Speaking on Mic Cheque Podcast, Mwalimu Rachel, who managed the popular Gengetone group at the time, revealed that she discovered the collaborations online, indicating a lack of proper communication and compensation protocols.
"I came across the song they did with Octo just like everyone else, the boys went, recorded a song, shot a video, but there were no split sheets, no agreements," Mwalimu Rachael disclosed.
She further elaborated that while Octopizzo was not entirely to blame, as the music business operates differently, the same scenario unfolded in another collaboration with KRG the Don.

She revealed that a record label approached one of the members without her knowledge, ultimately leading to a contract that undermined her authority and control over the group's works and rights.
"A record label went behind our backs to one of the members, Peter Miracle Baby, they lied to him with wild dreams, stipends, allowances which unfortunately Peter fell for and signed the deal," she explained.
Today members of the group are involved in different things with Peter Miracle Baby the only one actively in music.
