Jah Prayzah exposed:

Owes Chris three months salary

- Tawanda Marwizi Arts Correspond­ent

Musician Jah Prayzah owed his late bouncer Crispen Nyemba three months’ salary, a family relative has revealed.

TAMBURAI Nyemba brother and family spokespers­on said Cris revealed to the family shortly after he left the Third Generation Band that he was owed money by the lanky crooner. “Cris told me, his wife and the whole family that he was owed three months salary by Jah Prayzah, long before he died.

Cris subsequent­ly left the band to start his own security company.

“We are not after JP’s money and we never asked him for anything. It is only Cris’s friends who were angered by the musician’s actions during the funeral,” he said, in reference to the musician’s attack during the burial of the late bouncer on Tuesday.

Tamburai, who was speaking in the presence of the deceased’s wife Melta Nyemba, said Jah Prayzah visited the family the first day and paid his condolence­s and never said anything.

The crooner visited the family on the second day but chose to remain in his car and never spoke to anyone.

The family said they had nothing to do with the attack, adding that it was Cris’ friends who expressed their anger over the musician’s conduct at the funeral.

“The bouncers must have been angered by the musician’s attitude after they noticed that he chose to remain in his car during the funeral wake in Warren Park and never bothered to contribute towards the funeral yet he owed my late brother money.”

Nyemba who died in a car crash last week was buried on Tuesday at Glen Forest cemetery where Jah Prayzah had to duck missiles aimed
