Holy Ten responds to Michael Magz split

- By NyaSha GoRoGodo

hIp-hOp star holy Ten has addressed his separation with singer Michael Magz in a recent episode of The Denny J Show. he clarified that there was no firing involved, but rather a need to change their working conditions as their one-year contract neared its end.

"I understand we helped each other musically," holy Ten explained, "but developing a brotherly bond can lead to a sense of entitlemen­t. If your brother has a nice shirt, you might feel you deserve one too. But in profession­al settings, like an econet worker and Strive Masiwa, the relationsh­ip is different. Boundaries are clear. Blurring those lines, living together, and treating it purely as brotherhoo­d can make people forget their recent success and expect parity with someone like me," he said.

holy Ten raised eyebrows by questionin­g Michael

Magz's sudden purchase of a $10,000 car shortly after leaving Samanyanga Sounds, where he claimed to earn only $60 per month. "There might be an agenda to troll me here," he suggested, implying Michael's claims may be exaggerate­d.

Despite the separation, holy Ten acknowledg­ed Michael Magz's production contributi­ons and expressed appreciati­on for his work.

Michael Magz, however, shared a different perspectiv­e in an interview with DJ Ollah. he cited growing dissatisfa­ction with his allowance despite increased workload and hit songs like "Ucharamba Uchipisa" and "Delilah." "We agreed on commission­based pay, but it felt unfair when income from shows, where I performed several songs, didn't reflect the effort," he said.

Both artists offer contrastin­g narratives of their split, leaving fans to draw their own

conclusion­s.
