Finally for the first time i hear my beloved koffi speaking English. Never understood any of his interviews, because all I hear is french. Damn I love this man.
Good interview...very simple and thoughtful...a good interviewer is the one who pulls himself/herself away from the center of conversation..and this lady did just that....herself, and the one who interviewed President Obama (I don't if she is the same) did very well and have promising future...
I thought as much that he is part Yoruba man when I first heard his name Olomide should have been spell as olumide in the 80’s when I was a boy then watching him at weekend night in NTA 10 , Lagos Nigeria.
Koffi is not the founder of Ferre Gola. Ferre Gola was in Werrason’s band Wenge musica maison mere for a number of years. That is where he made a name for himself in the Congolese music industry. Ferre only passed by very briefly in Koffi’s band. He was not even there for a year.

Man I should've known Koffi Olomide was part Nigerian hence Olomide duhh..lmao. How did I miss that. i knew he was part Sierra Leonean bc my dad saw an interview of his maternal grandmother and she said was a Sierra Leonean.
That is Koffi for you, always confusing... When He is in Congo, He claim to be 100% Congolese...here in Kenya his Mother is a Yuruba...and in Sierra Leone you people are waiting for your lost son to come back. Lol.
@@igwechineduomego6371 naaah not really. most Sierra Leoneans don't care for Congolese music like that let alone Koffi or his music. In fact most of them don't know him and the few that do thinks his music is boring. So your way off on that assumption. But he is part Sierra Leonean tho bc that has been confirmed before
@@Adgegbe50ag I am not talking about his Music. Whether boring or not you can not deny the fact that He is The African Legend as da as music is confirmed. My Concern is about in ambiguous Identity... This interview was done in 2016.. Just yesterday Koffi was on one of the Congolese television claiming that both his parents are Congolese. Do you know that He had once claimed that his maternal uncle is a Ghanaian? So Koffi can be : - Congolese, Sierra Leonia , Ghanian, and a Nigerian. What a confusion? This makes him an impostor.
@@igwechineduomego6371 my guy you obviously didn't get what I'm saying. I can tell ur a fan or his agent..lmao🤣🤣 so I understand but geez louise 🤣🤣 some of you fans and Koffi amaze me...lmao🤣🤣. My response was mainly to "in Sierra Leone you people are waiting for your lost son to come back". and I basically responded naahh not really Sierra Leoneans ain't thinking about Koffi or his music for that matter like that and what I said is true and is relevant to this conversation. I just took a step further by talking about Sierra Leoneans not liking his or Congolese music.. I don't care if you're saying he's a legend blah blah. That's irrelevant at this point. Just b/c he claims he's part Sierra Leonean, which he is and even many other Congolese folks I know have confirmed, doesn't mean Sierra Leoneans are thirsty about wanting Koffi like a lot of you Kenyans are doing no offense.
@@igwechineduomego6371 I'm addition to his "ambiguous identity" a lot of us have been suspecting him being more than one ethnicity particularly more than one West African nation even before he started mentioning it. "Koffi Olomide"?? Come now now even tho that his stage name but there is a reason he gave himself that name. I know u fans can't be that oblivious no offense.I don't if it's bc of the language barrier or but I thought u guys would know by now.
he is a great man and a great musician its therefore its not wise for him to do that especially in public if an employee cant change when verbally advised its better to fire them than resort to violence it will ruin his lovely career
well,it hasn't .we are Africans.on the odd occasion we sometimes lash out but in terms of abusing our women,no,we dont.the reaction has been pretentious and disproportionate. i am sure Koffi has learnt a lot from that knowing what a big personality he is in Africa.
Please you should've interviewed him in French or Lingala. He is a bit struggling and not answering what he has been asked for. Other than that HE IS STILL THE KING.
Kenya Citizen TV, you should have used a journalist who knows Congolese music and history better or this journalist should have dug deeper into history before this interview. The journalist seems misinformed and was suggesting wrong statements to Koffi instead of asking questions which Koffi would have answered himself.
Listen, I thought your interview was to ask him about himself first , like, who is koffi olomide? So that people know who he is in life . We know he is , we wanted to know about him first but all you wanted to know is how it was for him to work with papa womba whatever. Please you lack interview skills
Its unfortunate. How can a celebrity like Koffi act like that in a foreign country. Am embarrassed by his action. He have to apologize to that woman for embarrassing her like that. I love Koffi and his music but i dnt condone violence especially against women.
even his music is degrading women: Would you give him the same assessment if it were your sister, daughter, mom, niece dancing as those dancers do and dress the way they do? Just a question.... my brother.
@@Crabtree1844 Sometimes,in our quest to express our fine european minds,we end up sounding like utter idiots.take your 3rd european lens off your eyes and wear your African one.
@@admiralivan9498 Did your mother tell you that I 'have been conditioned' or is it your unfounded assumption? By the way, while you are griping about that spineless man who assaults women, know that he will not play in Kenya while I have anything to do with it. You are welcome to dance to his foolishness as he plays in his mother's backyard for all I care.
Hey Citizen TV, can I fire this woman for you? She's feeding people wrong information. Tell her by force that Tanzania is not like Kenya where all the bands are foreign bands. 99.9% of our bands are ours. Ask her, why do many bands move to Kenya instead of Bongo? Simple answer is in Bongo competition is fierce, to make it here you gotta have balls and guts. Reference: Defao, Les Mangelepa, Super Mazembe, Moreno, Bana Ngenge, just a few.
He does not love the people, he loves the money he gathers from those drinking from his cup full of perversion. He is not sorry for what he did. He is sorry that he was caught.
do you think that wealth is more interesting than music if you understood koffi olomide is wealthy because he has worked hard to produce incredible music koffi olomide is the only african artists to have taken 4 awards on one night and is a genius people should know that his intelligence is far beyond theres people who have degrees in music will tell you of how technical his arrangements are the average african leader can only steal money to get goods from europe there is nothing interesting about being rich koffi olomide has created wealth through his musical talent this is not simple music like rap or reggae where you make money easily he deserves his wealth!!!!
A lot of people work very, very, very hard doing evil and there are people who drink deep from their cup of iniquity and then give them awards. They would even deem such people a, "genius." Paul Osire, I wonder: are you a Christian? Do you have sisters/nieces/aunts (any female) whom you love and want to be respected?
koffi olomide in andrada god does not need teaching. tozali biso nyoso bana zambe we are all the people of god another thing you have to understand is Kenyans do not understand the conversation that was going on between the dancers there was a fight that had started on the plane long before they got to kenya you should hear his side of the story and understand that he was thrusting his leg to stop a fight I studied music growing up and have a much better understanding of technical arrangements than the average person I defend koffi because there was a fight between his dancers that he was trying to stop it was not his intention to kick her moreover she did not complain of physical injury go and watch the video citizen weekend koffi olomide in the spot there is no way he can behave like that and not have an explanation for himself just watch the video
Paul Osire "another thing you have to understand is Kenyans do not understand the conversation that was going on between the dancers there was a fight that had started on the plane long before they got to kenya..' you presume to think and reason for Kenyans. Were you there when the fight started? Intelligent Kenyans are not interested when and where it started. We are more interested in what we saw with our undimmed eyes globally. The facts that you are bent on covering/dismissing. We heard his cheap side of the story laced with lies. Because you are defending his lies, it means you are a liar too. At this point, I think I can have a more intelligent discussion with my 7 year old than with you.

Koffi is the best ❤
Entrevista muito bem conduzida! Bravo!

Jeff Drucker the man is smart
Jeff Drucker you never watched Kora awards?
He studied. He has university diploma.
I was surprised to hear him speaking in English.
Kindly tell Koffi olomide that olomide(Olumide) means my God has come in Yoruba.
you should have asked that guy of classic radio who knows more of the music and french.
Fred Ombachi. He would have been the perfect candidate to carry out this interview TBH.
Beautiful thought

Somewhere around 1:20 the reporter says that "tcha tcho " was a hit song. When the song played was andrada.

Why???

This journalist is truly misinformed or just doesn't have her facts right. It's a pity, really.
