{UAH} Congolese star and one of the hundreds of Koffi Olomide protégés, Fally Ipupa, recently requested A$ap Rocky for permission to collaborate with Rocky's woman, Rihanna.
Rocky slammed breaks on it.
During a recent interview, the American Star evokes that... "FALLY IPUPA contacted me for a Feat with Rihanna. Firstly, I am not my wife's manager, but I refused because I wouldn't say I liked his way of approach... he called me my bro instead of sir. He is the one who needs visibility; he must be respectful, and then we will see the rest."
Note: Fally Ipupa has 9.6 followers on this blue app, while Asap Rocky has 8.6, making a difference of a million followers. Forbes puts Fally at 17M while Rocky is at 23M, which Fally is doing better considering his career is not buttressed within the American entertainment industry and its elevations. Fally's is 95% African and 5% European Market.
Anyway, I have two opinions.
1) A$sap Rocky has a right to safeguard his space and that of his wife, especially since word has it that the Congolese Bolingo is a threat to anacondas worldwide...( it's the monkey soup and herbs)
2) Black Americans don't like Africans. Those who do are few. It's a slave-era mentality. They have been at the bottom of the food chain in the American race wars for centuries, and the only way to feel good about themselves is to look down upon Africans. I've interacted with them. The only way to beat them in that mentality is by not giving them any attention. Floyd Mayweather is an example; he hates being associated with Africa. He doesn't accept the term African American.
Africans go to America and outperform black Americans in the workforce. They don't like that. Africans are more educated. They don't like that. Africans understand the assignment whenever they immigrate. They don't like that. This could be an isolated issue about Rihanna being a giant Star than Rocky and Ipupa combined, but there are always undertones.
The only reason Akon spends his billions investing in Senegal is because he is a purebred African.
For all the trillions of dollars made by African Americans in sports and entertainment, how much have they invested back in Africa? It's the Asians, the Caucasians, and Africans themselves who bother to build this continent. Jay Z, Michael Jordan, etc., will only do charity in slums to appease the IRA but will not develop tech hubs, colleges, sports academies, etc., here.
To them, Africa is only 'real' in fiction, like Wakanda.
Old, poor, uneducated, grumpy and with rotten village behaviours like Mulindwa need not be allowed in civilized world.
