The succes of je m'Appelle Toi was so big that he started to be a big threat to Felix Wazekwa, who came from the same quarter. With a beef starting and both artist attacking each other and moment that Wazekwa refused to give Karmapa a hand during the Kora Awards of 2004. Temps d'Amour, Riposte were also succesful, but they dídn't equal the huge succes Je m'Appelle Toi had, which I don't understand. I remember that Le Millionaire had a big hype in the beginning. But that polemic with Koffi Olomide ruining everything.
It smees that Karmapa was not only Wemba's songwriter, but also that of Koffi and he contributed to the start of his career. Here he's saying that "Koffi is a big artist who did alot of things so that I become Karmapa". from 1:23 min. Which a like from Karmapa is that like Reddy Amisi, he don't like to say for who he wrote his songs when he was a ghostwriter.
