Eddy Kenzo has been eating the fruit of Gasha’s labor for close to a decade and this has to stop!!
Cameroonian singer GASHA and Eddy Kenzo collaborated in 2015 on the #chill hit song. Eddy Kenzo demanded $1000 for the collabo and Gasha paid. After recording the song, Eddy Kenzo said Gasha can buy his voice, rights and everything about the song for another $1000. Gasha and team agreed, paid everything in America.
They recorded the song, produced the video and had a mutual understanding to upload it on Kenzo's YouTube channel since he had a bigger audience.
It's been 9 years since the song was uploaded, it has recorded 5.1M YouTube views but Gasha has never seen a dime from it.
The most painful part of it is that Eddy Kenzo claimed ownership of the song and uploaded it on all his streaming platforms. He went as far as including it in his album and has been making millions of it.
Gasha complained and they did nothing about it. They've never gotten back to Gasha with stats or ROI of the project.
I believe this is disrespect and theft. Theft and disrespect not only to Gasha but Cameroon as well. We have that responsibility to defend and fight for our own. This fight is also for the respect of our country.
Cameroonians has taken it upon them to see to that this Eddy Kenzo gives back gasha's royalty back, and also give to gasha what he owes her,
I call on all platforms, influencers, media personalities, every Cameroonian to use their influence in making Eddy Kenzo comply or exposed since they've ignored Gasha for 9 years now. GASHA deserves what Eddy Kenzo has been sitting on for 9 years. Let's make this happen.
After Itz Ode A Cameroonian Blogger texted Eddy Kenzo telling him to give GASHA her royalties on her song #Chill, his team reach out to me on WhatsApp and this is what they got to say 👇
"It was around 2014 or 2015(the prime times of Sitya Loss) when Eddy Kenzo met a young and talented Cameroonian lady called Gasha, her team approached him and requested that they should do a song which was agreed upon. However he was in dallas where he had to fly from to Washington for the recording, we extended his stay and the $1k her and the team paid that we hear in the accusations was for the extension of his flight because his return back home was due (he definitely had to push his stay for a sister), obviously there’s no agreement that involves money that can go undocumented, the 1k was to pay for the extension of Eddy Kenzo’s stay and for your information Eddy Kenzo’s brand was never worth 1k. Long story short, they hit the studio, vibes were high and a song called chill was created. Everyone wrote their lyrics and joined the knowledge to make sure we put out something nice that can help boost Gasha’s career.
In 2015 our team and our manager who doubles as a videographer, flew to Cameroon(at our own cost) to shoot the Chill video which was shot and directed by our manager(Martin Beta) and Chuzzi Dadido of Cameroon it was all good vibes and later that evening as we were all vibing to the song at Gasha’s home we talked about how the song will be released and it was agreed that since Eddy Kenzo has a big fanbase(numbers) this song should be released on his channel on 25th feb, 2015 and later on then coming album called Zero To Hero(which was released on 1st march, 2016) a year after she had distributed on her other streaming platforms(her release date is 3rd March 2015), we did so with one heart all in the name of helping a sister.
We had a great evening as a family and we called it a night. On our return to Uganda our manager went back with the footage we had shot and edited the video(it was all for brotherhood he wasn’t paid) we made sure it was the right video of that time and released it as agreed.
We thank God that it actually made an impact in Gasha’s career as it was the motive of the song.
It is so sad this was a verbal agreement and today it looks like her word against ours , it is now that we wish we had a written agreement.
We have been following accusations for the past 1 year and kept quiet because we thought our sister knows the truth and that all will be well and there was no need for any exchange of words, but it seems we were wrong.
However, this is all we have to say about this project and we maintain our position that we ain’t gonna exchange any words with a sister over a project that came to life with the aim of boosting a career. And we shall not fall for any blackmails attached to the accusations.
