Zimdancehall artist Ras Pompy has been thrust into the spotlight for an unexpected scandal involving his friend’s mother. The revelation emerged during the attempted murder trial of Wesley Eroyi Shoniwa from Mbare, who stands accused of stabbing his uncle over the affair between Ras Pompy and his mother.
Wesley Shoniwa, 28, appeared before Magistrate Marewanazvo Gofa charged with attempted murder following a heated altercation that reportedly stemmed from his mother’s alleged relationship with Ras Pompy. The trial has shed light on the personal and emotional turmoil Wesley has been experiencing, which he claims drove him to violence.
According to the court proceedings, Wesley admitted to being deeply disturbed by the relationship between his mother and the 34-year-old Zimdancehall artist. The perceived ridicule from his community further exacerbated his frustration. “We are here because my mother is sleeping with Ras Pompy,” Wesley told the court. “How can she sleep with someone of my age when she can easily find someone her age to sleep with?”
The situation escalated when Wesley’s uncle, who is also his mother’s brother, intervened in the matter. According to Wesley, his uncle took his mother’s side and questioned him about harassing her. This intervention, coupled with the public scorn he faced, led to Wesley’s violent outburst. “Everyone in the neighborhood has been laughing at me over this issue because her boyfriend is my friend and is way younger than my mother,” Wesley explained. “When my uncle asked me about it, taking her side, I was infuriated and stabbed him.”
The incident in question occurred on Monday when Wesley allegedly used a knife to inflict a shoulder wound on his uncle during a confrontation. The uncle had reportedly tried to address the altercation between Wesley and his mother, leading to the stabbing.
Wesley has been remanded in custody until Friday when bail considerations will be discussed. The State’s case alleges that Wesley’s actions were driven by a combination of personal betrayal and public embarrassment, culminating in a violent response to his family and social dynamics.
As the case unfolds, the scandal involving Ras Pompy has added a layer of complexity to an already tense legal battle. The affair and its repercussions have not only affected Wesley’s family but have also highlighted the intersection of personal relationships and public perception in high-profile cases. The trial continues to attract media attention, and the community remains captivated by the unfolding drama involving one of Zimdancehall’s prominent figures.
