The story about the ngulu who paid 4000 dollars shocked me. Not that he travalled with Beniko's passeport, but that
Koffi advised him to seek asylum on Beniko's name and marry in Brussels. Maybe it explains why Do Akongo struggeld to get in Europe for like 12 years, despite all money and support. I always thought that Koffi was never bringing ngulu's to Europe. There was a moment that people said that he became an adviser at the embassy of France in 2002 and Congolese bandleaders claiming that he was snitching on them for brining ngulu's and trying to block tours of his rivals, when being asked by the embassy if the band was credible to travel in Europe.

Lol, Academia really thought that they would finish Koffi with Viagra.Thinking that he would have the same effect Sanction had on Attentat. They didn't knew that Effrakata would eat them raw.It's crazy that people always thought that Koffi would go down because of his behaviour and all beefs he had, but he always managed to survive.

Mboshi is here already promoting the Olympia of 2002 that never came. So sad that they didn’t got the chance to perform there.

Pathy's claims about the arrangement of Quartier Latin not being anymore like it had to and comparing to it to streets, reminds me how people used to critize Attentat very hard and praising Academia's work of Sanction, calling Attentat a big fiasco and doubting if Koffi would fill Bercy with a work like that. But if you put today a poll of Attentat vs Sanction on social media, most will vote for Attentat. Force de Frappe and Effrakata made Koffi earn respect again after Droit de Veto  & Attenat for were not really respected and so/so.

Lol, Suzuki sayng that he don't see himself rejoining Quartier Latin, because he just bought a villa in Mont-Ngafula, Koffi only being able to buy cars. Suzuki says her that Bouro abandoned his wife and daugther to rejoin Quartier Latin. But it's known that musicians always spent 9/7 months in Kinshasa because of their work, but still being in contact with their wive and children based in Europe. Or did Bouro really abanoned them and cut contacts ? Anyways Bouro lost alot credibility when rejoining Quartier Latin, he had alot of succes (2000-2004) like his first period in Quartier Latin (1996-1999), but people weren't taking him serious anymore.

I love Viagra but Effrakata is miles better than Viagra it's not even close. The conflict could've been worse if Tonton Lay participated in Effrakata if it wasn't for Sam dragging him back to Academia. Lmao Suzuki talking about his Villa but he didn't even return with rest in 2001.
Bouro still had his power and credibility when he returned in 2000, I remember in his first few concerts back people kept requesting him to do his solo dances and also in the Force de frappe clips people were excited to see him back with Koffi, it was in 2006 when he returned that finished him.

With credibility I meant the image people have for someone  to become a bandleader tomorrow. Bouro had still the fame he had and maybe even more than his first period. But it was not that music-fans were seeing him like his brother Alain Mpela, Bendoson (before returning to Wemba 2002), Sam Tshitu or Ferre Gola, to lead a band in the future. He messed that respect up by returning to Quartier Latin.

I'll never understand how Alain Mpela never took off as a solo artist, I've never seen a chef d'orchestra with his level of public notoriety and talent! He had an EP and a band after leaving JB Mpiana, but I don't understand why it never materialized into a successful solo career. Where did he go wrong? If I'm not mistaken, even Koffi was supportive of his departure from Wenge BCBG

Is it safe to say that Koffi and Beniko will never be friends again? It seems like Koffi is the common denominator in a lot of conflicts and cold relationships. The JB Mpiana, Werrason, and many others seem to keep their distance because of the mind games he likes to play but then will act he doesn't understand why there's no unity.

Koffi tried for 20 years to reconcile with him through their common friends, but Beniko’s kept refusing through the years. It’s Koffi who often start those conflicts with other bandleaders , but him then ending up by playing the victim when the conflict comes on another level.

Beniko did explain why he has no interest reconciling with Koffi. In that sense, Beniko is right with his critique about Koffi. Koffi refuses to acknowledge his wrongdoings. That is why Beniko refuses to reconcile with Koffi. Sadly Beniko is right to do so. He values himself.

2:00:45-2:04:12
He makes me laugh when he says "Moto ya ndenge nini wana". Boy was that a good dig at Koffi Olomide.

What happened with Suzuki after Viagra ? He didn't return to Kinshasa until 2006 right ?
