What you need to know:
Fame, as they say, comes with a price, and indeed Mustafa has paid a lot of it, as his name was associated with controversy both in and out of stage.
From unwarranted hostility towards some fellow artistes to noisy breakups, he became a household name to fans both for good and wrong reasons.
But now that seems to have worn him out and it seems like the hit maker wants out, a U-turn he has decided to take after realising that maturity is knocking and that the time to get serious with life is now.
When they first ventured into the music scene as the the Deux Vultures, all seemed well for the duo of Daudi Mustapha alias Colonel Mustafa and Nasty Thomas. They had instant hits like "Mona Lisa", "Katika" and "Kinyaunyau "earning them a fair share of popularity amongst the fans.
But the fame that came about with these great hits couldn’t cement the survival of the group, with Nasty Thomas dying out from the music scene while Mustafa tried to revive his comeback this time as a solo artiste which you cannot deny has been successful.
