Wasafi Records signee and award winning artist Zuchu Othman Sound better known by her stage name as Zuchu has turn down an endorsement deal worth $108,000 from an alcoholic brand.
In defense the songbird said that, she rejected the deal to preserve her religious beliefs and depicts she finds it hard to endorse a product she doesn’t consume. She further notes that, it would not have been fair to advertise something she doesn’t consume.
Furthermore her Muslim mother who is also a Tanzanian Music legend (Khadija Kopa) warned her against promoting alcoholic beverages.
The fans on the other hand had their own thoughts about her defense mechanism. Hassan on Facebook comments that, “Music itself is haram. Kwegambe She choose which haram she should avoid and which to indulge in. Sadly that’s a reality to many of us Muslims.
Wan on Facebook also commented saying,” I know She preserving religion but does her church encourage them to do those hairstyles cos to my view she is not making sense at all.
