Back then, the concert ban began in the Schengen area, and many were shocked by the way Didier Lacoste’s male and female dancers performed on stage. A lot of combattants were furious, which led Lacoste to quickly apologize to the people living in Europe. However, he also claimed that people were simply jealous of him.
Less than a week later, one of Kabose's dancers performed by removing her underwear, which caused even more outrage among the combattants. It became clear to them that the musicians had no intention of changing. Since that the combattants not only demanded that the artists stop supporting Kabila, but also insisted they put an end to vulgar dancing and singing about sex.
By the way, when the concert ban first started, an image was circulated showing two of Shella Mputu's dancers dancing nude, but it was falsely claimed that they were dancers from Werrason’s group. The combattans would use that image to start the concert-ban with activist Youyou Muntu Mosi and the Mutolo Zita Dya Nza (she dissapeared quickly from the spotlights) talking about whats happening in Eastern Congo and how bandleaders would exploit female dancers in their band.
