October 15, 2019, marked a significant milestone for Sailors 254, a group that rose to fame with their catchy Gengetone tracks.
Concerns had been growing among their Kenyan fans, who felt that the group's great work was being exploited by Mwalimu Rachel, their manager, by posting their content on her YouTube channel.
With a large fan base, fans expected Sailors to earn from their hard work, and having their own channel was seen as a necessary step.
As a result, the issue sparked a heated debate on Twitter, with fans accusing Mwalimu Rachel of exploiting the group's popularity to grow her own brand.
However, in a recent interview, Sailors revealed that they have finally opened their own YouTube page, making it easier for them to manage their content and monetize their views.
With fans from all over the world, including international fans who fell in love with their hit song 'Wamlambez', Sailors are now in control of their own destiny.
