FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Jan. 6, 2025 -- MikaBen, born Micheal Benjamin, was a beacon of light in the Haitian music industry. His untimely passing left a profound void in the hearts of his fans, colleagues, and loved ones. As we navigate the challenges surrounding his legacy, it is essential to approach these conversations with empathy, understanding, and respect for all involved.

For the past two years, Vanessa Fanfan, Mika's wife and a valued client of B.E. Relations has been the target of unwarranted social media attacks. This situation has deeply affected not only Vanessa but also her family, pushing her to a point where she can no longer remain silent. These actions are not only hurtful but also distract from what truly matters: honoring Mika's memory and his extraordinary contributions to the music industry. Despite these challenges, Vanessa has remained steadfast in her dedication to preserving Mika's legacy. Her recent public statement about the ongoing estate case reflects her unwavering commitment to transparency and fairness.

As the mother of Mika's two young daughters, Vanessa's primary focus has been on raising their children with love, stability, and strength. It has been consistently evident that she is a devoted and exceptional mother to Mika's daughters. Now more than ever, she deserves the peace and support necessary to continue nurturing their family and protecting Mika's legacy.

We understand that emotions are high, and many feel personally connected to Mika's work and life. However, it is crucial to allow the legal process to take its course without resorting to speculation or judgment. The courts are best positioned to handle these matters fairly and impartially, and we encourage everyone to respect this process.

Mika's legacy is one of unity, talent, and love. He brought people together through his music and left an indelible mark on Haitian culture. Let us honor his memory by fostering the same spirit of unity and compassion he represented.

We ask the community to rally behind the values Mika embodied and to support Vanessa during this challenging time. Attacks and divisiveness only undermine what Mika worked so hard to build. Together, we can ensure that his legacy continues to inspire and bring joy to future generations.

Let us focus on preserving Mika's memory with dignity and love and allow the legal matters to be handled by those entrusted with that responsibility. Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to celebrate the life and legacy of this remarkable artist.

When Is the Best Time to Release an Album?

A question I’ve been asked many times is, "Cheyna, what’s the best time of year to release an album?" My answer has always been, "Unfortunately, there’s no such thing." There isn’t a guaranteed “best” time to release an album, as many factors come into play. However, there are ideal times to consider, and these can increase your chances of success though even then, nothing is guaranteed.
Understanding the Factors
The timing of your album release depends heavily on your market. For U.S.-based markets and other large markets, timing considerations are often less critical, as these markets are driven more by consumer needs and wants than by specific events or traditions.

In a press release issued by Good Life Entertainment, the band expressed their deep regret over the decision, citing "circumstances beyond our control" as the primary reason.

The cancellation has left fans across the country, from provincial towns to the bustling capital, deeply disappointed. VAYB acknowledged the shared sense of loss, stating, "We know how much the group was eagerly anticipated across the cities of the provinces and the capital; we share your disappointment."

This announcement comes at a time of heightened tension and tragedy in Haiti, which continues to grapple with escalating gang violence. Last month, Mickael Guirand, the lead vocalist of VAYB, faced a heartbreaking personal loss when his niece became a victim of the ongoing gang violence.

READ FULL ARTICLE ON OPAMUSIC.COM: As President Joe Biden approaches the final chapter of his presidency, he's pulled off a move that could easily be described as a "chessmaster's checkmate" in the game of American equality. In a historic push for representation, Biden has appointed over 65 African American judges to the federal bench, cementing a legacy of diversity and inclusion that his successors might find hard to match. Among these appointees, a significant number are African American women, signaling a deliberate effort to make the judiciary more reflective of the country it serves.

President Biden’s judicial appointments are not only remarkable for their sheer number but also for their unprecedented diversity. With notable figures such as Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who became the first Black woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, and numerous others now serving at various levels of the federal judiciary, Biden’s strategy has been both impactful and symbolic.

READ FULL ARTICLE ON OPAMUSIC.COM: Jimmy Cherizier, also known as "Barbecue," the notorious Haitian gang leader and head of the Revolutionary Forces of the G9 Family and Allies (G9), has made alarming threats against Haitian musicians and water transport workers. Cherizier has warned that any artist who performs in the suburbs instead of in his controlled territory will face deadly consequences. Similarly, he has issued threats to workers delivering water to areas outside his gang’s stronghold, further exacerbating the dire humanitarian crisis in Haiti.

These statements come amid escalating violence in the capital, Port-au-Prince, as Cherizier continues to consolidate his influence over large swaths of the city. Despite his claims of being a revolutionary leader for the people, his actions have left a trail of death and destruction, particularly impacting women and children.

Jimmy Cherizier, a former Haitian National Police officer turned gang leader, has a history marred by violence and human rights abuses.

READ FULL ARTICLE ON OPAMUSIC.COM: As we approach the end of 2024, it’s impossible not to reflect on what has been a year of revelations in the Haitian music industry and the broader community. When I predicted that this would be a year where truths would come to light, I didn’t anticipate the magnitude or the toxicity of what would unfold. The confessions, scandals, and controversies that have surfaced are staggering. As the year closes, it feels like there’s no end in sight, leaving us to hope for a brighter and less toxic 2025.
The Rise of Toxic Conversations
The internet, once a space for connecting and sharing knowledge, has become a battleground of negativity. Gossip, always a problematic force, has grown into something vile and venomous. It seems the more toxic the content, the more attention it garners. People gravitate toward negativity, ignoring the many creators producing meaningful, educational, and positive material.

READ FULL ARTICLE ON OPAMUSIC.COM: The Haitian Konpa band Ekip, known for its infectious rhythms and chart-topping hits, has found itself in the spotlight recently—but not for its music. Earlier this year, the band released its sophomore album Makiye Mizè W, which debuted in January to rave reviews. The album spawned several hit singles and secured the band numerous bookings for live performances. However, despite their musical success, the group has been the subject of swirling gossip that threatens to overshadow their artistry.

For those who have managed to avoid the rumor mill, it seems nearly impossible not to have heard the buzz. Much of the chatter began when Shabba’s ex-wife took to social media in what appeared to be a jealous tirade, leveling personal accusations against the band member. While we’ve chosen not to delve into the details—especially since children are involved—it’s clear that the allegations have ignited a media frenzy.

Read More on OpaMusic.com: In a significant act of defiance, residents of the affluent suburb of Pétion-Ville joined forces with the Haitian National Police (PNH) to repel a gang invasion, resulting in the deaths of at least 28 suspected gang members. The coordinated resistance marked a turning point for Haitians fed up with years of unchecked gang violence, as they took matters into their own hands to protect their community.

The attack, orchestrated by the "Viv Ansanm" gang coalition led by Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier—a former police officer turned gang leader—began in the early hours. Two trucks carrying heavily armed individuals attempted to breach Pétion-Ville, a neighborhood that had thus far been spared the chaos engulfing much of Port-au-Prince. One vehicle blocked the main entrance, while gang members sought to enter the area to wreak havoc.

Forewarned and prepared, residents armed themselves with machetes and hammers, erecting barricades and taking strategic positions.
