ANOTHER Bulawayo-born musician living in South Africa last week went on a blasphemous tirade on Facebook, after reportedly losing a close family member.
The musician, who goes by the alias Lovejoy Mlava, questioned the existence of God in his posts, which he has since taken down.
In some of his posts he said he wouldn’t make it to another day because of the loss of his loved one, while questioning why God had “taken so much from him”.
In a series of messages on his timeline, he declared that he would take his life.
“In a few days I will be dead,” he wrote on one of his posts.
“Does God exist,” he went on before deleting his posts.
Early this year Bulawayo rapper Cal_Vin, Mgcini Calvin Nhliziyo went on a similar rant on Facebook, with many saying it was all a publicity stunt.
He called himself a fallen angel, compared Jesus to Santa Claus, boldly declaring if he was real he would take his life.
“I regret giving Jesus props when all he did was give me pain, this time I’m done acting stupid, do something, prove to people you alive by taking my life f*** boi,” ranted Cal_Vin.
Cal_Vin, who was once a Christian rapper named Church Boi, later continued his tirade: “F*** changing, let’s continue with the F***y of life.” This was in an apparent reference to his December track Changes that features up-and-coming female singer Latora, where he sang about turning a new leaf and changing his partying ways.
He even shared videos and pictures of himself attending church services towards the end of last year and the beginning of this one. The change seems to be out the window as according to him: “Jesus is a myth, I’m Sorry.”
Some of his friends suggested the outburst was just a publicity stunt to promote new music to which Cal_Vin responded with two posts: “Niggas be like this is a publicity stunt, niggas I’m way too talented for a publicity stunt, that’s you following me already, why will I wait till I have 5k friends to pull a stunt, f*** a outta here.”
Nonetheless, Cal_Vin later apologised for his remarks.
