Tension and controversy flared at the Zimdancehall National Cup Clash as Silent Killer, the embattled chanter, clashed with fellow artist Seh Calaz, resulting in a dramatic on-stage confrontation that captured the attention of fans and onlookers alike.
Silent Killer, who recently made headlines after parting ways with his manager, ignited controversy once again during Seh Calaz's performance at the City Sports Center. In a widely circulated video, Silent Killer defiantly took a seat on a speaker as Seh Calaz prepared to take the stage, setting the stage for a tumultuous showdown.
Despite the mounting tension and the audience's agitation, Seh Calaz proceeded with his performance, prompting a reaction from the crowd. Frustrated and disapproving of Silent Killer's presence, spectators voiced their dissent, culminating in the hurling of bottles and cans at the contentious artist.
Unperturbed by the escalating chaos, Silent Killer remained steadfast on the speaker until security personnel intervened, forcibly removing him from the stage in a scuffle that briefly disrupted the event. Seh Calaz, showing composure and resolve, temporarily exited the stage until the situation was brought under control, enabling the event to resume.
