Magate queen comes to Byo
KIKKY BadA$$, the 50 Magate video vixen has been added onto Enzo Ishall’s entourage and will be in Bulawayo next week for her debut performance in the city.
Enzo is billed to perform at Cosmopolitan Nightclub on February 23, the same night that South Africa’s Mlindo the vocalist will be performing at BAC Leisure.
Organiser of the event, Terminator Makoni said they had added Kikky due to public demand.
“After Enzo’s music video that features Kikky was released last week, people started pleading with us to bring the lady from the video so they have a full ‘ Magate’ experience. I’m glad to say she has agreed to come to Bulawayo,” said Terminator.
On the video, Kikky is captured twerking with members of an apostolic sect trying to exorcise her of seductive dances.
In an interview, Kikky BadA$$ (real name Christabel Mahlungwa), a Zim hip hop musician who became the first female to win the People’s Choice Award at the Zim Hip Hop awards in 2017, said: “I’m so excited that I’ll be coming to Bulawayo because it’s where I come from.
“It’ll be my first time performing there and people should expect nothing but fire on February 23.”
She said other than performing with Enzo, she would also use the platform to perform songs from her Mambokadzi EP as well as some tracks from her debut album Queen of South.
Reflecting on her role on the 50 Magate video, the 24-year-old said she was grateful for the opportunity as it is opening doors for her.
“I was so excited when I was approached to feature in Enzo Ishall’s Magate video. I love his music and I actually had a great time on set shooting the video.” Kikky BadA$$ is a beauty with brains as she is studying towards a degree in Psychology at Great Zimbabwe University. Terminator said preparations for the Enzo and Kikky show were on track with the two artistes expected to arrive in the city on the day of the show. Entry has been pegged at $5 and $10 for VIP. Backing the two artistes will be DJs Mzoe, Keezy and Kead Wikead.
“Tendai Garwe will surely walk and dance again. We remain united in prayer for a total recovery.”
She added: “Soko is very grateful for the gift of life and love and remains positive towards her situation and is determined to keep fighting till all is 100 percent again.”
For those who have been itching to catch up with the Zimpapers Television Network personality on social media, Tin Tin said she was sadly not yet active on those platforms.
“Tendai is not yet back on social media, but is receiving all your messages of love, prayer, comfort and support. Her body may be broken, but believe me, her brain and mouth are as functional as always — if not even more!”
Those interested in visiting her, Tin Tin said, should feel free to go to Athol Evans nursing home in Cranborne, Harare where she is permitted visitors between 11:30AM and 12:30PM.
“She is on a more than military diet as part of physiotherapy and recovery so food (fruits and sweets included) are not permitted. Any other get well soon gestures especially seeing you would make her day,” said Tin Tin.
