Bongo flava star Alikiba has fired his manager Esi Mgimba popularly as Esilovey, in just under nine months after she joined the King Kiba’s , Kings music Record Label.
The artist confirmed to have parted ways with the manager via Tanzania’s Clouds FM and said the decision was reached following “some misunderstanding with the management.”
“It is true I no longer work together but this is all about reorganization of our operations. She has been of immense value to our company at the beginning but some problems occurred coupled with some misunderstanding with the management and we thought it wise to have her removed,” explained the artist.
This is the second time King Kiba has found himself wading through troubled waters with his manager after his working relation’s with his previous manager Seven Mosha also went south.
But the singer who is currently rocking the airwaves and jamming the Youtube trends with his latest single Dodo, produced and released under the management of Esilovey has cited lacking in experience as part of Esilovey’s undoing.
Produced at Kings Music Records, Dodo in which King Kiba has uniquely featured one of his fiercest rival Diamond Platinumz’s ex- girlfriends and Baby Mamas- Hamisa Mobeto as a lead vixen is currently tracking at 6.8 million views on YouTube in two months.
The creative inclusion of Mobeto in the song was seen as a clever jab by the Kings Music boss towards Diamond considering the song depicts pampering a beautiful woman, well raised and ready for marriage, yet this is the complete opposite of what Mobeto got from Diamond.
As to whether Esilovey has left a void, King Kiba is optimistic that the manager’s exit will not in any way paralyze the daily running of operations at Rockstar4000 which he hailed as an unwavering record label laden with abled hands.
“it is true Esi loved her job but she had no experience… most of the time she relied on Charlie for guidance… I think this is an opportunity for her to take time and polish her trade so that she gains enough experience,” explained the Kadogo hit maker who hailed Esilovey as “a manager with amazing industry.”
On her part, Esilovey declined to engage on the details and instead directed all enquiries to her former boss.
