The Reason Why Qounfuzed attacked Seh Calaz...

The Zimdancehall community was left in awe last Saturday as Zimdancehall artist Qounfuzed punched another artist Seh Calaz in the face. The social media were awash with a lot of speculations regarding this incident.

What motivated Qounfuzed to punch another artist resulting in him getting  incarcerated?Did he loose the lyrical war and concomitantly decided to end the war physically?

A source close to Qounfuzed has revealed that this incident was not a publicity stunt contrary to widely held speculation.For Qounfuzed the rivalry with Seh Calaz was never a personal issue at all, but rather a battle of creativity .However the latter took the issue personally,instead of responding to the former's songs,Seh Calaz decided to frustrate Qounfuzed's personal life .Seh Calaz started dating Qounfuzed's girlfriend and he went on to have sex with her!He took some pictures while in intimate positions with the girl and intentionally leaked them.

The girl was not even aware that she was being used as a proxy in this 'war'.Seh Calaz and his crew started frustrating Qounfuzed and bragging about how their 'boss' had meted out 'judgement' on Qounfuzed.Hence last Saturday Qounfuzed was merely 'fighting fire with fire'-the source revealed.

Intrestingly, Seh Calaz played innocent and appeared as the saint. He capitalised on the situation knowing that the whole world was oblivious to what he had done to provoke the wrath of Qounfuzed.He posted on his facebook that he was going to drop the charges and alot of people started blaming Qounfuzed for being a coward who could not end his battle with Seh Calaz lyrically.The whole world saddled the blame clause on Qounfuzed not being aware of the circumstances that lead to this fiasco. 

Qounfuzed says he does not regret the night he spent in the cells because it gave him the opportunity to reflect on alot of things in his life.However he regrets punching Seh Calaz even though the latter deserved it.Now his fans will think he is a violent character yet anybody in his shoes could have done the same or worse.He apologizes to all his fans and to all the parents of the children who looks up to him as their role model.He urges other artists not take things personally after all music is just an art. This incident taught him that all conflict must be resolved amicably. 

I WANTED TO MARRY BONA! SAYS T GONZ

At one point everyone desires something in their life. For men usually it is driving the latest car, having a nice house, a fat bank account and a beautiful woman. However for Tinashe ‘T Gonz’ Gonzara all of that never mattered in his life-the only thing that mattered was the idea of marrying the President’s daughter: Bona Mugabe. He has released a hip hop song titled: Mukwasha wa president( The president’s son –in-law)

In this humorous song he claims that he once sent Bona a message on Facebook, but she never responded. He even goes further to claim that he once waved her at the heroes acre, but she never noticed and never waved back. However, even though expressing his disappointment, he wishes Bona and Simba a happy lifetime. 

When he came to my office I quizzed him why he had decided to record a song for Bona. He told me how Bona had done a good thing which other girls must emulate. “Most girls are indulging in pre-marital sexual relationships with multiple partners, something which is very dangerous. But Bona has become the embodiment of good virtue” Said T Gonz. Initially, I was afraid to write this article but after he explained to me what motivated him to record this song I became more than willing to draft the article.

It’s not the first time for the rapper to dedicate a song to a married woman. He has a song titled: Dear Tererai (Mugwadi). In this song he was telling Tererai how he had developed a crush for her ever since he first met her at Chigutiro studios. He narrated how he at one time absconded school just to meet Tererai after being told by a friend that Tererai had returned from South Africa.

 

T Gonz has worked with a lot of artists in his promising career. He has worked with Cindy, Tererai Mugwadi, Maskiri to mention but just a few. He will be working on some videos sometime this year. The sky is definitely the limit for this artist who with no doubt will take the Zimbabwe music industry by storm.
