Zimbabwean music sensation Freeman, also known as Emegy Slyvester Chizanga, has come forward to address a troubling situation involving a viral photo depicting him with a firearm amid allegations of involvement in armed robbery.
The artist recently found himself under scrutiny as the image garnered attention following a visit to Harare Central Police station, where he was summoned for questioning by the Harare CID Homicide section in connection with ongoing criminal investigations.
In response to these developments, Freeman's legal representative, Dumisani Mthombeni, has endeavored to set the record straight regarding the contentious photograph. Mthombeni clarified that the picture in question was taken during the filming of Freeman's music video for the song "Robbery." He emphasized that the depicted scene, involving Freeman holding a gun and a bag of United States dollars, was purely part of the dramatic portrayal within the video, intended to convey the message of the love song "Robbery."
Furthermore, Mthombeni stressed that the video footage itself provides evidence to substantiate Freeman’s explanation, as the artist can be seen wearing the same attire and carrying the same props as in the controversial image. In addition, the attorney pointed out that the same bag featured in the viral photo is prominently visible in the music video, with numerous witnesses present during the shoot readily available to corroborate these facts.
The legal representative expressed disappointment at the deliberate misrepresentation of the photograph by certain individuals, insinuating Freeman’s complicity in criminal activities. Moreover, Mthombeni firmly refuted claims that Freeman is expected to appear in court, stating that, as per their knowledge, there is no indication of any pending legal action against the artist. He reiterated Freeman’s willingness to cooperate with law enforcement authorities to aid in their ongoing investigations.
In conclusion, Freeman expressed his profound gratitude to his loyal fan base for their unwavering support during this challenging period. He affirmed his innocence and voiced confidence in the justice system to uphold the truth.
