Zambian artist Boy Kay, popularly known as Boy Kay Naneka Fye, has revealed that his friendship with fellow musician Chile One Mr Zambia ended after a fallout involving unpaid borrowed money and what he described as a one sided relationship.
Speaking during an interview on the Ba Repair Komboni Podcast, he said although he and Chile One worked together on successful music projects, including the hit song Ba Kubepafye popularly known as Chibombasa, Their personal relationship later fell apart.
Boy Kay said the friendship lacked reciprocity, claiming Chile One was unavailable whenever he was needed.
“When you need him, he doesn’t pick up your call, but when he wants you,” he said.
He further stated that the friendship officially ended after Chile One allegedly failed to repay money he had borrowed from him.
“Chile One is not my friend. The friendship ended when he borrowed money and he failed to pay back to me,” he said.
He also stressed that their collaborations were strictly business arrangements, saying he paid Chile One for music features and video appearances.
Boy Kay added that people often assume famous artists are financially stable when that is not always the case.
“Sometimes in life you can find that those people who are famous are not doing okay in life while those who are not famous are doing well,” he said.
In another remark during the interview, Boy Kay claimed that some artists in the industry were struggling privately despite their public image.
He also clarified that his upcoming song featuring T Sean has no connection to his differences with Chile One, dismissing speculation from fans online.
Boy Kay further criticized social media users for commenting on situations without understanding the full story behind them.
Meanwhile, a fan of Boy Kay identified as Judith Chewe said the only way to end the ongoing drama between the two artists was for Chile One to repay the money allegedly owed to Boy Kay.
“The only way this issue can end is if Chile One pays back the allegedly owed money to Boy Kay because that is where the problem started,” Chewe said.
Another supporter, Joshua Kunda, also backed Boy Kay, saying friendship in the music industry should be built on honesty and respect.
“If someone helps you and even lends you money, the right thing is to pay them back. Boy Kay has every right to speak out because friendship must be based on trust and respect,” Kunda said.
Speaking in an Interview with Lusaka star, Ronald Expensive said he follows proper procedures before featuring anyone on his platforms and ensures that participants give consent before filming begins.
“I follow procedure before asking anyone on my shows and ask for permission before I shoot a video,” he said.
He further explained that he only interviews individuals aged 16 and above because they are considered old enough to provide consent to participate in his productions.
Ronald Expensive noted that the questions asked during his interviews are usually general and that participants are responsible for how they choose to answer.
“Personally, I ask general questions and how one responds is entirely up to them because that’s a standard question,” he said.
He added that responses vary depending on the individual being interviewed.
“Some answer in an appropriate way, some inappropriate, and that’s up to them,” he stated.
The viral video has continued to attract mixed reactions on social media, with some users accusing such content of negatively influencing public behavior, while others argue that participants willingly choose to be part of the interviews.
Meanwhile Content creator Josias Sakala, popularly known as Josias ZM, has spoken out on concerns surrounding loyalty test content, stating that consent and emotional consideration are part of his process before filming and posting videos.
Speaking on the growing criticism that loyalty test content destroys relationships and promotes mistrust, Josias ZM explained that he first ensures all participants agree to take part in the content.
He further revealed that there are times he chooses not to upload certain videos when he feels the content becomes too personal or emotionally sensitive.
“Many times I have felt like not posting the content because it becomes too personal to people and I tend not to post,” he added.
Josias admitted that loyalty test content can encourage mistrust in relationships, but maintained that his intention is to expose unhealthy relationships rather than destroy stable ones.
“Loyalty test encourages mistrust in relationships, but I’m just making sure that wrong relationships should end,” he explained.
On how he handles the emotional impact of the videos, Josias said he speaks to participants before they make major decisions after the loyalty tests.
“The measures that I take to protect emotions is that I make sure I talk to the person about the decision they are trying to make over the loyalty test,” he said.
However, he disclosed that he does not offer compensation to people who participate in the videos.
“The only way this issue can end is if Chile One pays back the allegedly owed money to Boy Kay because that is where the problem started,” Chewe said.
