Nega Don, singer of the Sierra Leonean group LXG, says there is no bad blood after Kass’s departure. He explains that the split came down to family responsibilities, financial difficulties and a lack of investor support in the music industry. He does not rule out a reunion, according to his interview on Afri Radio 105.3 FM reported by Sierra Loaded.

Sierra Leonean singer Nega Don, frontman of the group LXG, says there is no bad blood with Kass, a former member of the group. He was speaking during a joint interview with Kass on Afri Radio 105.3 FM, Sierra Loaded reports.

According to Nega Don, the split did not result from a disagreement but from family responsibilities, financial pressures and a lack of investor support in the music industry. He says he parted from Kass emotionally, is pleased with his solo progress and does not rule out a reunion. He describes him as a brother and one of the best performers in the country.

Kass, for his part, cites the difficulty of mixing personal relationships with professional responsibilities, and the feeling of not always being able to express himself within the group. He explains that few members attended meetings, and criticises the handling of musical arrangements, which he says left some of his fans dissatisfied.
