Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Musician Yankho Ackson Zulu commonly known as Classick of the Blantyre hip hop duo Home Grown African, has complained that Coca-Cola gave them \u201cpeanuts\u201d in the 2015 \u2018Kuphaka Life College Campus Tour\u2019 partnership while Tay Grin was given a hefty sum of money.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Carlsberg Malawi, through its Coca-Cola brand, partnered the duo and other local artists to spice up inter-college social weekends dubbed \u2018Kuphaka Life College Campus Tour\u2019 and produced a hit for the college tour.<\/p>\n

The tour which brought together university and college students in all the three regions, was aimed at entertaining college students while they enjoyed the company\u2019s products.<\/p>\n

However, Classick has recently told Podcast Malawi that despite bringing the vibe to the tour, he has now realized that Coca-Cola gave them money which never matched the duo\u2019s commitment, dedication and talent.<\/p>\n

He said surprisingly, Limbani Kalirani also known as Tay Grin was given a hefty amount of money for the same gig, however, he says the \u2018Nyau King\u2019 was worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey gave Tay Grin more money but we were puppets. We made a song for those guys but they gave us peanuts. Me talking about Coca-Cola here is bad, this is a brand, I don\u2019t need to talk bad about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we checked on the pay list, they were giving Tay Grin more money when we made them a song. For our age that time, we were getting money but it was not all like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we were young; if someone gives you K200, 000 and you are 19 years old, you think its money when it is not. That amount which they gave us that time, I can never accept that now,\u201d explained Classick.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Classick has vowed to bounce back in a one man command this month with several projects on the list including a single and a freestyle. The Home-Grown African group which went on mute years back, consisted of Classick and Sindiso \u2018Hayze Engolah\u2019 Msungama and it rose to fame with songs such as \u2018T.I.A\u2019 and \u2018Radio\u2019.<\/p>\n
