Popular musician, Jah Signal has released a press statement after his colleague, Stunner, attacked him for allegedly offering artistic services for free to an unknown promoter.
In a press statement shared on his Facebook page, Jah Signal did not care to mention Stunner, who he was responding to, only to identify him as a respectable person in the music industry.
The artist vehemently denied the alleged incident and said he does not offer any free performances unless if it’s for a charitable cause.
Press Statement:
We would like to address comments which were quoted and circulated over social media over the weekend by one artist we hold to high regard. We respect him as an industry player and a pioneer whose music popularised the Zimbabwean urban music genres across all demographics of Zimbabwe and the diaspora.With all due respect, we would like to refute all claims that Jah Signal offered his artistic services for free to an unknown promoter. Whoever informed my fellow brother of this philanthropy exercise I am accused to have offered should be ashamed of themselves. We pride ourselves on high-end music and entertainment brands and we feel that such rumours are circulated whispered by parties who want to see the value and the network and the asking price of the brand dwindle and fall.

| Jah Signal Hits Back At Stunner: “We Do Not Offer Any Free Performances” |
We are a very professional outfit and we do not offer any FREE performances on the plate that easily unless they are for charitable causes close to our hearts. We would like you to refer back to the single titled “Hamukirwe” which featured the late Soul Jah Love. Decypher the lyrics” Mukwasha Hamukwire Musina Kubhadhara kubhadara, Chibaba Hachimbouya Musina Kubhadhara” and that's is the mantra we operate with as a business.
We would like to urge all in the media and arts space to do their due diligence, reach out to us before they run with a lie like a horse whose tail is on fire.

The response is well articulated, good job to the person who wrote that piece. Hatizozivi hedu in reality, kana aive manyepo akataurwa na stunner but im sure he didn’t mean free as in zero.00 but offering a far lower fee than is a generally accepted in the industry.
