    Kasolo told off Kavwele on the way he promotes his wife’s songs, she would be a celebrity but “she is not known by anyone”.

    “Kavwele go look for money like all other men and stop saying that we sacrifice people for our wealth. Look for money and make your wife a big artist. You keep on playing her songs and she has amounted to nothing,” Kasolo claimed.
