Popular Nigerian singer, Kcee has vowed that he and his brother, Emeka Okonkwo, also known as E-Money, will assume responsibility for the late Nollywood actor, Junior Pope’s children till they are old enough to cater for themselves.

Kcee said, “On behalf of my brother, E-Money and our friends, I want to say sorry to the family. Junior Pope is a blessing to this generation. He is somebody that we will never forget in this generation.
“My brother is the godfather of his first son. The friendship we have with Junior Pope has been for ages. When the unfortunate incident happened, my brother said to me that we were going to take up responsibility for his three sons till they were grown.
“But we can’t do that without the support of the family. So we are saying it openly to the family, we are ready to take care of the three kids to any level they want till they are grown to cater for themselves. We will take care of their education, feeding, clothing, and holidays.
We are not doing it to show off but to honour our friend’s dying wish for a better life for his children. And we took it upon ourselves that we are going to support this family to train these children.”

The well-known Nigerian artist Kingsley Okonkwo, better known by his stage name Kcee, has disclosed that he began his professional life as a DJ jockey.
The “Limpopo” crooner said in an interview with the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast that he and his brother, Emeka Okonkwo, alias E-Money, who co-founded Five Star Music, were disc jockeys before making the transition.
“My father was a DJ and a record seller,” the man stated. My father sold records in the house where I was raised. I am therefore familiar with all of the classic musicians. When I was five or six years old, I was selling their recordings.

Kingsley Okonkwo, the Nigerian singer and co-founder of Five Star Music, who is popularly known as Kcee, has strongly criticized his former signee, Harrysong, for asserting that he wrote a majority of his hit songs during his tenure with the record label.
Recall that Harrysong has continuously called out Kcee and his brother and business partner, E-Money, over allegations of holding his musical rights.
He also claimed he wrote most of the ‘Limpopo’ crooner’s hit songs.
However, reacting in the latest episode of the Afrobeats podcast, Kcee said Harrysong was still in the village with his grandmother when he won Star Quest talent show with his former partner, Presh, and got signed to Kennis Music where they released three albums.
He pointed out that it has been eight years since Harrysong left Five Star Music and he is still producing hits without him in the label.
He said he believes that Harrysong needs prayers as he is also fighting his wife and former manager, Soso.
Kcee said, “When I won Star Quest, Harrysong was in the village with his grandmother. I did three albums with Kennis Music, did Harrysong write those? Harrysong has a problem, we need to pray for him. Jokes apart, we need to pray for him.”
