Zimdancehall musician Dobba Don is rumored to be doing drugs following a viral video. In a video making rounds on social media, the Mudendere hitmaker is seeing going insane as a side-effect of some drugs.
Dobba Don, real name Brendon Mehlomakhulu, has had a problem with drug abuse, especially crystal meth, a highly addictive stimulant known as Mutoriro in street lingo. In 2022 Dobba Don revealed in an interview that the fame and public attention he got at an early age drove him to a substance abuse lifestyle.
He also said that he lost sponsors, friends, and dignity because of his drug addiction. He also suffered from starvation and mental illness due to his drug problem.
He once posted on Facebook that he needed help and rehabilitation and preferred dying to continue living like that. He was now recovering from his drug addiction, and last month, he released the song Guchi Dende off Oskid’s Dark Shadow Riddim. The track received critical acclaim. Now it seemed he is relapsing.
Earground published a video that shows that Dobba Don is back to taking drugs, and they are taking a heavy toll on him. In the video, Dobba Don was dancing alone in the streets of Highfields to no music. His pants were dropped way down, and he wore a yellow helmet as he held a box and a t-shirt.
The person who shot the video appealed to arts officials like the Zimbabwe Music Rights Association and the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe to assist Dobba Don in fighting drugs.
