The bone of contention is Banda\u2019s failure to take Nepman who is now a member of his Zembani Band to the United States of America. According to Kabolombwe, his former artist is being sidelined at Zembani.<\/p>\n<p>He wrote: \u201cKaya Nepman analakwa chani? Zembani yonse ku America kumusiya yekha? M\u2019bale wanga tsegula maso akuluwa akukugwirisa ntchito. Ufiti suposa apa (The whole Zembani Band is in the USA for perfomances leaving Nepman behind. I don\u2019t know the crime he committed. My friend open your eyes, you are being used. This is witchcraft).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In reaction to Kabolombwe\u2019s sentiment, Banda said the band is not answerable to anyone over its decisions. \u201cZembani band being a private entity we are not answerable to anyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that if Nepman\u2019s former manager feels like he can do a better job, he should take his former artist back. \u201cIf you feel like Nepman is being treated bad you are welcome to take him and treat him better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Nalero hit-maker joined the band in 2015, on contract basis. Since joining the band, Longwe has perfomed with it at many local and international events. Prior to joining the group, the Blantyre based artist produced one of the hit songs in urban music circles alongside his said former manager.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
