Crystal opens up about exiting Sol Generation

Speaking about her exit from Sol Generation; Ms Crystal told K24’s Chit Chat hosts that she had no idea why the management kicked her out! She said;

Back in November they told me that they wanted me to leave, they don’t want me to be in the group anymore and so I left. That’s literally the beginning and the end of the story.

Bien on the other hand revealed that they had a few issues here and there; making it hard to work with the female singer.

We are not working with crystal anymore and this came with a lot of complications. It was an amicable break and we are glad we gave her a platform.

Well it could be that both Crystal and Kaskazini couldn’t deliver the type of vibe Sauti Sol delivers in their songs; therefore making it hard to continue investing in the two.

However Nviiri and Bensoul continue to make headlines thanks to their addictive vocal cords and catchy lyrics!
