In the ever-competitive world of Zimdancehall, tensions have flared up again as controversial musician Seh Calaz took to social media to challenge the legendary Winky D to a clash. Known for his bold and often provocative statements, Seh Calaz did not hold back in his public address, accusing Winky D of being a “coward” and questioning his true dominance in the genre.
The dispute began with Seh Calaz acknowledging Winky D’s recent performance at Rufaro Stadium, where the “Bigman” delivered a stellar show to a captivated crowd. Calaz, however, used the moment not only to commend Winky D but to issue a challenge. Taking to Facebook, he posted a video of Winky D’s performance and captioned it with a challenge that many are seeing as a bold confrontation.
“Winky D DiBigman Good show mumusha maMambo Yesterday👏🏿,” Seh Calaz started, before throwing down the gauntlet. “I challenge you to a clash any day any venue, kana matya clash we do same show different sets and let people be the judges. Mukahwinha ndoziva muchiri Bigman sekare,” he wrote. Calaz suggested that, should Winky D be too scared to clash, they could instead perform the same show, with different sets, and let the audience decide who the true king of Zimdancehall is.
Seh Calaz’s challenge seemed to echo his frustrations with the lack of opportunities he feels he’s been given in the Zimdancehall scene. He drew comparisons to earlier moments in his career, when more experienced artists like Daddy D, Sniper, and Badman gave him the chance to clash and prove his mettle. According to Calaz, it is now Winky D’s time to face similar scrutiny and put his talents to the test in a public showdown.
“Remember back then Daddy D, BadMan and Sniper vakakupai maClash muri vadiki kwavari now yavanguva yenyuwo muite zvemangoma tisangane mu speaker,” he said, referring to his own experience of being thrust into the competitive world of clashes at an early stage in his career.
But Seh Calaz did not stop at merely issuing the challenge. He took the opportunity to call Winky D a “coward,” particularly for how the veteran artist allegedly took years to respond to diss tracks. “Winky D replies to madiss tracks for years, in so many ways aqahwanda because he is a coward,” Calaz asserted, claiming that Winky D had avoided confrontation and only replied when it was convenient for him.
Adding fuel to the fire, Seh Calaz took aim at Winky D’s remarks about other artists receiving gifts, particularly from businessman Wicknell Chivayo. Winky D had previously commented on the practice of gifting expensive cars, and Calaz slammed this as “godo undercover” (hidden jealousy), accusing him of double standards. He made it clear that he believed Winky D was envious of others’ success.
Seh Calaz’s frustration extended further, addressing Winky D’s public complaints about sabotage within the industry. He criticized the “Bigman” for complaining about being sabotaged by Passion Java while, in his view, he and his team had also been responsible for blocking Seh Calaz from numerous shows over the years. “Magaffa and Winky you complain nekutoimba about ma subbotage yenyu yeku Jabuna yamakakanikqa Passion Java asi isu hatifanirwe kutaura kuti mukutibvisisa pamashows for 12 years,” Calaz pointed out, implying that Winky D and his team had been just as responsible for shutting him out.
This confrontation between the two Zimdancehall giants has sparked a storm of reactions on social media, with fans divided over who they believe holds the true power in the genre. Some fans stand by Winky D’s legacy, praising his influence and consistency over the years, while others are drawn to Seh Calaz’s defiant spirit and belief that the time has come for new blood to rise to the top.
One thing is clear: this challenge is not just about music, but about the ongoing power struggle in Zimdancehall. Whether or not the two artists will face off in a clash remains to be seen, but it is certain that the rivalry between Seh Calaz and Winky D is far from over.
