Zimbabwean musician Jah Prayzah has been in the firing line. Remember the Hopewell Chin'ono saga?
The singer has taken the time to reply to Moana's father who had blasted him. For a little back story, Moana appeared in Jah Prayzah's video for Munyaradzi which was released earlier this year.
Ishmael Amuli revealed that Jah Prayzah came to give condolences at Moana's funeral but he never reached out to him. He simply saw others and never asked where was Moana's father. Mr Amuli revealed that on the occasion Jah Prayzah came to the funeral he was actually there and heard that Jah Prayzah had come but he never saw him. Mr Amuli went on to say that Jah Prayzah should've asked for his blessing before featuring Moana in his music video. He said if it was innocent and proper then he would've approved and everything would've been above board.
Well Jah Prayzah is hitting back. When asked about his latest music video he jockingly touched on the issue by saying "no I did not ask permission from her father" which was in reply to being asked if he had asked for permission from Lucy Tichayana's father, who is the young lady featured in his latest video.
The statement about not asking Lucy's father for permission was a direct shot at Moana's father.

Ishmael Amuli who has been making headlines since his daughter passed away in a horrific car crash almost two weeks back has said that he does not hold the musician, real name Mukudzeyi Makombe, in high regard due to his actions.
Moana’s father took issue with the fact that when Jah Prayzah came to Moana’s funeral to pay his respects and to express his condolences, he only reserved that honor for Moana’s mother Yolander Kuvaoga. Amuli and Kuvaoga are estranged after they divorced when the late socialite was still a baby. According to Ishmael Amuli, Jah Prayzah disregarded all cultural protocol by choosing not to pay his respects to the father of the deceased. He said that up to now, Jah Prayzah has not bothered to pay his respects to him.
The outspoke Amuli who is currently embroiled in a fight with his former in-laws over his daughter’s burial, curiously said that he was not impressed that Jah Prayzah did not seek him out and ask his permission for Moana to appear in one of his music videos. Moana featured in the music video of Jah Prayzah’s song Munyaradzi which was released in May this year. Amuli appears to insist that the musician should have sought his permission despite the fact that at the time the video was shot, Moana was 25-years-old and capable of making her own decisions.
