BY STYLE REPORTER Kadoma rapper Lee-Roy Tashinga Dzingisai, popularly known as Chidhakwa Chine Swagga has blasted fellow rapper Voltz JT accusing him of copying his works without acknowledgement.
Voltz JT released a music video for his song Pfuurai Nekuno, which features South African star Emtee on Thursday morning.
In one of his lines, Voltz JT RAPS “Gara waziva ma does and don’ts”, which Chidhakwa claims are his lyrics from his song Feeler Mado’s and Don’ts, which he released last year.
Feeler Madon’ts is part of Swagga’s second album dubbed Love and Other Unnecessary Things.
Songs on the album are Feeler Ma Don’ts, Zvemoyo, Amanda, Slow Whine, Ma Boys Angu and Silent Prayer, (featuring Crowley).
“I came across the new Voltz JT track where he makes use of my creative concept about Feeler Madoes and don’t’s. I have always seen him as a little brother who was my junior in high school and I respect him, but he is taking advantage the same way Seh Calaz did on one of my songs called Ndeye Mhene,” Swagga said.
“I don’t blame him for wanting some of my art because these drill artists are rigid and run out of ideas and concepts, they all sound the same and the beats sound the same but he (Volts JT) should not be lazy in creativity.
“I don’t mind sharing art, that’s the beauty of it but at least he should acknowledge the other part behind the art or to inform me prior to using my work and concept.”

In an interview with Standard Style last year, Chidhakwa Chine Swagga said Feeler MaDon’ts is a song, which speaks on the does and don’ts on the streets of Zimbabwe.
“Zimbabwe is very hard for everyone and mostly the youths who have to endure unemployment, trying to make ends meet, take care of the family from a hand to mouth economy,” he said.
“Most of the youths in Zimbabwe are making their money from informal trading on the streets and the streets have its rules, the dos and don’ts for you to survive.
“One has to stick to his hustle and not mingle or get into the way of the other, discipline is a must if you want to last and make a living off the streets.
“Whatever you get make sure you try to invest in another hustle, don’t spend all you have got on booze and women. The informal sector has many casualties and the biggest is getting on the wrong side of the law so by any means try not to be on that side, avoid dealing in illicit deals.”
The Midlands State University Media studies graduate, who doubles as a disc jockey, says his name Chidhakwa Chine Swagga was inspired by his imbibing lifestyle and love for the brown bottle, which he described as his first love.
“When I joined the entertainment industry, I was called Platman Stylz before rebranding to Chidhakwa Chine Swagga, a moniker which describes my lifestyle,” he said.
“I am a heavy and careful drinker, I make drinking look cool hence fans and friends called me Chidhakwa chine Swagga.”
Meanwhile, Swagga released his new track titled Sinners Time last month.
