The Hip hop circles have been really
weird lately, beefing Twarring, all types of stuff happening. Shuwa Econet
yakatiparira nefree twitter.
So some time recently, a screenshot
started doing the rounds on social media. It started when controversial hit
making producer Anonzi Xndr posted a screenshot of a conversation he had with
then (and still ) virtually unknown rapper Candy Maine. In the chat Candy asks
Xndr to hook him up with a Zim Hip hop award and that he was going to pay for it (a bribe pretty much).
The screenshot was posted on Facebook
and in a short period of time the post had generated lots of comments. When the
screenshot made its way to Twitter it blew up in many unrelated circles
simultaneously, started screaming and ranting while we looked on. After the newspaper article where
Xndr said he helped Candy Maine get famous we had one question for Xndr. So we
hit him up and asked him,
"Was the release of the
screenshot planned as a publicity stunt to introduce us to Candy Maine?"
His answer was that it wasn't. Word for word what Xndr said was, "I did
it to clarify that I'm not a director anymore. And also that the Zim Hip Hop Awards organisers work hard and people discredit them because of people like Candy
Maine who think the system may be bribed."
That having been said he also
admitted to the opportunity that the whole thing gave to Candy to take advantage. We
followed his actions after the screenshot and he has made no attempts
whatsoever to convert this into a publicity stunt and a chance to shove music down our
throats. Let's face it, most of us went out there trying to find out if his music
was worth the award even WITH the bribe.
Then we got a song this morning with lines
"..Mr Nice Bhachi. bhachi remubhero, you took your screen shot and post to the people, I will show you kuti ndiri weHip Hop..."
This just changes things for him, because the last time, his Moment of fame was shorter than a
first round, lets see what he does on the second one!
Oh well, fame isn't for us all.
Remember, learn from Candy Maine and no matter the publicity,
