in short he started with songs  and explained why he left maison mere and the fact werra promised him album years before him leaving,and at some point the same werra made it clear to him that solo albums of musicians dont exist in maison mere and how people around started putting pressure on him that most of his generation are solo and even some who he welcomed in wenge are becoming big solo stars so he should react before its too late
he benefitted a lot from werra and he tried his best to pay him back as well during his 15 years in the group and he hopes people can value both what he gained and what he gave and remembers that it happened that a couple of times he performed with maison mere without werra who was abroad which meant he had done enough to earn such huge confidence from his boss
and he says unlike what people think he did not prepare his departure as much as people though,in fact when he went to give his letter  he was going to a tough personal period, he had lost around 200K dollars in casino as he got driven but the excitement of the game and to "maintain his pride" the way leaders teach them a musician "should act" and without the huge support of his friends  he would not have been able to bounce back which is why he is very thankful to them
 and he did not want to form a band,but it all came from insistance of his friends and staff with his core of the ex maison mere guys who were all his friends  who quickly came to him as they already had ideas to leave maison mere
he says werra was everything for him  but from the moment he got denied album a lot of things started to happen behind the scenes so to protect his relationship with werra he prefered to leave and prove a point to those in and around maison mere who said he was finished if he left
about salaries in groups he said he could not care less about it when he arrived in the group,he was more than happy with the odd gift here and there but he feels the congolese music in general needs to adapt to the fact employees grow and their responsabilities become bigger, the day it will be adressed there will be far less guys storming out of groups
he did a (fantastic) interpretation of his idol papa wemba's song PHRASE  and he said he has absolutely no problem with people around him being friends with other artists but  unfortunately a lot of people around him are rejected by other artists as soon as they commit with him,for him an artist and a star does not have to control people around him like he is their father and that is one of the reasons he does not like to be called president,because he does not need to be feeling like he is a superhuman he is a star on stage and slightly off it but he respects people around him be it the company owners or the random street kids
he adressed the moto na tembe nickname which a lot of people think was a response to fally's tembe esili saying its werra who called him like that because he used to love to argue for a long time to always express when he agreed or disagreed on something about the group or in general and people think the challenge meant  by "tembe" is direct towards other artists but its a challenge against himself to prove that yes he did great things under werra's wings,but he is also able now to do it on his own like a man,but unfortunately a lot of things are misunderstood about him people always take whatever he says in the worst possible sense but hopefully one day they'll understand he is not what they think although he is not perfect either
abdoul kaba challenges him to play a game where he'll mention one artist and he'll say a word to describe him he says phenomenon for werrason,charismatic for jb mpiana,huge sense of perfection for koffi olomide,talent for reddy amisi,fantastic singer for ferre,great composer for papa simaro,genius for bill clinton,for celeo he says he is a warrior because  he turned around the fact werra did not trust him at all when he joined,interesting to listen to for moise mbiye,king for fally,diva for barbara kanam,he was asked about kabila and he refused to give a comment but on abdoul's insistance he says the president,courageous for fabregas,companion for capuccino lbg because they went through a lot together when they were friends,and he is asked about his mother and he says his mother is his goddess she raised them without father and today he is who is because of her and he jokes that he expected the name of sankara to say comedian

I feel that Phrase (of Papa Wemba) is one of Heritier's favorite songs because even in his live at Romeo Golf he played it and interpreted it very well

Cmon Heritier, you had a group rehearsing behind the scenes while he was still in Maison Mere. I would've been heated losing 200k no matter what the circumstances was. He's also right about salaries, everyone in the group should get one and depending on their role and importance should be paid differently. Like for example Milito should be paid more then Yumbi, because Milito gives songs, is one first team and is always next to Heritier while Yumbi has a animation here and there.

The leaders should also put everyone who participated in the album to be a beneficiary so they can always get some type of residual for themselves and for their  family.

I feel it's time Watta just focus on his career instead of all these explanations. If his music is soaring nobody will care so much about why he left Maison Mere. Fally & Ferre rarely have to deal with these explanations. Heck! Fabro doesn't always have to give explanations why he left Maison Mere. We all know the real reason 90% of them leave.

Don't you think its too early for Heritier to avoid questions about his time at Maison Mere and his departure thereof given how long he'd been with group and how influential he had become by the time of his departure.

Héritier can still talk about his story in MM and his departure but he should not stay on it. Because the journalists induce too much error Héritier, on an interview of one hour they make him speak 30 or 45 min on MM and his departure whereas it should last only a few minutes and then to continue on his career, his album Retirada and the future of his career
