Meanwhile, popular Hip Hop artiste Holy Ten has said he now regrets working with Winky D on his latest offering.
In the new album, Winky D collaborated with Holy Ten on a song called Ibotso, which the latter now regrets being part of as it has been “politicised.”
Writing on Twitter, Holy Ten highlighted that the politicisation of the song is harming his brand.
Activists, journalists, lawyers – Split opinions will not do any good for a brand that’s trying to serve & save everyone so help me by not acting like I’ve picked a side. Do not politicize a project that I’ve considered a mere honor to be a part of. I regret it now honestly
His comments were met with a mixed bag of feelings which include;

I think that song speaks of a different issue. Speaks of flashy old guards coming for young girls.The ghetto life repeats itself for the boys banking on their girls,but they always lose.That’s all. NO POLITICS! We, your fans understand don’t mind the rest. Keep leading the youth.
