| Mseto East Africa presenter Willy M Tuva |
By Mkikuyu Mjaka
I have said it time and again that nothing hidden under the sun in the name of showbiz artifacts can skip our ears.My team embarks on a two weeks investigation on what seems to be a mega fallout between Gimochiek and Mit Ka Donjo hitmaker Dogo Ateeh and his Chuo Records counterpart Producer GKV who also happens to be a rapper too.Our eyes are also rooted to the social media posts and interactions of promising Ghipuka artiste Balulu and the self proclaimed King Lang.11th of January one popular blog known as Updates Kenya is running a very interesting story about Kisumu artiste Balulu and his musical Journey .An article who's tittle depicts a lot of pettiness in it.
Come January 13th Dogo Ateeh decides to announce his intentions to release Mit Ka Donjo Remix soon enough and in his list of artistes lined up for the remix, GKV is missing.We then call up the rapper to find out why ? And turns out the two have bad blood already.In a phone call conversation with Bonyeza Star , Dogo Ateeh narrates how filthy Chuo Records is, terming the C.E.O as a corn.He begins

" Working with GKV on Mit Ka Donjo was sweet at the beginning .Soon after the audio had been released he started milking money from me in the name of settling bills for video expenses.I sent him the first Ksh15,000 to book the venue for our shoot only to be told later that out shoot had been cancelled and postponed for another day.Later I sent him another 15,000 and this time he booked the space yes but
ended up introducing two other shooting sessions with different artistes ,a move which we had not agreed on at the beginning.Being a white screen video ,the shoot was done very hurriedly and unprofessionally.Coming to the editing ,anyone who has watched the video can attest to the fact that GKV enjoys more than 80 percent appearance and close range shots unlike my shoddily done scenes. Finally the video was released and it reached a point we were supposed to launch the song with the help of Mseto East Africa presenter Willy M Tuva.I don't deny GKV and Tuva have been friends for a while hence it was easier to secure the interview.It's however sad to mention that GKV went ahead still to claim that Tuva is asking for Ksh 5000 to have the video launched yet the last time I checked Tuva cleared the air that Mseto does not charge for release and airplay.Weather Tuva received the money or not,I don't know .After dishing out the 5K to him he shameless went ahead to launch the video on Mseto himself without involving me .In short GKV decided to use me as a Money milking machine and it is for the same reason that I decided to leave him out on the remix.About why he is using Balulu story to brew beef between us,I think that is very childish.

The article by Update Kenya is very shallow and up for no good motive. GKV is not going to be on Mit Ka Donjo Remix final."
GKV however on the other hand seems to be using Balulu to hit back at Dogo Ateeh and other artistes rebellious to his label and to justify his actions which is in deed very unprofessional.At Bonyeza Star we do not propagate beef but say things as they are. This article by updates Kenya comes after Balulu has just released yet another new song with GKV hence after screening the purported coached interview we get a reason to make another call to Lang Katalang.Reason being we all knew Balulu as a former student of King Lang lyrically .

At some point fans even claimed they sounded the same in the song Gonga Wall. The Luo Flow and Genge rapper however decides to be very careful with his words so as not to send mixed signals.
" I did go through the story by updates Kenya concerning Balulu after you sent it to me .What I want to put across is that I might not have much to say about GKV or Chuo records since I have never worked with that hommie before but then speaking of Balulu I think the interview is only 40 percent himself and the rest appears cooked by a second party.A few vital things have been omitted that is. In a nutshell I groomed Balulu into what he is today and I will never regret about it.Gonga Wall is a song I personally monitored from the onset to the last bit of it .Introduced him to Batoz and Trey Juelz because I wanted the best fro the song hence it would have been wise enough to mention the other two guyz on the song,Critical Kondishon and I .Where I come from we call it credits ! Hahaha! (He laughs) .I mean Balulu is an independent artiste and remember there is a swahili saying that goes 'tenda wema nenda zako' .Siezimfunga hata kama nilimsaidia ku-rise .Its a requirement by the music copyright laws to have all participants of a particular intellectuall property represented in any platform you end up on based on a collaboration . No hard feelings all am insisting on is that GKV should desist from brewing beef among Nyanza Artistes in the name of gaining publicity through dubious means.I still love Balulu as a brother much as GKV and I have bad blood but that is a story for another day.Ni ukweli nimekubali kueka verse kwa Mit Ka Donjo Remix after receiving a call from Dogo Ateeh and this has nothing to do with Chuo records.Nimeskia tu fununu the remix itafanywa Hela Records kwa Visita .Tuendelee na kazi sina shida na mtu.Ninachokiomba ni umoja kati yetu kama wasanii",explained King Lang'
Meanwhile lets wait and see if GKV will accept or deny these allegations.
