Cedo reveals the details of his situation with Nyashinski.

Posted on by Ozymandias

Music producer Cedrick ‘Cedo’ Kadenyi has addressed rumors about a falling out with his longtime friend, rapper and singer Nyashinski.

In June, a close source alleged that their once-strong relationship deteriorated over a lucrative deal. According to the source, Nyashinski had sought Cedo’s help to produce jingles for a client, offering him Sh1 million for his services on a deal reportedly worth Sh10 million. Although Cedo initially agreed due to their friendship, he later reconsidered when he learned the deal’s value and requested a higher payment.

This situation sparked speculation within the entertainment industry, especially after Nyashinski removed 20 of his hits from Spotify and Apple Music that same month. Notably, most of the removed tracks were produced by Cedo. This decision meant that neither artist could earn royalties from those songs, leading critics to suggest that Nyashinski’s actions were aimed at his longtime collaborator.

When asked about the alleged rift with Nyashinski, Cedo was reticent but hinted that their relationship had changed. “If we weren’t aligned, we wouldn’t have made beautiful music. We’re still great artists. I don’t think there’s anything more to it,” he stated.

When pressed further, Cedo remained vague but indicated that they are no longer collaborating as before. He noted, “Let’s not overthink it. This gift (making music) is not limited. I will probably work with Chris Kaiga for a period of time… Sometimes that growth might manifest itself in a way that doesn’t align with everybody, and that’s okay. If there is anything more between me and Nyashinski, it’s not for me to say.”

Cedo mentioned that the two artists do not spend time together as they once did. Recently, Nyashinski released a six-track EP titled ‘To Whom It May Concern,’ which social media users speculated was a diss aimed at Cedo and Nigerian producer Sam Are, who had previously sued Nyashinski for copyright infringement concerning his hit song ‘Wach Wach.’

A disagreement over a multi-million deal between rapper Nyashinski and his long-time friend and music producer, Cedric ‘Cedo’ Kadenyi, is believed to be the reason behind Nyashinski removing 20 of his hit songs from Spotify and Apple Music.

A recent spot check by Nairobi News revealed that over 20 of Nyashinski’s tracks, which were previously available on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, have been taken down. Popular songs such as “Kebs,” “Hapo Tu,” “Mungu Pekee,” “Aminia,” “Properly,” “Marathon Runner,” “Kabla Tudie,” “Lift Me Up,” “Malaika,” and many others are no longer accessible on these platforms, although they remain available on YouTube.

Further analysis shows a common factor among the removed songs: nearly all were produced by Cedo. Nairobi News has learned that the fallout may have stemmed from a disagreement over a deal worth over Sh10 million.

A source disclosed, “From what I hear, the two had a falling out over a deal exceeding Sh10 million. Shinski secured a major jingle deal with a telecom company and offered Cedo Sh1 million to produce the jingles, which Cedo initially accepted.”

However, Cedo later wanted to know the actual value of the deal through his contacts at the telecom company. “Cedo and Shinski have a long history together, and they know each other well. For some reason, Cedo had an instinct to find out the worth of the deal, considering their past dealings with telecom companies,” the source explained.

This revelation led to a confrontation. “To his surprise, Cedo found out that Shinski had signed a deal worth over Sh10 million for the jingles and was shocked to be offered only Sh1 million. He demanded a higher payment, which triggered their disagreement,” the source continued.

In response, Nyashinski reportedly pulled most of his songs produced by Cedo from streaming platforms. “This means Cedo won’t earn any royalties from those songs where they share publishing rights. It’s puzzling why Shinski would take such a step, considering it also affects his own earnings,” the source concluded.
