Yo Maps’ manager, DJ Kandeke, has taken to Facebook to express his disappointment in certain artists who, despite receiving hefty signing fees from record labels years ago, failed to make smart investments in their careers. Instead, he claims, they are now showing jealousy towards Yo Maps, who has remained focused, consistent, and dedicated to his craft.
Kandeke pointed out that while Yo Maps has been steadily working hard and making strategic moves to elevate his brand, some artists who had the opportunity to do the same squandered their funds and are now directing their frustrations at the wrong person.
“It’s really disappointing when some artists got that huge signing fee from a certain record label three years ago, but instead of using it to invest in their careers, they let it slip away,” Kandeke wrote. “Now they’re out here hating on Yo Maps, who’s been putting in the work, staying true to his passion, and making his dreams happen.”
His post suggests that some artists may have chosen to enjoy short-term luxury instead of securing their long-term success in the music industry. He further advised them to reflect on Yo Maps’ journey and understand that true success comes from hard work, discipline, smart financial decisions and no shortcuts.
“Instead of being bitter, they should take a look at his hustle and realize that real success comes from staying focused, working hard, and investing in yourself no shortcuts. Jealousy and negativity will only hold you back,” he added.
The statement from Kandeke comes at a time when Yo Maps has been making headlines for his achievements, including acquiring a luxurious Ford Mustang and dominating the Zambian music scene with record-breaking streaming numbers. His message serves as a reminder to upcoming and established artists alike that consistency, dedication, and financial wisdom play a major role in sustaining a successful career.
While DJ Kandeke did not mention any names, his post has sparked debate among fans and artists alike. Some agree with his sentiments, while others believe that not everyone has the same opportunities as Yo Maps.
