He says he did not leave maison mere because he wanted to leave maison mere but its some people in the group who forced him out,he noticed that for a long long time   he was not treated anymore the same way and was sidelined a lot and unfortunately in most groups of DRC leaders have people they have blind faith on and listen to whatever they say but he does not want to insist too much on it because he does not want people to think he is dissing werra
for example when fabregas left,those guys  went to gossip to werra that he could also leave so when they went to angola tour they abandoned him there as to say once back in kin that they were right but he paid his ticket him and got back to kin
he is asked about the eternal question of salary and said honestly there are almost no group in DRC who pay musicians on regular basis its once in a while but it does not bother musicians at all when they arrive in group because they arrive with     getting famous as their first target then as they get older they have more things to cope with but the system does not adapt to their change of levelso it ends up in people leaving in order to make at least more money than what they receive
he is asked about  the musicians who are representing maison mere well in solo career he says ferre fabregas heritier brigade robinio..and he adds that what he does not like in congolese music is the mentality,people are too evil or arrogant,even if they listened to your songs in private they'll go on tv and act like they don"t while in other countries  there is more unity and he says  in DRC we think rivalry is about hate whereas it should just be about pushing each other to work hard for the good of congolese music
papy asks him if people tell him he sounds like another singer and he straight away says yes he hears that he sings like fally and thats not hurting him at all but   people have to understand that they have some similar techniques but not  the same voice
 papy asks him if he can name people in maison mere when he was there who smoke weed because its a common thought that to perform you have to smoke and he joked that he wont give names but papy  just has to have a look at their faces and also their behavior because some of them had a behavior which betrayed them
about his future projects he reveals he is working on a small album to introduce his group bundesliga and he is on the verge of singing with a good label as  he is disappointed with the guy he collaborated with when he was let down by ivorian producer(he complained that he did not receive any money from sales and there was almost no promotion done the guy just released )

very humble guy. you can tell he doesn't want any problems. he just wants to make music that he loves. i agree with him 100% on the notion of unity. the only artist i've seen to work with a lot of different acts is celeo scram he has done songs with fally and ferre and had deplick and fabregas on his last album and even did videos with them to show some support to the younger artists. meanwhile you have artists like koffi and werra impeding on the progress of others when they have been in the business for 30 years. and that mentality rubs off onto their proteges. people like to blame the change in the music for congolese music suffering but i think its more so the discord between the different groups and artists. the pushing back and premature release of albums to try to interfere with sales. the discouraging of other artists through brute force and sending people after one another physically and even spiritually. these are the things really holding things back. could you imagine if instead of everyone waiting to play certain venues in europe if these different groups pooled their resources and promoted their own tours and shows throughout africa? from where i sit there is also too much power given to sponsors. i would love to see new artists putting money aside to really build label companies and delegating the tasks of A&R and CEO and things like that to qualified people not trying to do everything themselves under the guise of being a band leader. anyway i'm rambling now but i think congolese music as an industry is improving in many aspects but still suffers from old old ways.
