Bivens Bienvenue (Aka sosie de Ekokota) &  Jean-Louis Manzungidi

Exactly they left because they were treated like dirt by Koffi.Lebou and Somono came with that idea after the recording of Droit De Veto and the zenith concert (why Somono wasn't in Olympia ?). They asked  Sam,Babia,Bouro and Modogo to join them only Babia refuses and he go tell Koffi about that but Koffi didn't trust him. In January 1999 when he was time to go back to Kinshasa he realise that many musicians were absent and that it was true.By the way is it true that Suzuki letf before the Olympia show because of the arrival of Depitcho ? . Passe Kosse said that in a 2000 interview.

I wouldn't say treated like dirt - they saw zero growth potential for themselves if they were to remain in QL, especially as Koffi himself had reached new heights of success. Koffi was paying the artists the same salaries over the years, whilst evidently being a millionaire.   

Somono missed Olympia because of throat/voice issues.

Depitsho played a indirect role in the break up of QL because of the big preferential treatment he got upon his arrival because of being an established figure in El Paris and skilled dancing despite his, frankly, below average singing abilities. This of course infuriated established members.

Big rifts occurred in mid-98 with Suzuki because he felt his passport and visa were tampered with after the Kenya tour and before the European tour. That's the official cause of departure. He even tried to unsuccessfully sue early 1999. Then JB Mpiana came knocking with a BCBG opportunity.

Montana actually joined QL after releasing a solo album "Millennium 2000", whic was a  failure due to poor promotion. He was in dire straits after investing money in studio for that album.

Montana easied into QL despite his experience as Defao's Chef d'orchestre because of his big humor. He was one of the jokesters at concerts and behind the scenes. Unlike the others, he just sought to be a member and not immediately rise in ranks.

Being in QL was huge upgrade salary and lifestyle wise because Defao treated all the Big Stars members like second-class, even third-class citizens as my friend Bob White told me and revealed in his book. He's famous for being the first white member of a modern Congolese band and spent a bit of time in Big Stars.

You're correct, Suzuki received an invitation to participate at Zenith. His ex-boss wasn't thrilled to hear that.
