Collaborations where Bien, Khaligraph, Mejja & Diamond Platnumz outshined main acts

Gengetone singer Fathermoh has weighed in on the ongoing feud involving Ezekiel Mutua, the CEO of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya, (MCSK) who criticized Fathermoh's song 'Kaskie Vibaya' featuring singer Sylvia Ssaru.

Mutua argued that the song did not promote good morals in society and called on musicians to produce better content.

Fathermoh, however, chose not to take sides in the exchange. Instead, he questioned why Mutua singled out Ssaru as the artist responsible for the song, when it was actually him that featured Ssaru.

Fathermoh's observation opened up a new perspective on songs where featured artists outshine the main artists. In this article, we explore 9 such songs
