Babia Ndonga went to far by insulting Rosette Kamono, calling her "soulard". He was really rude in that video. This interview and the interview the week before it where he also attacked Kamono and Willy Bula, was a turning point in Babia's career. He went from being a loved musician to being one of the most hated. Alot music-fans were dissapointed, because of his behaviour. Many were waiting for his return after the 1995-tour since that he wasn't there when Magie was promoted in Kinshasa, while his song Amen was one of the biggest hits. Babia was along with Manda Chante those who revolutioned the singing-section in the music-industry, with many wanting copy and sing high like Babia Ndonga or Manda Chante. The video didn't end the way. I think that it got damaged towards the end. Adamo and getting really mad.
Willy Bula left, when Koffi left him behind for that 1995-tour and I don't remember if he joined another band, like Do Akongo and Eric Tutsi used to do often when they were left behind, but what I know was that during that time he used to give workshops in Bandalungwa with guys like Bouro Mpela, Fally Ipupa, Jordan Kusa and co coming. He left really humilated because Koffi gave him the impression that he would go to Europe and he gave all his clothes away, until that they arrived at Beach Ngobila and him getting informed that he would not go to Europe. Like many who come in that situations, Willy lost alot weight. Its only a few weeks after Koffi's return, that Willy returned, because Koffi sended people to get him to his house. Suzuki could also have returned back in 1999, when Academia was made, but he refused. Babia was here making fun of Willy, but his own situation in 1997 was worser than that and tried even to commit suicide.

I don't understand what went wrong between Koffi and Willy. Some say it was a dancer, some say he got big headed, what do you think happened?
