Afro-fusion singer Andy Muridzo and rapper Stunner (real name Desmond Chideme) are currently trading barbs after a fallout over a video shoot of the song “Tichaona”, a collaboration they released a couple of weeks ago.
The song was composed by Stunner.
However, what started off as a blossoming bromance is increasingly becoming acrimonious.
Andy Muridzo is now accusing Stunner of side-lining him from the video project.
In fact, the “Dherira” hitmaker has called the rapper a “lazy fraudster” who used him.
The gifted vocalist argues he had every reason to be part of the video project just as much as he was “prioritised” during audio recording.
In the new video, “Tichaona”, Stunner goes it alone and only acknowledges Andy Muridzo through a credit that appears at the beginning of the video.
“Stunner is a fraudster! How can he proceed to shoot a video without me after we did the song together? To be honest, he simply wants to gain mileage through my effort by not fully crediting me,” fumed Muridzo.
“I gave him conditions for the video, which he ignored. If I was not important, why did he choose me for the audio recording?”
The two musicians reportedly largely disagreed on the video format though they initially agreed to have some scenes shot in both Zimbabwe and South Africa.
The entire video was later shot in Mzansi.
Stunner, however, has come out guns blazing, accusing Muridzo of being unprofessional.
“Andy (Muridzo) is a disorganised guy who cannot take his music career seriously. He is always drunk.
‘‘I chose to shoot the video without him after I failed to get him to commit on several occasions. He always stood me up each time I arranged to meet with him for logistics.” The two have worked together before, as Stunner featured on Andy Muridzo’s video “Zvipande” a couple of years back.
“He is simply not serious! He needs to improve and be professional,” added the Tazoita Cash Records founder.
Even fellow singer ExQ, who previously worked with Muridzo during their stint with the Jah Prayzah-fronted Military Touch Movement (MTM), agrees with Stunner.
ExQ, Andy Muridzo, Nutty O and Tahle Wedzinza were once members of the ambitious but now-defunct MTM, which was rumoured to have been formed to contain a then on-fire Muridzo, who posed direct competition to Jah Prayzah.
“Andy is a cry baby and clearly lacks focus. He is always fighting with promoters and his fellow colleagues in the industry. I am not surprised by this development because I know him (Andy Muridzo) well. This is typical of him,” said ExQ.
Andy Muridzo has in the past clashed with Jairos Chabvonga over a song they did together titled “Ngaituruke”.
Chabvonga argued Andy Muridzo was claiming ownership to a song he had done most of the work.

Best Business Credit Cards for Small Business Owners
A business credit card can be a useful financial tool for small business owners. It can help separate personal and business expenses, build business credit, track spending, manage cash flow, and earn rewards on everyday purchases.
rnrn
The best business credit card depends on how your business spends money. Some cards offer cash back on office supplies, fuel, internet, phone service, shipping, restaurants, or travel. Others offer flat-rate rewards on all purchases. If your spending is spread across many categories, a flat-rate card may be easier to manage.
rnrn
Before applying, compare the annual fee. A card with a high annual fee may still be worth it if the rewards, travel credits, or business benefits exceed the cost. However, for smaller businesses, a no-annual-fee card may be a better starting point.
rnrn
Interest rate is also important. If you pay your balance in full every month, the interest rate may not matter as much. But if you carry a balance, a high APR can quickly become expensive. Business owners who need financing should compare credit cards with other options such as business lines of credit or small business loans.
rnrn
Some business credit cards offer employee cards. This can make it easier to control spending and track purchases by employee. Look for cards that allow spending limits, alerts, and category controls.
rnrn
Rewards can be valuable, but they should not encourage unnecessary spending. A good rule is to choose a card that rewards expenses you already have. For example, if your business spends heavily on advertising, a card with bonus rewards for digital ad purchases may be useful.
rnrn
Business credit cards may also include benefits such as purchase protection, extended warranties, travel insurance, rental car coverage, and expense management tools. These features can save money when used properly.
rnrn
To improve approval chances, check your credit score, business revenue, and existing debt before applying. Many business cards require a personal guarantee, meaning the owner may be responsible for repayment if the business cannot pay.
rnrn
A business credit card should support your financial system, not replace responsible budgeting. Track expenses monthly, pay on time, and avoid mixing personal purchases with business transactions.
rnrn
When used wisely, a business credit card can help small business owners improve organization, earn rewards, and manage short-term expenses more effectively.

Debt Consolidation Loans for Credit Card Debt
Debt Consolidation Loans: Pros and Cons
Debt consolidation loans allow borrowers to combine multiple debts into one monthly payment. Many people use them to consolidate credit card debt and reduce high interest charges.
A debt consolidation loan may simplify your finances by replacing several payments with one fixed payment.
Benefits of Consolidation
The main benefit is convenience. You may also qualify for a lower interest rate, which can reduce total interest costs. Fixed payments can make budgeting easier.
Risks to Consider
Debt consolidation does not solve spending problems. If you pay off credit cards and then run them up again, you may end up with more debt.
Some loans also include fees, so it is important to compare total cost.
Conclusion
Debt consolidation loans can be useful when used responsibly. Compare rates, fees, terms, and monthly payments before applying.
