Over the weekend Holy Ten’s fans in the United Kingdom witnessed an electrifying performance by Zimbabwean artists Holy Ten and Michael Magz at the highly anticipated Zim Fest UK. The duo, known for their chart-topping hit song “Ndakanzwa Izwi,” set the stage on fire with their enthralling act that left the audience spellbound.
However, the night took an unexpected turn as Holy Ten was left angered by Michael Magz’s shocking act of throwing cash into the audience – money that Holy Ten had just given him for safekeeping during their explosive performance.
During their performance, an enthusiastic supporter decided to show their appreciation in an unconventional way. They handed Holy Ten a substantial sum of cash, expecting it to be a shared celebration between the artists. Holy Ten then handed the money to Michael Magz for safekeeping. In a surprising turn of events, Michael Magz, known for his eccentric demeanor, took the money from Holy Ten’s hands and tossed it back into the audience like confetti. The crowd was left in awe and astonishment as bills flew through the air. Holy Ten, on the other hand, seemed taken aback and unimpressed with Michael Magz’s actions.
While some attendees were taken aback by the unexpected act, others saw it as a unique gesture of appreciation for their support and love for the music. Magz’s audacious move created an unforgettable moment that connected him with the audience in a distinct way.
Both Holy Ten and Michael Magz have been gaining massive popularity not only in Zimbabwe but also on the international stage. Their exceptional musical talents and charismatic performances have earned them a dedicated fan base worldwide.
Zim Fest UK continues to be a celebration of Zimbabwean culture, music, and heritage, attracting artists and audiences from around the globe. This year’s event proved to be one of the most memorable and talked-about editions yet, with Holy Ten and Michael Magz stealing the show with their unforgettable performance.
This incident highlights the power of music and the unique ways artists connect with their audiences. Despite the surprising turn of events, Holy Ten and Michael Magz’s electrifying performance solidified their legendary status in the music industry, leaving fans eagerly awaiting their next collaboration.
