In 2010 the band apparently split up when Daiton had a fall out with his brother Josphat. Reasons for the fall out ranged from issues of greed,allegations of witchcraft among other issues (www.pindula.com). Somanje and his brother then started solo careers that eventually proved to unsuccessful.The band apparently then got back together but then struggled to get back to the top as they had lost their fan base in the event of them splitting up and unsuccessfully launching their solo careers.
