In December 2021, singer Vivian Tendo parted ways with Route Entertainment boss Yesse Oman Rafiki after years of working together. The Timango singer revealed that her main aim in quitting the label was to concentrate on a solo career and not ready to join any other record label at a moment.
During several interviews with local YouTubers, Vivian’s former boss Oman Rafiki revealed that he was not ready to lose Vivian Tendo after so many years of grooming and pushing the singer’s career.
He however added that if quitting was Vivian’s best decision, Route Entertainment has many artists ready to replace her. Rafiki said they never made any formal agreement with the singer so the door was always open for her to go.
The singer’s falling out with Route Entertainment was linked to her South Africa show where she was meant to perform for free, contrary to the label’s terms of service.
Weeks after, Vivian Tendo ran out of patience bringing to light her discomfort with Oman Rafiki who has been threatening her for some time now. Taking her fears to her social media platforms, she posted her private Whatsapp chat with her former boss who is heard throwing insults at her.
The Route entertainment boss is heard in a 1 minute and 16 seconds video, advising Vivian to look for him and talk to him before it’s too late.
He added that the singer should never share their private chat with anyone or else his lawyers will deal with her something Vivian acted contrary, replying she will share them with the public and doesn’t care about his (former boss) lawyers. ”Do whatever you want because even the threats can be helpful at some point the singer” roared.
To all my fans, I’m really sorry but I finally run out of patience, I’ve tried so much to handle this matter as a mature person, I’ve been strong enough to stay on the bad side of the story and I understand you all want me to drop new music but with whatever is going on behind the curtains I can’t. I’m not looking for any sympathy but in case anything happens to me or any of my friends or any of my family at least you can know who to question! I’ve been threatened so many times and I wouldn’t want you to post my pics with “Missing person “ or “RIP” without knowing why! It’s totally out of my control now because it literally costs my life so I hope you don’t judge me I’m only trying to protect myself or my life before things get totally worse! I’ve always dodged interviews for the respect and gratitude I have for my former management but unfortunately, the respect can’t be returned NB: That’s my boss speaking☺️
