AWARD winning Zim dancehall star Saul Musaka Muzavazi popularly known as Soul Jah Love is on the brink of falling unpopular in Bulawayo, following his latest no show stunt at the Dancehall Summer Festival held at the City Hall about a fortnight ago.
Not only did he disappoint his fans but promoters of the show, as he reportedly only showed up at 3am and demanded payment before the show.
A promoter of the show Terminator Makoni said he was extremely disappointed at that Soul Jah Love was not only disrespectful to them as promoters but to his Bulawayo fans.
“You know this guy is ruining his reputation as an artiste. Surely for him to be so arrogant and to disregard his fans is just disrespectful. People paid money to see him and he decided to pull up some stunts,” said Makoni, adding that this was not the first time he had pulled such a stunt.
“He demanded to be paid when he popped up at 3am, when the show was just about to end. He claimed his car had been clamped on his way to Bulawayo but failed to communicate with us the promoters.
“Soul Jah Love did the same at Forty 40, Palace gardens and at Cape to Cairo. He must just retire from music. He is a shame to the people,” said Makoni.
Soul Jah Love is no stranger to controversy, as he has continuously been getting the limelight for all the wrong reasons. In February this year he pulled a similar stunt after pulling out of the Zimbabwe Music Awards at the last minute. The controversial yet talented artiste pulled out of the Zimbabwe Music Awards ceremony at the last minute after being asked to share the stage with Seh Calaz.
As reported, a source close to the goings-on said when Soul Jah Love arrived at the venue ahead of the ceremony, he was told the organisers were planning to have him share the stage with Seh Calaz and he was against the idea, prompting him to pull out of the event.
