Questions are being raised within Zambia’s entertainment industry following reports that musicians, including Rich Bizzy, Chester, Shenky and Kadafi, may have been removed from performance rosters for certain national events.
The reports emerged shortly after the artists were seen performing at an event associated with presidential aspirant Brian Mundubile.
While details surrounding the matter remain unclear, Zambia Association of Musicians (ZAM) president B Flow has reportedly confirmed that Rich Bizzy was removed from various performance lists within the last 24 hours.
At the time of publication, no official government statement has been released explaining the reasons behind the reported changes.
The development has sparked debate among fans, artists and industry stakeholders, with many questioning whether musicians should face professional consequences based on the political events they choose to perform at.
Others argue that event organizers have the right to determine which artists appear on their platforms, particularly where public events and national celebrations are concerned. As discussions continue online, many are calling for greater clarity regarding the criteria used to select performers for national events.
For now, the full circumstances remain unclear, and more information is expected as stakeholders provide further explanations.
This remains a developing story.
