In a recent social media storm, Sierra Leone’s renowned hip-hop artist and CEO of Black Leo Records, Ambassador of Entertainment, Kao Denero, took to his platforms to address a brewing controversy involving Nashito Kulala, a music producer in the country.

Accusations flew as Kao Denero alleged that Nashito had forced him to collaborate and had subsequently gained fame through their partnership.

Speaking out against what he perceives as unjust treatment, Kao Denero urged fellow entertainers not to allow the industry to devolve into one where disrespect leads to physical altercations, drawing a parallel with Jamaica’s music scene.

Defending his reputation, Kao Denero attributed the animosity towards him to his decades-long career of consistently releasing hit albums.

He also highlighted his role as an ambassador of entertainment, appointed by the country’s president, which he views as a testament to his influence and impact in the industry.

Addressing specific allegations made by another artist named Real Mike, Kao Denero clarified that his involvement in a collaboration with him was an act of goodwill, despite later accusations of non-cooperation.

Turning to his relationship with Nashito, Kao Denero recounted how the producer had initially sought him out, begging to use his beats while Nashito was in China.

He emphasized Nashito’s reliance on their collaboration for recognition and called out the producer for allegedly turning against him due to political affiliations.

Expressing concern over efforts to derail the release of his upcoming album in April, Kao Denero urged detractors to desist from spreading falsehoods.

He warned that continued interference could lead to unforeseen consequences for those involved, using colloquial language to emphasize his point, “u go collect o”.

Kao Denero appealed for unity and respect within Sierra Leone’s entertainment industry, urging stakeholders to support each other rather than engaging in divisive behavior. He reiterated his commitment to advancing the industry while maintaining integrity and cautioned against allowing personal vendettas to undermine progress.
