News: Ego, Fame, Exposure and Friends among Others Were the Factors That Led to the Split-up of Praye- Says Cartel Big J

Product of now defunct, hiplife trio, Cartel Big J on Pluzz 89.9fm with Sammy Flex in a heart to heart interview disclosed that among the myriad of factors that led to the split-up of the ten-year old Praye group, fame, ego, ideological differences, exposure, friends were the core factors that caused the split-up.

He added that at a point in time, they weren’t able to manage the stardom; ''the size of our stardom was just too much for us to manage, and also the friends we made during those days also was a huge factor leading to the break-up”.

On whether he has missed the other members of the group, he commented, “we’ve been through it all, we’ve seen it all, we’ve rocked top notch shows together, I just don’t know why we should split-up at that point in time. Indeed, I have regretted joining the group in the first place. Nothing ever ringed a bell to me that the group would break-up one day, and to the extent that I’m now a solo artiste.”

Cartel Big J has released a single titled ‘Mafiwo’ which featured hilife sensation, Akwaboah Jnr some few weeks back, and he is set to release a new single soon which will be featuring the VRMG boss, Edem.

On whether he will advise someone to start his/her music career as a group, he said, “I’ll never advice anyone to start doing music as a group, just be your solo artiste and make things happen for you.”
