On October 4, 2019, the Gengeton group Sailors made headlines after emerging from a contract that had been holding them back.
The group, consisting of Miracle Boy, Shalkido, Masilver, Lexxy Yung, and Qoqosjuma, had been releasing music on a radio personality's YouTube account, which meant they couldn't directly receive YouTube payments from Google.
However, the group has now taken control of their YouTube presence by opening an alternative account, allowing them to post unique content and grow their brand.
According to a statement from the group, they will soon come clean about their relationship with the radio personality, Mwalimu Rachel, and deactivate their accounts.
Meanwhile, the radio personality has commented on the situation, assuring fans that she will explain her approach in due time.
