Winky D who has so far released 13 tracks from his latest album Eureka Eureka has divided music fans with some of them insinuating that the project is political.

Some songs from the album have been trending for days now and people have been weighing in different opinions and views about the album.

Music producer Arnold Kamudyariwa who is popularly known as DJ Fantan said some of the artists whom he mentored and who were featured on the album are regretting to be on the project as they are now losing endorsement deals from companies.

In-form Hip Hop artist is the only one who has come out saying he regrets being on the project after it was politicised.

Speaking through his social media accounts, DJ Fantan said;

“Ndanga ndanzwa nevanhu vachiti ko sei ndakanyara iye mukuru akabuditsa dambarefu. Vamwe ndai ignore but since mibvunzo yawanda here is my point of view.

Yes I was excited to hear about the project. I was happy to see other artistes featuring for once pama gitare emukuru. This time he included other artists which was a dream come true for all of us, vaida kuonawo chimuti chichitambidzanwa from one generation to another and to see two generations combining.

But sa elder mu industry when you do certain projects you must enlighten the youths you engage zvizere kuti project riri funded and tave kuimba zvematongerwo enyika so that anopinda achida nemoyo wake munyaya dzacho.

Ini ndiri kutaura se munhu aka groomer and aka mentor most of the youths vari pa project iroro. Zvirikundirwadza to see them crying behind the scenes kuti takakandwa pasi pe bhazi nemukuru wedu kumagitare. Right now mukuru vaya vari ku Dubai ku Holiday ne family yavo zvavo zvakaita. Isusu now tava pama1 because some companies no longer want to associate with us because they dont want their brands associated ne politics of any nature.

As elders ibasa redu to groom, guide and protect vana. Its cruel kuti as an elder in a position yekuvimbiwa nevana unozovaitisa uchiziva kuti yako life irikufamba. This is my opinion hapana daka feel free to have your own opinion.

Anyway, have a blessed day to everyone. God bless you all. Together, tirimurudo rwemazvokwadi, we can take Zim music to the world.”

DJ Fantan who turned off comments on his Facebook post left people wondering which artists went to him complaining besides Holy Ten whom he did not mentor and others also asked which songs were political from the ones that featured former Chillspot artists.
