Kikky Badass’ in ‘new romance’ with Enzo

- BY STYLE REPORTER

THERE is no guessing what comes next when the name of female rapper and songwriter Kikky Badass –born Christabel­l Stembeni Mahlungwa- is mentioned.

The plump self-styled “goddess of too much sauce” attracts controvers­y and praise in equal measure.

She has won awards and inspired younger femcees yet she has also stirred controvers­y through vitriolic online posts as well as promises to go violent whenever challenged.

Last Monday, she shocked music lovers with an unlikely collaborat­ion with Enzo Ishall. As if that was not enough, she appeared in the visuals for a Zimdanceha­ll song titled Handizive.

While the song, produced by the award winning Oskid, is gaining decent streams online, it came as a surprise considerin­g how the two portrayed a strenuous relationsh­ip in 2021.

This was two years after Kikky appeared as a vixen shaking what her mother gave her in Enzo’s hit-song Magate.

“Wakanyimwa crown yedancehal­l now you want to rap, I thought you were an OG…If I ain’t twerk on his video would he still have views,” the Body Conversati­ons singer had bragged in reference to the cameo in a song titled Mapisarema.

“So twerking on my video brought more views ? (Laughing emojis). “Woow, ain you twerking on all your videos?” Enzo retorted in a social media post then.

The duo’s latest musical romance is probably proof that the two ostentatio­us stars are musically a match made in heaven –and they know it.

As expected, in Handizive, the 28-year old Kikky can be seen skimpily dressed throughout the video as she plays confrontat­ional partner to a cheating spouse (Enzo).

In terms of quality the video falls short but trust the queen and king of drama to bring their A-game in portraying their roles.

Meanwhile, this is not Kikky’s first time to appear in a Zimdanceha­ll track. In fact she has her own smash hit titled

One One where she ironically sounds like a female version of Enzo.
