The long-standing public dispute between Andrzej Kosmala, the manager of Krzysztof Krawczyk, and Marian Lichtman, a leader of the band Trubadurzy, escalated in July 2024. According to reports from the Krzysztof Krawczyk in memoriam Facebook page, Kosmala publicly accused Lichtman of insincerity regarding his friendship with the late singer, citing personal grievances and alleged past comments made by Lichtman’s spouse.
The Escalation of the Kosmala-Lichtman Feud
The conflict between the two men, both linked to the late music icon Krzysztof Krawczyk, has persisted for years following the singer’s death in 2021. On July 16, 2024, Andrzej Kosmala took to social media to post a sharp critique of Marian Lichtman. The post, which appeared on both his private profile and the Krzysztof Krawczyk in memoriam page, claimed that Lichtman’s public declarations of friendship for Krawczyk were masks for deep-seated resentment.
Kosmala alleged that Lichtman harbored jealousy over Krawczyk’s career trajectory. “In spite of your declarations of love for Krawczyk, you actually hated him, because you envied him the career, which—as you believed—belonged to you,” Kosmala wrote. He also asserted that he possessed recordings supporting his claims regarding comments made by Lichtman’s wife about the musician.
