Last week musicians Jah Prayzah and Winky D both released what has been described as “monster” videos.
The release of the videos has ignited debate about the ability of the two artists especially after Jah Prayzah’s “Kunerima” broke records for the most views by a local artist. However, the records did not last long as they were shattered barely three days later after Winky D released his own “MuGarden” on Valentine’s Day.
However, in an interview, Jah Prayzah said that he was neither jealous nor intimidated by Winky D although he respects his craft and ability. Speaking to social media personality Acie Lumumba on the on The Lumumba Files over the weekend, Jah Prayzah is quoted by 263Chat as saying,
While I don’t feel jealous of him, I am not threatened by him as well. Instead, I feel inspired because he has done well, the video is really nice. His video concept and the storyline, it is just out of this world.
After all, it is not about competition but taking Zimbabwean music to the next level. I am even glad that more artists are coming on board releasing high-quality productions.
We have exhibited our capabilities to the world and I believe the day we do a song together we will fill the National Sports Stadium.
