For years, Kid Kora, Mejja, and Madtraxx have been entertaining their fans collectively under The Kansoul banner for 7 years straight before he suddenly left the group unceremoniously.

The kid brother to former Necessary Noize founder, Bamzigi left the group officially back in 2019 without telling the fans what had made him leave the group that he helped become what it was before the eyes of the fans.

“Thank you red Republik, and thank you to the kansoul. It’s been an amazing journey. On to a new musical adventure. #kidkayoclock” Kid Kora told his fans for the first time about leaving the Genge cum Gengetone group.

Kid Kora who seemed to have dropped the first name to his moniker, kid, to stick with Kora disclosed some details that fans didn’t know anything about, at all.

Taking to social media to address the fallout for the very first, the 34-year-old rapper and certified record producer bashed his former group members for not changing the content of the music they were putting out.

Kora who revealed that Mejja and Madtraxx were constantly taking advantage of him despite considering them friends and trustees said that he suggested to the group to release songs that don’t demean women, glorify sex, or perpetuating the constant party life each and every time on their record.

Mejja and Madtraxx defying his suggestion of changing their content made the rapper leave the group behind, which admittedly seems to be the best decision he’s ever made, he stressed.

Kora also disclosed that the two artistes who he once considered musical brothers maliciously blocked him from receiving royalties from the projects he helped put out in the past 7 years despite him being in need of money to take care of his child’s school fees.

Kid Kora says leaving the group has helped him become a better man, he even confessed that leaving behind the group that he helped co-found a few years ago has been a blessing in disguise.

Kora has since put on some weight, his confidence shot to the roof, and he’s enjoying how his skin is glowing and his hair growing.

He’s happy he left everything he deems negative energy back in 2019 but most importantly and this is key, Kora demands to be paid and he’s not playing about it.

“Am about to catch Takeshi syndrome in this [expletive]. I became the bad guy when I stood for myself and my attitude flipped the switch.” Kora warned, adding, “Ma fans wakiuliza “Mbona umekonda na wakona vitambi”? niju chakula ni ya watu watatu na sahani ni mbili. Scorpios don’t call it revenge, we call it returning the favour with interest”

Kid Kora spoke his truth and left it there, he said that he won’t push for the payment of the money owed to him, he’ll leave it to karma.

Kora wrote:

“Funny how I left this group and everything toxic in my life… then things changed for me. Started putting on some weight. Confidence is through the roof. Hair growing skin glowing.

Left all this [expletive] in 2019 only to wake up this morning to find out people I called family took advantage of my kindness.

But am not the same kid from 2019, man’s been through the fire. I speak up now. I walk with a skip in my step and stand tall. Don’t let the RnB [expletive] fool you. John Snow is back from the dead. A bad queen on my side ready to take on all these [expletive] blue-eyed vultures. Pay me.

After 6 years of doing the same songs. Talking about the same hogwash on every single track. I felt the music was becoming repetitive. I pleaded for a new direction, something with a little more substance that doesn’t degrade the women we call mother, sister, and daughters.

Music that best fitted our age and reality at that moment.

34 years old with kids and a wife talking about how many girls you can beba. Talking about clubs but you sleepy AF by 11 pm. back is in pain trying to play a young man’s game.

Just wasn’t for me anymore and that’s the only reason why I left. For a new direction for my music, for my health, mental and physical and for my peace.

No bad blad. You do you. Ama do me. Moved on but find out y’all played me in a time when I was in the trenches. Son been locked out of school. I let karma get you.

My peace is way more valuable than the money owed. May the love flow”
