ?

You would think that because of JB Mpiana and Koffi Olomidé squashing the beef that they would remove the attack of each other from their albums, but it didn’t happen. For JB Mpiana it was already to late, because Anti Terro got released one week later. With the shot “yo tata ya madefu nazwi yo tein” and late Cellulaire cri “Lucifer afungoli porte” staying in the album. Koffi  Koffi would in the following months travel to finish the recordings of Monde Arabe. However, he still maintained the cri of Acide Wanzambi, which was “pesa nga trophee nayo”. The cri refered to the way JB Mpiana never managed to get trophees at the Kora Awards. Back in 2003-04 Maison Mère-members and Quartier Latin-members often used to mock JB Mpiana in concerts, cri’s and interviews. Celeo for example mocking JB at FIKIN 2003 for the way he was pissed off in private for not getting a contract for FESPAM and receiving Kora’s, calling him Ya Mundele. At the same time, television-channels would show extracts of Koffi’s shows in Europe singing Sylvie, BCBG-fanatics and even some journalists claiming it was to mock Amida for cheating on JB and leaving him for Didi Kinuani, while it was just a normal song. In the same period Acide came with the cri “mutu rouge ako zua le combien” (what grade will mutu rouge receive) to mock JB, for in their eyes failling in his career, but it didn’t enter in Monde Arabe. After Monde Arabe, Apocalyps would re-use the same cri, but this time to mock Emeneya. 2003 was a bad year for JB Mpiana in private and professional life.


Towards the end of the video, you had a footage of all bandleaders meeting Joseph Kabila for Maisha Parc. It was the day that things went wrong because of 15.000 dollars affair.

I mean if Wazekwa and Koffi could reconcile even if it was brief then anything’s possible loool and Koffi despite his questionable antics at times doesn’t hold grudges.
