The relationship between Wally Seck, renowned artist, and his drummer Mbaye Sy Ndiaye, also his cousin, seems to be put to the test. A public scene, during which Wally Seck would have ostensibly reprimanded Mbaye Sy Ndiaye by asking him not to reduce the importance of the guests on stage, was the visible trigger of this tension. Since this incident, Mbaye Sy Ndiaye has gradually disappeared from Wally Seck’s concerts, making his appearances on stage rare, if not non-existent.
Last weekend, during several Wally Seck performances, the absence of his usual drummer only amplified rumors of a possible rift between the two men. What did not escape observers was also the absence of the singer at the baptism of Mbaye Sy Ndiaye’s new child, a significant event which could have strengthened ties rather than distended them.
However, according to information from Kawtef.com, it would not be a breakup, but rather a leave taken by Mbaye Sy Ndiaye after the birth of her child and for the organization of the baptism. This break is presented as necessary for the drummer and is not linked to differences with Wally Seck.
Despite these clarifications, fans of Wally Seck and Mbaye Sy Ndiaye, like their family circle, hope for a quick return to normal. It is crucial to remember that the two artists share a strong family bond: Wally Seck is the nephew of Mbaye Sy Ndiaye, their respective parents being brother and sister. In addition, their family is marked by the past friendship between Thione Seck, father of Wally Seck, and the father of Mbaye Sy Ndiaye, who inspired the hit “Mass Ndiaye” by Thione Seck.
Despite the current tensions, it remains to be hoped that this difficult passage will not mark the end of their collaboration, both musical and family.
