Musician ExQ has slammed the government of Zimbabwe for corruption and impoverishing the masses from their policies.
Posting on his Instagram account, ExQ says he hoped to make money from his latest video, Wakatemba which features Tocky Vibes after garnering one million visits from the audio.
He says the excitement is gone as the new video did not perform as expected.
“Few days ago I was so excited to release our new video ‘WAKATEMBA ‘ becoz the Audio yanga yaita 1 million views on YouTube without a video but now that the video is OUT there the excitement is gone ,l feel really SAD. Things are not well COVID 19 is taking lives almost everyday ,NZARA yatikwadza no SHOWS/Deng BASA. CORRUPTION ikukwadza nekuside it’s now a dog eat dog world,” Mr Putiti posted.
ExQ’s message comes at a time Zimbabweans are encouraging musicians to use their influence to speak about the current political, economic and social problems Zimbabwe is currently facing.

“It is well with us and l will always support ya Mr putitiii shuwa ndokutendai neeeiiii”
“Seems zimcelebs are now awakening.”
“It all begins with us. Why should we pay chiokomuhomwe for services that are supposed to be given to us.”
‘True Mr Putiti takuvara nenzara Iri vana veZimbabwe”
“We are proud of you for saying it like it is”
Zimbabweans got excited earlier in the day when a fake Jah Prayzah Twitter account posted in support of Hopewell Chin’ono, a whistle blowing journalist who was arrested yesterday in connection with the much publicised July 31 protest. Jah Prayzah is a known supporter of the ruling government.
