BIG ZULU: ‘IT’S DIFFICULT TO BE A MUSICIAN’

The musician Siyabonga Nene aka Big Zulu wore a leather jacket with a R15 000 price tag and social media users could not stop commenting on it.

According to Daily Sun, South Africans accused him of showing off that his jacket cost about R15 000, while others revealed he kept the price tag so he could return the jacket to the store the next day. 

Though the rapper couldn’t explain why he was wearing the leather jacket with the price tag, he revealed on his social media that it’s painful that people are always ready to attack them.

“Today, I’m opening up. It is difficult to be a musician. We always face insults, and hate and are always insulted and called bad names on Twitter and Facebook.

“People are always on standby to attack us. In this industry, you don’t know your enemy and your friend.”

Nene asked fans to stop and show respect as musicians work hard to change lives and change the lives of their parents and the lives of their children.

“In this work, we thank God if we wake up and get another chance where there is nothing people are insulting or attacking us trying to find the mistake. All I ask is respect and thank all those who are still able to respect other people,” he said.
