THE GRANDPA GOVERNMENT JINX: how artistes who “mess” with Grandpa Records end up losing the limelight…

#wordonthestreet

Many perceive Grandpa Records as the main recording rival to Ogopa Deejays. But both stables have been on the spot on many allegations including artiste’s exploitation among others.



Recently, one of the ‘Majirani’ duo famed for their Grandpa Records fresh release, “ivo ndo kunaendaga”, is said to be a barber in River Road, months after beefing with the CEO-Refigah.
Tom Watima aka Majirani; had alleged that the stable’s hit release of the chart topping song was his original work. But he is not the only one, many allegations have been fashioned against the recording stable by a section of break-away artiste’s and individuals.

Refigah has challenged them to come out and show proof for their claims, but the artistes chickened being quoted saying Refigah was so powerful and too close with media people that they would hardly succeed in the their quest to have their say.
But what power or jinx does Grandpa big boss Refigah have? He laughs- “I have my facts! Maybe that is why many are afraid to challenge me!”

Many artistes including Ray-C; Mr. Nice, Dogo; among others who have had beef with the stable, have had their limelight turned off instantly. Recently, last week on Grandpa’s Facebook page, the stable asked fans to pray for Mr. Nice after he was beaten up in Tanzania.
Currently, Grandpa Records remains the leading hit maker stable, enjoying mass popularity all over the region. The stable continues to recruit top artistes and upcoming talent on the pillars of a signed business contract and relationship.
