“Hip Hop artists go on stage thinking it’s a modeling show” – Stunner

Multi award-winning Hip Hop artist Stunner has urged music promoters to choose wisely when they are looking for artists to perform at their shows.

This came after earGROUND founder and music promoter Plot Mhako complained about how artists handle their business when they are on stage and how they shortchange both fans and the promoters after they would have been fully paid.

“Ndozonzi Plot anotaurisa but zvimwe zvacho vamwe vaimbi vanojairira. I book & pay you to perform, the fans pay to watch you deliver a good show then you come and poorly lip sync to your own song. apa Mari dzinenge dzichidiwa dzacho dzinenge dziri refu. Put some respect to your craft, rehearse, create a show and deliver value,” wrote Mhako on his Facebook page.

Stunner who caught wind of the Facebook post had a lot of words for both the music promoters and the artists, especially Hip Hop artists:

“Dear promoter, it is you who praise these studio artists that can’t perform for sh1t when there is no auto tune. 1hr rakareba pa stage kuti vadzokorodze zvinobuda pa radio nema voice aye va anenge vapihwa nemushini so choose wisely how you mix up your line up (good performer, tik tok artist, radio artist, seasoned musician and straight up clowns that made it by mistake and pay these artists accordingly),” Stunner wrote on his Facebook page.

“One day vachanoimba out of town kusingadiwe ma funnies vakarohwa ne bhemba. It is not your fault Mr promoter but take charge coz this is your event that you have paid for. Ask the artist if he or she is using a band , back track or lip syncing. Trust me you have to ask coz pachatemwa ma speaker ndopamuchaona kuti Jesu idombo.”

“I won’t lie dancehall artists will sweat kunge vachaputika Tsinga on stage and it’s these hip hop artists that go on stage thinking it’s a modeling show. Hip hop artists, please start having rehearsals so you can’t be real kings off stage and on it coz mari irikushandiswa kuti muimbe yakawanda.”
