The Last Time MCSK Gave Me Money Was in 2006, Aging Popular Artist Laments.

The money situation of local artists is alarming especially with the new expose that MCSK was fleecing Kenyan artists of their hard earned monies. 

 Elani exposed the down with the music regulatory board saying that they had received only 30k for all the work they’d put in releasing chart-topping jams. That was not all, Avril Kenya also revealed that she had received only four thousand shillings as royalties for her music. 

What happens to all the money gathered from clubs, music shops and matatu’s?  That is a question that everyone wants answers for. 

Earlier today, in a meeting officiated by Johnson Sakaja at the Kenya National Theater veteran vernacular singer Joseph Kamaru dropped a bombshell when he said that the last time he received any money from MCSK was in 2006! Ten years ago!!
