Gatsby I don’t smash women shaped like men. I am african. I love curves and big things. Real women for strong big men like me
@Kaizer, why are you mad at my citizens? Where you expecting the composer of “alebwelelapo pa mupando?”
Why you go fight with Pilato who was tasked on finding an artists better than him? Pilato conclusion was spot on.
She is Miles Sampa’s brother’s cousin’s daughter’s niece’s sister in law. One of her songs is “Nalitumpa ine”
She is marketing Zambia a Zulu. You could also be doing the same, instead of dissing your country every day.
Congratulations let us learn to celebrate our own…
The problem we have with especially upnd supporters and Africans is that we believe receiving accolades from the western world is global success. Neo mental colonialism is real. All those commenting here don’t know a single song by this sampa. They will now Google her and list some of her songs. Fuseke!!
