Fans were left confused as Charts Africa presents the Zimbabwean raggae artist-Dancehall artist Winky D as an artist from South Africa on Bob Marley’s album “Africa Unite”.

Winky D featured on Bob Marley’s upcoming album ‘Africa Unite, but Zimbabweans were shocked to see his name representing South Africa and Nutty O representing Zimbabwe, and yet both artists are from Zimbabwe.

However, some fans believe it might be a typo.

Recently, ZBC News excluded Winky D’s name from local Zimbabwean artists who featured on Bob Marley’s upcoming album, saying Nutty O and other artists from Africa featured on Bob Marley’s upcoming album.

Here is the list which was written by Charts Africa.

“He is Ours!” Zimbabweans Outraged As Publication Acknowledges Winky D As South African On Upcoming Bob Marley Album:

Zimbabweans have expressed their outrage over a mix-up that wrongly identified international award-winning artist Winky D as South African.

Reggae-dancehall star Winky D, together with hitmaker Nutty O, were featured on the upcoming album “Africa Unite: The Singles Collection” by the late legend Bob Marley.

However, Charts Africa, a music news website, posted a list of artists on the album and Zimbabweans are breathing fire.

Posting on its Twitter page, Charts Africa shared a list of all the artists featured on the album and their nationalities. Winky D’s name was accompanied by a South African flag instead of a Zimbabwean one.

The error sparked a backlash on social media, with many Zimbabweans accusing Charts Africa of disrespecting their country. Some also questioned the credibility of the website and its sources.

Check out some of their responses below.

Muller: “Winky D is from Zimbabwe. Musatijairire.”

My Backup: “Bro @funmud10 huyai muone mashure SA ikuda kutotitorera WinkyD maskati machena.”

Phanuel: “Excuse Us @chartsafrica since when did Winky D change his citizenship from Zimbabwean to South African….”

The album “Africa Unite: The Singles Collection” is a tribute to Bob Marley, who died in 1981 at the age of 36.

The album features some of his classic songs as well as remixes and collaborations with various African artists. The album is set to be released on August 4, 2023.

African artists featured on the Album are Rema (Nigeria), Tiwa Savage (Nigeria), Patoranking (Nigeria), Oxlade (Nigeria), Ayra Starr (Nigeria), Teni (Nigeria), Sarkodie (Ghana), Stonebwoy (Ghana), Winky D (Zimbabwe), Nutty O (Zimbabwe), Ami Faku (South Africa) and Afro B (Cote d’Ivore).
