jb's logic is simple,pay him his money he'll perform and do the bare minimum in terms of communication and its 99 per cent up to you to promote,which he also does for his career overall anyways,he struggle to accept that the industry has massively changed he could afford doing that in 90's because simon would make sure the cassettes and so on would cover central western and austral africa and there was outrageous domination of our music and his immense aura of then would do the work to drag people to concerts,now even the biggest artists of recent years have to be at the center of their promotion since this era is an all time high image driven one
but he does not want to accept this and falls out with producers and promoters for fun and uses the fact they owe him a rest of payment for example to justify the fallout
the infuriating thing is that even if he wanted to do the minimum he can create a structure to work for him or even the hundreds of promotion pages,but there strikes another part of him which sees "intensive promotion" as "forcing things" or "losing your head over one concert"
all the criticism we've had against him lies here,man wants to have a lokua kanza like peaceful end of career while he is working in an industry where as long as he breathes he is under scrutiny
