Zimdancehall icon Winky D has hit back at Holy Ten, the self-proclaimed leader of the youth, addressing the ban on his songs by Zimbabwe’s radio stations and delving into the controversy surrounding the August 23/24, 2023 elections in a new song.
Winky D marked two decades in the music scene with a sold-out New Year’s Eve show at the Harare International Conference Center (HICC).
Known as The Gaffa, the multi-award-winning artist treated his dedicated fanbase to an unforgettable night, unveiling his much-anticipated follow-up to Eureka Eureka, titled Ghettocracy Score.
While Winky D belted out hits from his previous albums, it’s not just his flawless performance that has set social media abuzz. It’s his freestyle, believed to be a sneak peek from Ghettocracy Score, that has caught everyone’s attention. In the new song, Winky D finally addressed Holy Ten, his collaborator on the controversial track Ibotso.
After the release of Ibotso, Holy Ten distanced himself from Winky D. Holy Ten went on to say that the collaboration with Winky D was a set-up. He dissed Winky D on radio interviews and even sneak dissed the Zimdancehall veteran on several songs, the latest being We Don’t Do That Here.
Radio stations were directed not to play Winky D’s album Eureka Eureka. Surprisingly, Winky D remained silent, not responding to Holy Ten’s attacks or the radio ban on his music.
Now, breaking his silence, Winky D has fired back at Holy Ten and addressed the radio ban, as well as sharing his thoughts on the 2023 elections, all in a new song that has ignited a buzz on social media. The powerful lyrics include:
Ndopararira kwese kwese kutsvaga maguta/Umwe oti ndakahwinha umwe woti wakabuta/Varikuona Mbuya Nehanda varimuguta/Ndakatsikisa dambarefu Eureka Eureka/Paradio voramba voti iro ridza wega/Ndakati vanotora zvevapfupi nekurebaUumwe woiramba hanzi iyo wakaimba wega
