Zimbabwean artiste Winky D has won the Best African Dancehall Entertainer award at the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) held at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica.
IRAWMA, which was running under the theme “Reggae Rise”, recognised dancehall music and its contribution to the evolution of Jamaican music over the last fifty years.
The 40th IRAWMA edition held in the North American country received 135 nominees vying for honours in 32 categories.
Winky D, born Wallace Chirumiko, was crowned the Best African Dancehall artiste despite competing against the likes of Patoranking, Star Zee, and Shatta Wale. He said:
This award was particularly poignant as it had been presented to us during a period of intense challenges and diversity.
In January this year, Winky D won the Best Male Artiste in Southern Africa prize at the prestigious All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) held in Senegal.
He scooped the prize for his hit track “Happy Again”.
In recent times, the Mabvuku-bred musician has suffered forms of persecution in Zimbabwe for his songs viewed as unfriendly to the ruling elite.
He recently told his fans that he has been banned from performing his new song “Ibotso” in which he seemingly condemns the greedy ruling elite feasting at the expense of the poor majority.

DNA Test Sparks Baby Mama Drama: Chelsea Clashes with Holy Ten Over $150 Maintenance Offer
In a shocking turn of events, Holy Ten’s baby mama, Chelsea Tariro Hlomayi, unleashed a tirade against the popular rapper.
The drama unfolded when Holy Ten offered to pay USD$150 as maintenance for their child, leaving Chelsea fuming and expressing her frustration publicly.

Chelsea took to social media to express her disappointment, highlighting that Holy Ten had previously gone above and beyond by spending USD$250 on a DNA paternity test.

However, she criticized him for now offering a mere $150 for the upkeep of their son. In a fiery post, she went as far as calling Holy Ten the “****est person alive.”

Here’s the letter from Holy Ten’s lawyers;
REF: MUKUDZEi CHITSAMA v CHELSEA TARIRO HLOMAYI :
Reference is made to the above matter and to your letter dated 4 May 2023.
We have Instructions to inform you that the client is amenable to and can afford to make a contribution of US$150 towards the welfare of the minor child. The stated amount is an amount he can guarantee to advance to your client on a monthly basis without defaulting,
As you are aware of, he is not formally employed and also has a family to provide for. He does not have a consistent source of Income hence his earnings vary from month to month. He is, however, quite certain that he can get US$150 every month for the child.
Kindly revert back at your earliest convenience if the offer is acceptable to your client as he would like to speed up the necessary legal processes and commence with making the payments
Meanwhile, this outburst is not the first time Chelsea has caused a stir with her baby mama drama. Just two months ago, she revealed her relationship with Holy Ten and introduced their four-month-old son, Mufaro, to the world. The revelation came after Holy Ten paid lobola for his now wife Kimberly Richards.
During their previous clash, Chelsea accused Holy Ten of being a deadbeat father, expressing disappointment that he seemed disinterested in their son’s life. She expressed frustration that he had time for everything else, including his music career, but failed to prioritize his responsibilities as a father.
Holy Ten’s response was far from empathetic, as he boldly claimed that his music provided the means to buy diapers for their child. In a shocking statement, he declared that he would only be present in his son’s life after a two-month period, citing personal matters that required his attention.
The ongoing drama between Holy Ten and Chelsea has caught social media’s attention, with fans and followers expressing their different opinions on the matter
