Wicknell Finally Speaks on the Winky D Situation
Millionaire businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo has finally addressed the ongoing rumours about his stance on Zimdancehall star Winky D.
How It All Started
The drama began after a local blogger posted a screenshot that showed Wicknell’s luxury car screen playing “Kumusoro” by Nicky Genius featuring Winky D. The post went viral, with many people saying it proves Wicknell is a secret fan, even though he’s known to support a different political side from Winky D.
“I Never Said I Don’t Listen to Winky”
Wicknell didn’t waste time clearing things up. He publicly responded: “I’ve never said I don’t listen to Winky D. He’s a good artist with a strong following.” That put the rumours to rest at least on the music side of things.
The Real Issue? The People Around Him
Wicknell made it clear that he has no problem with Winky D’s music or talent. His issue is with the fact that Winky D has taken a political stance that’s different from his own. According to Wicknell, Winky D’s refusal to acknowledge that political difference while still expecting support is what caused tension. He didn’t sugar-coat it.
No Bad Blood, Just Respect Needed
Surprisingly, Wicknell said if Winky D had ever come to him directly and said, “Mukoma, we may not agree politically but please recognise my music,” he would’ve had no problem supporting him. That comment turned the whole situation around and got people talking.
So, Where Do Things Stand Now?
Wicknell’s response was clear: he doesn’t hate Winky D or his music. The disagreement is about politics, not talent and as far as Wicknell’s concerned, he’s open to giving credit where it’s due and the door isn’t completely closed.
