The problem with this kind of polemic is that the issues get muddled up. We are now focussing on who performed where,who has the most fans ,who is better etc.why can't we focus on the real issue...now if I may ask what is the issue ....really!
Mpiana is very junior to Koffi in all senses, he only has two successful albums under his belt, and those are Feux D amour and TH, while Koffi has numerous successful albums over the years
the real issue is that jb was asked if he was a "patron" since there is many signs of his wealth,jb answered none of them artists of the current time are "patrons"(boss),and the one who could be truly called a boss was papa verckys who had studios,paid instruments for groups,created many groups and so on...koffi who was labelled " patron des musiciens congolais" 6 years in the testament of later grand hotel owner papa bob mundabi,gets irritated anytime a musician mentions the name 'patron" without alluding to him as "the patron of congolese musicians",as he takes papa mundabi's words for gospel truth and anybody who does not respect that is nothing but a hater
