#AKAFRIDAY…. That time we had to get real humbled so we can get the sample clearance from Tata Caiphus … The publishing agent had sent us a $25,000 fee and 100% compositions or an immediate take down. Meanwhile, the song was already out and Kiernan was about to shoot his biggest budget Music Video then…. I set up a meet up to play the song to Bra Caiphus. He really loved the song and especially the name of the song. “Caiphus Song”.. I “Managed” to get us to close with no fee and a super reduced % to Caiphus…. After that Kiernan and Mr. Caiphus became friends. And I got to meet a musical idol of mine and gained his respect…. So many good times and so many stories: RIPKiernan. ..#Africamusic #MusicManager
