ya popo seems to hold extreme grudge,but he does not want to ever really disclose the real reason for that in all interviews of the past 10 plus years,it must be that passport thing which hurt him the most
and he warns his family to not accept even a single cent from koffi because that would be like mocking his dead body

Passport thing? Is that the situation when he got left behind when Quartier Latin went to Bercy? I'm just surprised that Koffi would do Beniko dirty like that, because he's contributed so much good music for many of Koffi's albums. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Beniko play a huge role in training the guitarists of Quartier Latin when they first formed because Lebou, Felly, and others were still somewhat inexperienced? How could you betray someone like that?

Koffi used Popolipo's passeport to bring a ngulu with it and when coming to Europe he insisted to the ngulu that he had to ask asyleem with Popolipo's name. In order that it would never possible for Popolipo to get in Europe. But I think that much more happened behind the scenes that Popolipo will never reveal on camera. He also got chased away from the house he was renting, because it was on Koffi's name. Do Akongo had a similar problem, but it was something about drugstrafficking, which why for like 7 years when he was trying to apply for a visa for Schengen, he was always rejected. Because after Quartier Latin leaving he had some succes, everybody waiting for his album. But when trying to get in Europe to record his album, he wasn't getting visa and him being forced to record the album with Nono Fudji, Eboa Lotin, Bidjana and co. Only to get the bad luck that Junior Mac Kenro being Koffi's close friend and when having to produce Koffi's Stade des Martyrs, Koffi coming with the condition of him not releasing Do Akongo 's album and the hard disk being "lost". But Junior Mac Kenro getting scammed by the same Koffi after the concert lol. It's because of Tshala Muana who was close to policitians that the problem got solved and Do Akongo managing to get in Europe in 2009.

Koffi was mad at Beniko Popolipo for having released a solo album within Quartier Latin. In his eyes nobody had the right to do that and if it would happen one day, it would be the day he would be finished. He left Suzuki Luzubu for the same reasons in Kenya for Olympia, knowing that Suzuki was about to record a solo album in Europe and that his influent donors/fans already were looking for someone to finance the project and release the album. Emeneya and Werrason said something similar about artists releasing albums in bands. Werrason making the comment that Sankara also released an album. A few years ago someone made an interview with Teddy Mola about why solo-artists do like that. But I don't remember who because these 8 years have seen to much interviews of artists on youtube.

Congolese leaders gotta be the MOST insecure type of Powerful people in Congo history tbh, paying peanuts their employees, getting mad if they get too much space or too much money in their band, but also getting amd at them if they get force out or leave and want to release an album on their own. I get that it is hard to having people to compete with and Koffi won't ever do anything for any of his employees like he did with Fally (because now Fally surpassed him in terms of relevancy) andnthats just sad, because Congolese music at least Ndombolo/Rhumba doesn't get that generation re change that got Nigerian artists for example.to go and conquista the world.

That drug trafficking thing could also be a reason why kissindjora could not get visas for long who knows

well damn you can say that the chapter between beniko and koffi is officially closed
