Controversy after Papa Dennis´s former ´boss´ failed to show up at his burial

The CEO of Maliza Umaskini Records – Papa Dennis previous music label – failed to show up at the artist´s funeral, raising eyebrows.

Papa Dennis was signed at Maliza Umaskini Records, under the stewardship of Sadat Muhindi before his contract termination early last year.

Where Ringtone is, there is a guarantee of controversy. According to the gospel singer, Mr Sadat was busy taking a flight to Dubai.

Disclosing this during Papa´s funeral, Ringtone bashed:

Sadat posted a photo on social media on his way to Dubai. He did not attend Papa Dennis´ send off and when we set a meeting to contribute money for Dennis´ send off. He said the hotel where we were was too filthy for him. So he left to plan his own funeral committee only to bring back Ksh 6,000.

Sadat´s PA

However, in a new twist, the CEO´s former PA and confidant, Kevin Kapsul, trashed the reports by Ringtone.

Kevin failed to understand how an artist like Ringtone would actually take lead in Papa Dennis burial arrangements, just to stir controversy.

Some people took advantage of the situation [Papa Dennis´ death] especially his opponents and some few people in the music industry. They were trying to twist things so that he could be heckled.

In his interview with Mpasho, the PA revealed that Sadat, despite hailing from the area where Papa was buried, stayed away to avoid any drama.

That is his hometown. He vied there and is loved by many there. Due to respect he has for his people, he decided it was better for him not to attend so as to avoid unnecessary drama and confrontation.
