Hip-hop artist Holy Ten found himself at the center of a heated confrontation with fans during a recent performance at Jongwe Corner in Harare. The musician, who arrived late due to reported heavy traffic, was met with an angry crowd that disrupted his set and voiced their frustration.
The incident unfolded over the weekend when Holy Ten’s delayed arrival sparked significant displeasure among the audience. In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Holy Ten can be seen addressing the crowd, questioning whether he was late for his performance. The fans, in response, confirmed his tardiness, prompting him to ask if he should continue with his set or leave.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense as one fan was heard shouting, “Ehe wanonoka, wanga uri kupi. Traffic kudii kwacho. Dzokera zvako hauna basa,” which translates to, “Yes, you are late. Where were you? What traffic? Go back, you’re not needed here.”
This altercation marks a troubling repeat of similar incidents for Holy Ten this year. In May, the rapper faced a similar hostile reception in Bulawayo, where he was forcibly removed from the stage after attempting to disrupt a performance by his rival, Saintfloew. The incident in Bulawayo highlighted ongoing tensions between Holy Ten and his critics, culminating in his removal from the event by an irate audience.
The recent episode at Jongwe Corner not only underscores the challenges Holy Ten faces in managing fan expectations and performance schedules but also reflects the broader issues of artist-audience relations within the music industry. As Holy Ten navigates these controversies, his ability to maintain a positive relationship with his fan base will likely be crucial in shaping his future performances and public image.
