Avril is not usually one people accuse of betrayal and sleeping with the enemy,but the ‘Kitu Kimoja singer found herself on the bad side today.
This was after she took to social media to give her two cents on the raging social media debate on MCSK that was triggered by the hasthag #Elanispeaks.
" It is sad at this age and time when I see some artists fighting MCSK when the facts clearly show that they should be joining hands to fight middlemen in the Skiza Deal, broadcasters that are not paying, adoption of percentage pegged tariffs on broadcasters as per their audited accounts in paying royalties to MCSK, public sensitization on why paying royalties is good citizenship rather than being coerced by use of police for them to pay for Music usage. Finally, MCSK ni sisi Wasanii, Let's not destroy what was built on March 3rd 1982 for our own selfish interests. Mcsk is not perfect but we do believe everything will work out well for all the artists
I would love for a situation where the big 5: Nation Media Group, Standard Group, MediaMax, KBC and Royal Media go on record to furnish the public with details on whether they pay royalties or sort out licenses for all CMOs they are required to pay for. Anyone? " she wrote.
A post that had her followers and a number of musicians assume that she was on MCSK’s side.Realizing that her post had ruffled a few feathers and people were in a rush to conclude that she was in cahoots with MCSK Avril shared this:
