Recent rumors suggesting Element's split from the production company 1:55 AM have dominated social media and news outlets, but the artist-producer has categorically denied these claims as baseless.
Currently, Element is in Kampala, Uganda, attending a landmark concert by Rwandan music star The Ben at Serena Hotel. He revealed that his participation stems from supporting his “brother,” The Ben, and nurturing the bond they share.
In a press conference held on Friday evening, May 16, 2025, Element addressed speculations about his professional obligations, affirming that performing in Uganda does not conflict with his contract at 1:55 AM.
He clarified, “You asked if I’m still working with 1:55 AM, and the answer is yes. I continue to work as a producer there. As an artist, I am independent, so I have to be here.”
Expressing gratitude for his journey, he added, “I believe God gifted me with this talent. I’ve used it to connect with amazing people who have supported me. My growth isn’t defined by a strict roadmap—it’s an ongoing voyage.”
Reflecting on his work over the years, Element shared that he has completed four personal tracks alongside collaborations with artists like Marioo, The Ben, Kevin Kade, and others.
Adding to his connection narrative, Element stated that The Ben has been a pillar of support since 2020 when he began working at Country Records.
He remarked, “The Ben has supported me immensely. Beyond being a talented artist, he’s a true brother. I’m here because of him, and it feels wonderful to experience this together.”
Drawing confidence from the shared effort, Element expressed excitement about The Ben’s concert, scheduled for Saturday, May 17, 2025, predicting it would be a memorable show. He concluded, “May God bless everyone involved.”
Element highlighted that this collaboration transcends professional obligations—it reflects the mutual drive to boost Rwandan music globally. He noted, “I feel like we’re supporting one another, and this strengthens our music industry.” 
Reaffirming his professional commitments, Element stated that his contract with 1:55 AM is ongoing, and he continues producing music under their brand. 
Element emphasized the enduring bond between him and The Ben, which has flourished since their first meeting. 
He shared that although he is contracted to 1:55 AM as a producer, he maintains his independence as an artist. 
Kevin Kade, another Rwandan artist, remarked that performing in Uganda represents an opportunity to amplify energy and grow his artistic journey. 
The Ben is poised to deliver a truly iconic concert in Uganda, highlighting his readiness to make the event historic.
