Zimbabwean rapper Holy Ten has intensified his beef with controversial businessman and “tenderpreneur” Wicknell Chivayo, accusing him of attempting to buy his support with an insulting offer.
The conflict centers around Chivayo’s proposition to gift Holy Ten a luxury car in exchange for backing the ruling party during the last Zimbabwean elections. However, Holy Ten rejected the offer, calling it deeply offensive.
“I support the president, but I don’t support the president so that I get a GLE,” Holy Ten stated. “The fact that you are even telling me you wanted to buy me a GLE is insulting. If someone wants to buy me a car, they need to start at the G-Wagon.”
Holy Ten’s remarks come amid his growing frustration with Chivayo, a businessman known for his close ties to the government. Chivayo’s offer of a Mercedes-Benz GLE was seen by the rapper as an attempt to secure his political allegiance, but Holy Ten has made it clear that he is not interested in such materialistic gestures.
The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding wealth, power, and political influence in Zimbabwe, with Holy Ten pushing back against attempts to buy his loyalty. His comments also reflect his stance on authenticity and integrity, making it clear that his support cannot be bought.
“I’m not someone who is swayed by material things,” Holy Ten emphasized. “If you want my support, it should come from a place of true understanding, not just because you can offer me a car.”
This clash between Holy Ten and Chivayo has sparked further debate about the intersection of politics and celebrity culture in Zimbabwe, with many watching closely to see how the feud unfolds.
