Miracle Baby: How record label deal crippled Sailors

 Sailors Gang

Former Sailors group member Miracle Baby has come out to speak on what really caused their group to split.

Opening up during one of his live social media sessions, the gengetone singer revealed that their group's predicament began when an international record label approached them wanting to sign them.

"They sat down and saw that their music doesn't reach Africa as much most especially Kenyans and they decided to investigate and find out why. They came to notice that there is this upcoming group called Gengetone that were taking over the Kenyan market and they decided to reach out to them," he narrated.

According to Miracle Baby, most members of the group did not hesitate and were quick to grab the 'golden' opportunity hoping it would be their ticket to prosperity.

"They promised money every end month and free studio sessions and video production as long as they signed us. So when the boys saw the amount of money and advantage involved in this deal they weighed their options and signed, that was it," he continued.

In a rejoinder, Sailors former manager, media personality Mwalimu Rachel expressed her shock over Miracle Baby's revelation questioning why they blamed her for their split.

"Now after damaging my name and reputation which I am still working on rebuilding you say cartels came all the way to finish you? Si mimi tena who killed your career? Okay good to know. Thanks for clearing that up. But let the people now see for themselves how you lied," she wrote.

According to the radio presenter, it was the group's greed and impatience that led to their downfall.

"Because no one will tell my story for me I will tell it. Stop blaming 'cartels', you got greedy, you lacked patience. I warned you but instead you went out tarnishing my name saying I stole from you Hsh15 million per month. Lol sasa kimewaramba. I said one day the truth will come out, seems like the day is here," she added.

Looking back at the backlash she received over Sailors' dying career three years ago despite her every effort to grow them, Mwalimu Rachel says she is comforted by the fact that she let her work vindicate her.

"When your record label reported me claiming they owned rights to your songs, I did not fight back even though my company paid for those songs. When they reported to YouTube claiming the videos now belong to them, I did not contest even though my company catered to everything as an executive producer. I knew I needed to focus on other things, clearing my name and reputation in court, I won. Many don't even know this. Again I kept quiet. I knew my work shall vindicate me one day," she said.
