Zambian R&B star T-Low has taken to Facebook to challenge the negative stereotypes often associated with musicians, especially when it comes to love, responsibility, and relationships.
In a powerful statement, he wrote: “Bapapa umwaice twamupa ‘Chilanga Mulilo’, Bridal Shower na White Wedding. Tata, kaili society has painted a wrong picture about musicians bamona kwati tatwaba responsible or being an artiste changes the human behavior in you.”
T-Low’s message calls out societal biases that suggest artists, especially male musicians, are not worthy of commitment or capable of being responsible partners. By highlighting the full traditional wedding rites, Chilanga Mulilo, Bridal Shower, and White Wedding, he reminds his audience that artists are human beings first, with the same capacity for love, loyalty, and responsibility.
His words resonate with many in the creative industry who constantly battle to be seen beyond their stage personas. T-Low continues to use both his music and voice to uplift the image of Zambian artists not just as entertainers, but as worthy members of society.
