October 28, 2019, marked a significant turning point in the career of Tanzanian singer Harmonize. In a shocking move, he announced his departure from WCB, leaving fans stunned and wondering what led to this decision.
According to Harmonize, he had been contemplating leaving WCB for a long time. He claims that the label's ownership of his music under the Wasafi brand forced him to use the Konde BoyGang name, effectively silencing him from performing any songs created under WCB.
Harmonize revealed that he had to pay a hefty sum of Tsh500,000,000 to terminate his contract with WCB. He also had to pay fees for any projects he had completed under the label. In an effort to raise the funds, he was forced to sell three of his properties.
Despite the challenges he faced, Harmonize remained committed to his art. He expressed his desire to maintain a peaceful relationship with WCB, even if it meant paying the required amount to buy back his shares.
However, Harmonize's decision to leave WCB has come at a personal cost. He has lost friends and 'family' who were once close to him due to his association with the label.
His first performance in Kenya under his new management, Konde Gang, was met with disappointment, leaving fans and the media doubting their love for the Tanzanian singer.
