In the bustling streets of Harare, where the beat of Zimbabwe’s music scene reverberates, a tale of ambition, friendship, and unexpected disappointment unfolds between two prominent figures: DJ Fantan and his longtime collaborator, Levels.
At the heart of this drama stands Wicknell Chivayo, a controversial businessman known for his flamboyant lifestyle and occasional acts of generosity. Recently, Chivayo found himself embroiled in a storm of controversy after leaked chats surfaced, exposing his decision not to gift Levels a car, unlike his gesture towards DJ Fantan.
The Leaked Chats
The story begins with whispers and screenshots circulating on social media, purportedly revealing private conversations between Chivayo and Levels. In these exchanges, Chivayo expressed frustration and disappointment, labeling Levels as “too forward” and accusing him of incessantly inquiring about the promised car.

In one leaked audio clip, Chivayo’s voice, tinged with exasperation, echoes through the digital realm:
“Yah problem ndeyekuti une dzungu too much. Ukufonera Victor ma video call. Ukumubvunza, how far taura nemukuru. Ko speed ndeyei? I don’t owe you anything shamwari. Ndotokutengera nemoyo wangu. So you have to keep quiet. Mugoti unopihwa anyerere. But wakatanga kundifonera uchiti how far, then you cancel the whole thing. Ungadai wakatowana mota two weeks ago. But pandakaona uchifonera Victor kuti how far ndakabva ndaziva kuti munhu uyu ane dzungu too much. I don’t owe you anything my brother.”
The Fallout
As the leaked chats spread like wildfire across social media platforms, public opinion swiftly divided. DJ Fantan, a pivotal figure in Zimbabwe’s music scene and co-owner of Chillspot Records alongside Levels, had recently been gifted a luxurious Mercedes Benz by Chivayo. This generous gesture, however, left Levels—DJ Fantan’s close collaborator and friend—empty-handed and perplexed.
Chillspot Records, known for nurturing budding talents and amplifying Zimbabwean music globally, owes much of its success to the dynamic partnership between DJ Fantan and Levels. Together, they orchestrated the beats that reverberated through Zanu PF rallies and captured the hearts of music enthusiasts nationwide.
The Backstory
Within the inner circles of Harare’s music industry, it is well-known that DJ Fantan and Levels share not only a professional bond but also a personal friendship forged through years of hard work and shared dreams. Their collaboration under Chillspot Records has provided a platform for countless young artists to shine, a fact that further fueled public outcry over Chivayo’s decision.
A Generosity Questioned
For Chivayo, known for his occasional displays of wealth and generosity, the decision to gift DJ Fantan a car while denying Levels the same privilege sparked speculation and criticism. Many questioned the fairness and motivations behind such selective generosity, especially considering Levels’ integral role within Chillspot Records and his close partnership with DJ Fantan.
