Wisdom, that’s why I distanced myself. He needs to stop using people as crutches because that’s how he allows them to use him. He’s a grown man now and he has a family to raise. He must stand on his own two feet and raise his family. He must be honest with himself in life as he is in his music!

Bro that just hit home with me too.

That was a very deep conversation you had there with Kwesta Bra Slikour. I think it was very much needed for Kwesta. I am not wishing to voice out what I could gather from the convo, but I want to say this: How I wish the same support that was offered to Kwesta was also offered to Makwa as it is also much needed for Makwa too. For whatever reasons, somehow Kwesta became the victim of Lavida and Bara, exactly the same way Makwa became the victim of the whole 3. The situation Makwa is currently in is actually dire and there is no doubt that Makwa is as important to the industry as Kwesta is, they carry the same community burden. Kwesta somehow localized Hip Hop, just like ProKid, he made every little Kasi kid believe that exactly the way they are, they are enough, they do not need to speak English with an accent to be top rappers, that's what Makwa is: Makwa is proving to everyone that talent cannot be bought, you are just born with it. The work Makwa is doing in that Mzonkonko Records is testament on its own. Kwesta himself knows how import Makwa was/is in his music, and I think it is fair that the same support we are rightly giving to Kwesta, is the one we should also be giving Makwa.

If it wasn't for Kwesta's talent/blessing, all this drama wouldn't be transpiring. Shout out to Slikour for being the don

Big up to Kwesta for being man enough to admit his flaws and lack of interest in the business of his artistry... Chin up King you got family out here!!! let bad business be a thing of the past

This is sad. I wish all these great black men get a good resolution from this. It’s just the curse of informality in small businesses. It ruins the best of us. Stay strong Kwesta.

Yoh the level of accountability in Kwesta is of a high level leader... much respect to that champ... He just needs to remind the ushers he's the pastor of he's church...

i felt kwesta needed this more than all the interviews he's been on - he got what he needed, that Slikour big bro talk - i felt it.

Never got to sit down with my dad and had a deep talk but listening to Siya talk to Kwesta like that, just reminded me that the person who helped give birth to you is not your only dad💯

Slikour you've grown soo much yourself my brother, this interview speaks volumes and I could see how emotional you became rightfully so,. I wish everyone involved can see the bigger picture and understand that we can't let such a talent like Kwesta go to waste..sometimes we loose friends because they have served a certain purpose in our lives, but we must just be grateful for the lessons.

I hope and pray that the last part of this interview becomes an INTRO for Kwesta's next album.

This is the second time hearing Kwest's side of the story and picked up the following : 1. Allowing Urbantainment to broker the deal with Sony on his behalf while not owing the company was a big mistake. It, unfortunately, gives Nota a leg to stand on because his company was used to broker the deal. 2. The salary system doesn't work for showbiz, it will much simpler if people get paid as they perform or work. 3. These guys must just let this beef go and continue with their careers. They all made mistakes and mustn't let that define the rest of their journies. 4. Nota appears to be the one person that keeps fueling this beef on social media maybe because he feels entitled to certain things, but he keeps damaging his reputation in the process

at least you have learn..start your own thing we will continue to support you...

Senzo made a lot of mistakes and he’s human, we all do. He blind sided himself on a lot of things and trusted everyone, that’s why things led to this. I respect the fact that he’s owning up to it by firstly realizing he wasn’t 100% much in the administration. The people he trusted to sort it out decided to be greedy and with a lot of trickery. Siya thanks for sitting down with the gent and letting him pour out, and for also giving him brotherly advice on this industry. It was deep but pretty much necessary. Much respect and love 👊🏾

What a touching story, a lack of company structure is the reason for the collapse. Wish these guys could fix this or resolve the problem and continue with their solo craft. G. O. D guluva is a hit.

Kwesta has charisma & remarkable poise
