you see the impact of lack of communication even after the news broke,before and after the match we "won"  there has been a evergrowing running joke saying "we decided to go to sorcerer to bless congo he said bring to me something valuable,we decided to bring ferre gola,he said no thanks i cant do anything with that",do you imagine the level of  leaving space wide open exposing your weaknesses you need to have to have people peacefully running such stuff,this is a country where even petit fally got taken seriously at the end because he has some management around now,its criminal that literally like it or not the first post AFDL star we've witnessed gets reduced to such level because of  playing down everything or always thinking everything is under control
ferre should learn by now that congolese people dont rate cold confidence,somebody who just calmly takes his life whatever happens,most of us dont rate that they'd rather you look active eager to always impress and take risks and even if you fail you'll have succeeded in their eyes 8 times out of 10,even worse when you have an assigned rival,you have to be on the guy's toes constantly,especially if you are not the one who is the most media friendly
i could write for hours about my guy,heck even his looks sometimes help rivals mocking him,if i was him i would revert to braids reduce the beard a bit and wear more leather jacks and stuff like that,some some of updated version of his les marquis early quartier latin days look,back then you'd never hear so much about his height and all that because all what he wore and his demeanor with it kind of hid it,and when facing such an image driven rival such details also count

I completely agree with everything you just said. The problem with Ferre is, he got too many yes man around him and he got wayyyyyy too comfortable with his ways as an artist. All these concert venues he has played in, I can guarantee you he was not thinking about it. The pressure of his fans is what got to him….such a frustrating artist.

also he has traitors among his guys,how he's had say 10 cancelled concerts since the covid era and 10 times out of 10 its the rivals announceing it 1 week before,yeah it can be just the banter of the game,yes it can they were assured  that something was done underground to make sure what the world is about to hear happens,but ultimately it cant also be constant like that without snitch or spies on a mission
there are guys like tresor or yeleza who try their best to give the impression that they care but then their own egos strike a lot when they talk,while the mentality should be i would happily lose some influence if somebody can contribute to taking us to a bigger place,imagine badiata alain nzambe and co had managed to absorb fally's ambition to block the way for manon or all those guys since the universal and elektra opportunities,fally maybe would have performed at martyrs way earlier  and him and ferre continuing the blueprint of jb werra rivalry with fikin and martyrs at the heart of the project
look how much the perception of dilaso has changed because there is an atmosphere of we'll push together and live a part of the dreams of the boss  while he literally started as "dit kende payeler nga lipa na saucisson"

Would it make sense for Ferre to release code 16 now or should he wait?
I remenber last year did Ndombolinho post that Ferre got a lot of things planned for this year and in June we only got Bercy.
Beside his rival, did 2 days stade de france, released a world album, will release a rumba album and O2 Arena in UK

Remember the charisma of the Avant Gout Boite/Noire days! Even (what I think was his best period) the SDM period. He had unreal aura in that period. I like to call it the Ferre rockstar era. I’m sure he got tips from LaPaja but hey 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don’t think Ferre’s interested as much. He’s just staying somewhat relevant because of the large fan base. He probably feels like he’s completed it all with the arenas, SDM & consecutive rumba classics. He gave a cryptic message about this in one of his interviews recently.

Maybe he’s planning to come back with Code 16 but I know my guy too well 😂 there’ll be hits in that album and he’ll come out aggressively but then go back to hiding when he has the opportunity to explode

While Ferre struggles to get his London concert going, Fally is about to announce 2nd date for OVO…levels 🤦🏾‍♂️

That's why Fally is the best

While Ferre struggles to get his London concert going, Fally is about to announce 2nd date for OVO…levels 🤦🏾‍♂️

there might be that ebola thing some of the ferre guys are trying to defend with but this is why organisation and anticipation is key,pretty much every thing which includes legal stuff has loopholes to exploit in case,i am sure the fally admins alredy secured the visas way before these issues,or even if there is those issues they paid lawyers to find loopholes and alternatives,because they have that mindset that nothing will step in their way to
this is why the way there is so often start and stop in ferre's schedule goes against him because if he was accepting those "building bridges" contracts in order to perform more often he'd be used already to having for example january to april fully set  and a big event say in june so by then he'd have made sure there is no interference between his tour and handing passports to maison schengen and co which can sometime take days and weeks of treatment/the dark arts behind the scenes because of rivalries
even back in the old format of "improvised administration",you always had to have a step ahead because of the competition,its not rocket science how those perceived as the best in the last 30 years( K W F lol )were those who'd always find solutions no matter what (until some drastic stuff like the dancers things stepped in,or bokul's ngulu affair )
