EMO and CMPRINCE, my only point is that whether we keep trashing JB and his dead wood here, nothing will change so sometimes we should just ignore or rather comment on the positive things we see in the video but hey, it's democracy, if people want to trash JB every minute am fine with it.
The fact that I like JB does not mean i like the way he handles his career, if i was JB's manager or close friend i would have used Werrason's traditional ways of kicking out those guys who don't want to leave but who knows, maybe they are more than his staff and friends,some could be distant relatives so he finds himself in a tight corner so until they leave on their own or they mess up, we are yet to see more of them and am not happy about that either but i can't do fuckall about it, it's JB's problem.

I like JB too even though when wenge split I sided with werra and followed maison mere i still did keep up to date with bcbg but then i stopped following them for a few years and i was surprised to see that kibens, rio, genta and others were still in the band haha

For me, JB Mpiana and Ferre are my top favoured stars but that doesn't mean i like all their music, there are particular songs i skip from their albums and it is the same for other artists' music too. There was a time when i never appreciated Fally so i was always critical but then i realised that i was just being foolish, he had his own fans he was pleasing with the sort of music he does,i still kept following Fally then i realised how unique he is so now he's one of my favourites, i skip some of his songs too.

Coming back to the likes of Kibens and company,i respect Kibens because i know he's been there for JB Mpiana and other clan Wenge senior musicians from way back, the man is not the best looking guy and his dancing and singing has no wow factor but this is the guy that has helped JB Mpiana with music composition and arrangement for decades so i ask myself, why should JB Mpiana just kick him out for no apparent reason? Do we know if Kibens actually has a written contract and wouldn't he sue JB for wrongful dismissal if fired without reasonable cause. The likes of Rio and others are also average but they've been loyal moreover, things changed from the album Quel est ton problem when JB Mpiana decided to fuse the reserve band PPU with the main band BCBG and just remain with a reserve band which is more less like a music academy were new recruits who show some signs of being good in future so the young musicians like Abraham and others are sharing the limelight with the likes of Rio and Kibens, look at Abraham for instance, he's been given permission and resources by JB Mpiana to release an album, why didn't JB Mpiana do it for Rio, Kibens or JDL,why did he pick Abraham?  JB may be lazy but he knows what he's doing. Those old guys will not be around for a long time,there time will come to move on. I was watching an interview of Rio, he said when his time comes,he'll not join another band, he will be doing other things.

Sly.....i doubt whether kibense or rio has signed a pact with jb that makes jb to avoid giving them retirement letters. Bcbg cant be that different from QL or Maison mere. The point is jb mpiana has no 'balls' to get rid of them directly not even indirect. Secondly , jb has no motivation to kick them out since he is no longer in competition with anyone musically. Believe me, if jb had a serious rival in music and music was his food, which is no longer the case, he probably would have did something to kick them out today. And i forgot one thing, he is not innovative.

I have given different probable reasons as to why JB has not kicked them out ,the major one being that they have not done anything wrong so where does he start from? He's got a different management style, he's not like Werrason who let's fans choose who should go or not and pits his musicians against each other on stage. Yes, Werrason wants the best out of his musicians and clearly it's for a reason, it's the youngsters who make him who he is whilst it's different for JB who is the focus.
Yes, your reason above is correct too.
