Frank Ro added that his decision to move independently would allow him greater creative freedom and a stronger connection with his supporters.

“As I enter this new season of my career, I am excited to announce that I will be moving forward as an independent artist,” he said.

Responding to Frank Ro’s announcement, Olijaba Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Mulaza Kaira popularly known as Macky 2 expressed disappointment in the love taken by Frank Ro.

“I think I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed,” King Bugar said.

Macky 2 stressed that his concerns were centred on professionalism and the future of Zambia’s music industry rather than personal grievances.

“This isn’t about me. It’s about respect for the craft and the business that sustains it,” he said.

“Olijaba Entertainment is family, yes, but more importantly it is a business entity. We invested time, resources and belief into an artist we saw greatness in.
