Sauti Sol Accused Of Exploiting Upcoming Models

Sauti Sol have receiving backlash since the weekend over accusations that they promised to pay models for their upcoming shoot with exposure, food and transport.
In an email, seen by Daily Updates, sent by the production team of the band to interested applicants, the band tells the applicants that they do not have a budget for them but they would provide money for food and transport during the day of the shoot.

Hello, thank you for your application. The nature of the shoot, on Monday 5th February, is a dance video for Sauti Sol's next song. We will be needing 6-9 models and you were amongst the models we liked the look of. For this particular video we do not have a budget for models. However, we will provide money for transport and food on the day of the shoot. And we believe this could open many doors for you.

The Email Sent By Sauti Sol Productions

Many Kenyans were disappointed with this considering that Sauti Sol are a commercial success and thus should have a budget for the models that appear in their videos.

These dudes @sautisol are a major disappointment. Dudes making millions but paying nothing to their video models. This is extortion and you must be called out for it. Style up pic.twitter.com/Wn4Bl3LZjb

Leave alone Sauti Sol, most of these musicians don't pay models for their videos, they'll just provide alcohol so they get ratchet on the videos.

Corporates also notorious for this 'exposure' slavery, invited to cover event only for coffee yet you advertised them.

The uncultured Sauti Sol quartet have blocked me because I told them how not to write bad English. And it was for free...perhaps would open many doors for me. Haha

Kenya has got to times where transport and food are models of payment despite having a stable currency against foreign one.

Sauti Sol Mungu anawaona tu
