Nyashinski's fallout with Cedo

Earlier this year, the fallout between Nyashinski and his longtime producer Cedo garnered significant attention, particularly following the release of Nyashinski's EP, To Whom It May Concern.

The conflict centered on a lucrative jingle deal worth over Sh10 million that Nyashinski secured with a major telecommunications company.

Initially, Nyashinski approached Cedo to produce the jingle, offering him Sh1 million for his work.

Cedo accepted this offer at first; however, he later sought to verify the actual value of the deal through his contacts within the telecom company.

To his shock, he discovered that Nyashinski had been awarded significantly more than he had anticipated.

Feeling undervalued and underpaid, Cedo demanded a higher compensation, which led to a conflict between the two.

This disagreement marked a turning point in their long-standing professional relationship, which had previously been characterised by mutual respect and collaboration.

Cedo has produced many of Nyashinski's popular tracks, including "Mungu Pekee" and "Aminia," establishing a strong bond over the years
