Up-and-coming singer Anknown is out here telling a story that many struggling artists know too well—he paid for a song and Daddy Andre dissapeared like the Bachwezi.
In an interview on The Deep Talk, Anknown opened up about how he painfully saved Shs 1 million hoping to jump-start his music dream by working with the big-name hitmaker.
“I met him and we talked. He asked me for the full amount upfront. Normally we deposit 50%, but we gave him the money as requested,” he said.
Back then, Andre was said to be operating from Spice Diana’s 32 Records studio. But as soon as the cash exchanged hands, the dream hit a brick wall.
“He disappeared like the Bachwezi. When we called him again, the phone was off. I don’t know if he blocked my number, but we kept trying. We even went back to 32 Records and they told us he doesn’t work from there. That we messed up by not asking for a receipt,” Anknown added.
It stings even more because it came from someone he looked up to.
“I just loved Andre and thought he’s an honest person. I still demand him my song till now,” he said.
From inspiration to disappointment—Anknown’s story is a reminder that in this industry, even admiration can be expensive.
