In The Song Nzungu Na Kifinuku Papa Wemba calls out to Koffi Olomide as Le Grand Mopoa. Was this a form of recognition out from their past polemiques?

Not really. In fact Papa Wemba was actually giving tribute to Koffi Olomide's older brother and estranged brother known as Djonico Agbepa. For those who don't know, Djonico or Djo Nicko or Djo Nico, he was a known dressed man and was actually a good friend to Steve Niarcos. It also appears that Papa Wemba and Djo Nico used to hang out with each other from time to time to see Steve Niarcos. Koffi Olomide used to cite Djonico (Djo Nico) a lot in some of his songs. Here is my favorite moment when Koffi cites the name of Djonico (Djo Nico). It is the song called Dessin Amine made by Scola Miel who already left when this song came out.

It was because he was head of AMC and Maisha Parc, I believe that Koffi Olomidé also gave him a shout-out in Danger de Mort but I could be wrong. The same Papa Wemba also gave Koffi a shout-out in the song Esprit ya Sika from Somo Trop. Koffi and Wemba were cool from the moment Maisha Parc was created in 2004, would often team up together until everything got messed up from interview Papa Wemba did with late Francis Kakonde in 2009
