“I don’t know where this is coming from. I want to make it clear that the late Laurent Kabila was once a very close friend and we shared a lot in common. It is, however, a normal thing for people to disagree and I don’t see why mine should be a big deal,” he said.

Defao added that his decision to settle in Kenya was personal. “We all have freedom of choice. Besides, I am not blacklisted in Congo and that means I occasionally stage concerts in certain areas except for Kinshasa. This is simply because I want my Kinshasa concert to be a grand affair owing to the fact that it is the centre of entertainment,” he claimed.

Adressing the drastic change in his skin complexion:

Two years ago, many were shocked to see the extent to which he had bleached himself. He was described as "whiter than white".

But Defao was quick to explain that he has a delicate skin condition that requires him to use a skin lightening cream that goes by the name Dermovate.

^ lol oh man that's hilarious , Mastervoice, ain't nobody buying that. Tchoko, plain and simple.

Addressing famous internet rumours he was completely broke in Kenya and performing on the streets:

“My home is in the leafy suburbs of Nairobi’s Lavington estate. I am living large – making the best out of life.”

He denied claims that he had been reduced to a backstreet performer in places where Congolese bands based in the country are known to pitch tent and are paid peanuts.

“I am entitled to stage shows wherever I desire. After all, my music is not only for the rich - my fans cut across various backgrounds,” added Defao who is also known for curtain-raising gigs for visiting Congolese musicians on many occasions.

So true:

“It is unfortunate that the media, which is meant to boost my career, is busy contributing to my downfall in every way possible. Despite these damaging allegations I will continue making good music and giving my fans the best of entertainment,” he said.

I've been a big Defao fan for decades, so I would love to see his grand return to Kinshasa and have him get the media attention and respect all the other big artists receive in Mboka. What are you waiting for? He's been making excellent music in Nairobi, but Kenyan media does not give attention to Congolese expatriates, unless it's bad news.
