Makhadzi’s Accusations Spark Controversy and Backlash in Zimbabwe

Last month, in an explosive Facebook Live, Makhadzi accused Winky D of deliberately trying to overshadow her performance.

Makhadzi claimed that the organizers had conspired to sabotage her and fellow artist Jah Prayzah to promote Winky D. She alleged that Winky D extended his performance beyond his allocated time, resulting in her own set being cut short. She stated,

“Winky D, I love you my brother, but it’s like the whole thing was planned for your performance to destroy us… I don’t know if you know that, but that’s what the situation was.”

Makhadzi’s allegations sent shockwaves through the music community, particularly in Zimbabwe, where Winky D enjoys a dedicated fanbase.

Makhadzi faced massive criticism from Winky D’s legion of fans as they fiercely defended him against the blame.
