Is the famous Gengetone music group Sailors Gang coming to an end?
Just late last year, Media personality Mwalimu Rachel issued a statement indicating that she would no longer be booking Gengetone artistes Sailors for any gigs.
In a post shared on her Instagram in November last year, Mwalimu Rachel said she will instead focus on introducing new talents through her company MRX Media.
According to the radio presenter, her company had overseen the growth of the group from onscurity to their current nationwide popularity.
Rachel went on to add that she was pleased with the work her team at MRX did to grow the Sailors brand.
And just a few months later, one of the members of the music group has announced that he was leaving the group to join the Gospel industry.
In an emotional message on his Instagram page, Lexxy Yung has announced that he will be seeking salvation in the gospel industry.
Lexxy however maintained that there was no love lost with the other group members who include Miracle Baby, Shalkido African Boy, Qoqosjuma and Masilver.
“Am sorry mabro for this..And it’s with many tears Bana ..tumekuwa pamoja have done alot and achieve alot mih l wish you all best in your journey.Mih nmeamua to take on gospel industry promise sitawainamisha uko. And promise to always have your backs GOSPEL ARTISTS HERE I COME,” Lexxy Yung posted.
Last year, Mwalimu Rachel also emotionally responded to accusations of denying Sailors their YouTube channel, which had all their previous songs and millions of video views.
The Wamlambez hit makers revealed that she had demanded more than Sh1.5 million from the group before she could release the passwords, an allegation she did not deny, saying the group and their current handlers needed to pay her for her input in building and popularising their brand.
The media personality discovered the Sailors and was their manager for over two years before they fell out last year and the group found a new record label.
