According Kiss 100, the singer was it again, ranting of how Kenyans ignored her while Nigerians gave her a chance. She posted the rant in an exclusive celebrity group saying that Angela Angwenyi was even in a position to help her once but chose not to because she hated her.

“I met a Nigerian DJ who used to play my music in the African clubs in Atlanta. Back then I used to beg Fully Focus to support me and play my tracks….but the Nigerian DJ is the guy who supported. He told me ‘Vee, you have a beautiful voice, do a remix to Ice Prince song Oleku…’. I did just that ….And Killed it…. He sent it to thousands of blogs and BOOM…… 8 MONTHS after that, I get a tweet from Chocolate City In Nigeria,” went her rant.

She added:

“They SAID they wanted to open a branch in Kenya…. And hired Angela Angwenyi ( who hated me from jump…..not sure why ?) Altho she was at Radio, ehhh she didnt really pump my shit…. For some reason I couldnt get gigs, ( banned from blankets…..not sure why)  even tho Mtoto, Oya, Whoa ft prezzo & AY, Prokoto ft Diamond and Ommy Dimpoz was the littest thing poppin at the time….”
