Baba Harare Changes His Stage Name
Baba Harare, born Braveman Chizvino, hinted at changing his stage name to reflect his newfound life in Christ in recent weeks.
In July, the “Ndine Hombe” maestro shocked fans when he cut off his trademark dreadlocks for short hair. He also announced that he would dump Jiti and become a gospel artist.

Bab Harare even went to church with his new woman to show his newfound path. After the change, his friends and bandmates complained that he had dumped them, too, insinuating that his new wife forced him to leave the ways of the world and follow the Lord.
To prove that he was born again, Baba Harare dropped a gospel album, “Repentance”. He will release another body of work, My “Testimony”, on 5 October.

It is still unclear if his wife also said the name Baba Harare is too sinful. He has since changed his stage name and now goes by the moniker King David.
Baba Harare revealed this on his social media handles. He will feature on “Ngoma” by Ashy Anointed and use the name King David on the song’s promotional video and graphics.
