Silent Killer Mobbed by Airline Staff, Misunderstood Video Sparks Rumours

By Showbiz Reporter | ZimEye | A video circulating online has sparked controversy as it shows popular Zimbabwean musician Silent Killer being swarmed by airline staff members in what some have suggested was a confrontation over him allegedly smoking on a flight. The footage depicts the singer surrounded by a group of airline personnel before he walks over to two Zimbabweans who are heard explaining to the staff, “he’s an artiste.”

The incident led to widespread speculation on social media, with some users alleging that Silent Killer had been caught smoking marijuana on the flight. However, the musician has swiftly denied these rumors in a Facebook post on Monday.

In his statement, written in Shona, Silent Killer clarified that the incident was simply a misunderstanding. He wrote, “Haaaaa, I agree with you, I don’t want to talk about things, please leave Timbo to celebrate victory… We have been on the plane many times, guys, I am not crazy about arguing with people on the plane… When I got in, people gathered and were taking pictures, some were making noise and cheering… then the air hostesses did not understand. They checked my boarding pass, and people were shouting not to judge… They didn’t understand what was going on… We haven’t gone crazy yet… 21 September Tyoro album launch at Stodart Netball Complex.”

Silent Killer’s statement refutes any suggestion of wrongdoing and highlights that the commotion was due to his celebrity status, which caused a stir among passengers and staff members alike. The musician took the opportunity to remind fans about his upcoming album launch on September 21 at the Stodart Netball Complex. – ZimEye
