It clear that Sam Tshintu intoxicated the other guys by forcing him slowly out the band. That thing was happened in Brazzaville was ridiculous. I remind it only now about it, back in the days I thought that it was fake-news. Champion predicated that already from day 1 in the Droit de Veto-VHS, saying "Eloko nini ezo lakisa que oko baluka Bouro te, po Bouro aleki ye. Oko baluka pe Modogo te?". I think that it made Sam a little jealous how Wemba prefered Bouro Mpela and how he in his opinion humilated him. It smees that some feared Sam, the way Bouro talks about Mboshi when Sam was preparing a third song, while they each had to put 2 songs on Viagra.
If it was Koffi Olomide, JB Mpiana or Werrason performing at Festival des Cannes and meeting those big stars then they would have made alot of noise about it. Especially if it were the guys of the 5th generation (Fally, Heritier, Ferre & Fabregas). But Nyoka Longo stayed quite about it. Nyoka Longo's presence at Festival des Cannes could be have been a good reponse against Koffi, if they made alot of noise about it on the Congolese tv. Since that Koffi was bragging alot about his Olympia & Zenith shows of 1998 and mocking Nyoka Longo that he was local, forgetting that 90% of the public of his shows at Olympia & Zenith were African. While Nyoka perfomed at Festival des Cannes in front of a different public. Nyoka Longo missed alot of opportunity to boost his name more by staying quite about big events. He always puts Zaiko's name more on the forefront than his. There are alof of people who think that Nyoka Longo's name is Zaiko. It's crazy that they put that moment of Festival des Cannes on that moment. Because it was in the spring of 1999. I guess that they did it because of the war of fanclubs who weren't believing the their rivals did. I remember people back in the days thinking that Wemba was lying about him meeting big stars and performing with them, when he had a contract with Real World Records. But only when he died they discovered how big he actually was.
Hahaha Wendo killed me by saying "nako kota monde ya ba gorilles te". The elders didn't like ndombolo. I remember how Mbuta Likasu was jocking about how Wendo danced Kiwanzenza on a festival in Amsterdam. "Kiwanzenza ya ba nkoko".
Simaro was really angry the way Carlyto talked about OK Jazz and said things to boost his testomony even more. Alot of artists who switched to gospel back in the late 90's and early 2000's created some stories to boost their testimony more, but some admitted it later that it was fack. Alot of people don't even know that Simaro made some interviews about that with people still believing that the story about Maya was real. Someone people said to me that Carlyto stopped talking about his OK Jazz, Maya, etc. People who were following OK Jazz back in the days know that Simaro was the who recuited Carlyto and not Franco. Because Franco was at that time based in Brussels with the other musicians and he came to Zaïre he was ignoring Carlyto. Something what people of that time know, which led to his departure. But in his testimony he said that Franco recuited him. Someone said to me that Carlyto don't talk about OK Jazz, the song Maya, etc. anymore in churches.
