Harare – February 6, 2025
Fans of Zimbabwean music superstar Jah Prayzah are expressing growing concern that the extravagant gifts from businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo could have unintended consequences for the musician’s career. Social media is buzzing with speculation, as some fear that the association with Wicknell may come with strings attached.
Wicknell, known for his flashy lifestyle and generosity towards Zimbabwean celebrities, recently gifted Jah Prayzah a top-of-the-range Mercedes-Benz and other luxurious items, sparking debate among fans. While some see it as a well-deserved reward for his contributions to the music industry, others worry that these lavish presents might put him in a compromising position.
On X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, discussions have erupted, with fans questioning whether Jah Prayzah will maintain his artistic independence or if he may feel pressured to align with Wicknell’s interests.
"Wicknell haape munhu chinhu pasina chimwe chiri kuseri. Tinenge takamuona ani achizopunzika nekuda kwechipo chemunhu uyu?" wrote one concerned fan.
Another fan defended the singer, saying, "Jah Prayzah deserves every blessing that comes his way. He has worked hard, saka ngaarambe achinakirwa nemibairo yebasa rake!"
Jah Prayzah himself has remained silent on the matter, focusing instead on his upcoming projects and performances. However, insiders suggest that his team is closely monitoring public reaction.
With past cases of beneficiaries of Wicknell's generosity falling out of favor with him, many are wondering: Will Jah Prayzah's career and public image remain intact, or will these gifts come at a cost?
