Kenyan singer Queen Marie J claims she paid Rayvanny for a collabo, then he disappeared
Kenyan artist Queen Marie J, real name Marie
Njoroge, now claims her collaboration with Tanzanian singer Rayvanny fell
through because he allegedly violated the terms of their agreement.
Marie J said she communicated with Rayvanny via WhatsApp, and that he had agreed to help
her raise her career profile by working with her.
She also claimed Rayvanny would often ask her for money and she would always oblige, only for him to later disappear into thin
air.
“Rayvanny from Tanzania breached the
agreement terms we had of working on a collaboration even after all the
production costs were made,” she told Pulse newspaper in an interview.
“He requested that if I give him an amount of
money he would help me to shine up all the way up within a short period of time
so we agreed and I was sending money to him anytime he requested.”
She added that the collaboration with the
former Wasafi Records signee was initially supposed to be released in 2020.
However, she alleged, Rayvanny later blocked
her on all platforms, only floating to her an excuse that “kuna mambo yametokea”
with no other clarification whatsoever, leaving the project hanging in the
balance.
Queen Marie J is however still optimistic
that the collaboration with Rayvanny would come to fruiting, saying maybe it
was stifled by his former record label but that since he left and is now on his
own, they could possibly resurrect it.
“He was supposed to help me personally but
since he has left his previous label it would be easier to work with him, so I
hope for the best. Probably the problem was his label then,” she said.
