“Yes, I was drinking beer. I love beer because ndozvatinomwawo after a long day. I take beer after a long day. We have a lot of respect for that,” he said.
Holy Ten went on to describe himself as a Zimdancehall artist, saying he had a lot of newfound respect for the genre after his attendance of the Zimdancehall Cup Clash tourney.
“Haa Zimdancehall haitongwe nemasalad. I am a Zimdancehall artiste! I am not a hip-hop artist. I stand with the Zimdancehall boys and I will always support them,” said Holy Ten.
The rapper said he had only distanced himself from the genre in the past because of its glorification of substance abuse.
“I’ve always had respect for Zimdancehall, but when it looked like they were mingling with drugs, I did not like that because I have lost a lot of people due to drugs like Guka and Broncleer,” he said.
