WINKY D recently earned himself rockstar status, as he reaffirmed his status as ZimDancehall King on BBC Radio 1Xtra, after demolishing freestyle beat on the station, shadowing his counterpart Jah Prayzah.

The ninja warrior or gaffer as he is affectionately known proved that indeed he is as versatile as an egg, during a scheduled interview with BBC 1Xtra DJ Edu, in celebration of Zimbabwe’s independence.

On the freestyle, available on YouTube, Winky D raps about his success, fashion, bragging about how he has made it as a Zimbabwean artiste and that he is undoubtedly the king.

He raps all this, before handing over the mic to Jah Prayzah, who sadly fails to impress on the freestyle. Jah Prayzah on the freestyle fails to even last 30 seconds, before Winky D saves his face by taking over the freestyle and rapping over it to the end.

This is not the first time he has featured on BBC 1 Xtra, his hit song Disappear made it on to BBC 1Xtra’s play list, where it was played among other big tunes from the African continent and the rest of the world.

The song has also made it onto BBC 1Xtra’s top deejay-Edu’s top five African tunes of the moment.

The song ranked number five while others like Nigeria’s Wizkid’s Final (Baba Nla), African woman by top South Africa wheel-spinner DJ Shimza, Hol it by Shata Wale and Kaladoshas’s Nipaseko Chance complete the top five tunes.

His previous hits Takaipa Takaipa and Musarova Bigman have also made it on to the playlist.

In an interview his manager said they were happy about his success.

“We are happy of course and it only goes to show that if you don’t lose focus progress will always find you. Don’t listen to the negativity they say, just focus and set your eyes on the prize, results will come,” he said.

Winky D has managed to tour the country and even gone abroad on tours and has even been made ambassador of various products.
