The rivalry between Zimdancehall artistes Silent Killer and Blot has reached a fever pitch, spiralling from a friendly freestyle clash to a bitter feud filled with accusations, alleged acts of sabotage, and even threats of physical violence.
The latest chapter in this ongoing saga unfolded at the recent Harare Cup Clash, where the drama spilled off-stage and into the parking lot.
Silent Killer, known for his hit song “Silent Killer,” has made a shocking allegation against Blot’s manager, David “Diva” Shilline, claiming that Shilline defecated in his manager’s car as a malicious act.
“I do not hold grudges with anyone, including those who hate me, but I am surprised that instead of coming to clash with me on stage, they (Blot and his manager) were busy defecating in my manager’s car,” Silent Killer (born Jimmy Mudereri) charged.
Silent Killer’s manager, Obvious ‘Obvie’ Gurure, confirmed the incident, although he couldn’t definitively pinpoint the culprit.
“Yes, it is true that human waste was found in our car. I personally cannot pinpoint anyone,” Obvie said.
He explained that the team discovered the foul surprise after their set, having left the car in the care of Shilline.
According to Obvie, Shilline had gained access to the car after convincing one of Silent Killer’s team members, Shattawalle, to hand over the keys. Obvie explained that Shilline had asked for the keys under the pretense of needing to transport Blot. It was during this time that the alleged act of defecation took place.
Upon their return, the team was greeted by a pungent smell that quickly revealed the disturbing incident. “Diva only brought the car keys back after our set. However, that is when we discovered that someone had defecated in one of our vehicles. They had used it as a toilet! We tried to investigate who was responsible since we had travelled as a team,” Obvie continued.
Obvie stated that their investigations pointed towards Shilline. “I cannot say for a fact that Blot’s manager was responsible, but our investigations are pointing to that,” he said.
He further elaborated, “Remember, we had two cars. There was someone in Silent Killer’s car all the time and he is the one who told us that he first witnessed Diva urinating in the car and he confronted him.”
Silent Killer’s manager went on to explain that the confrontation with Shilline ended when Shilline showed him the car keys, claiming ownership.
“He did not know who he (Diva) was and he only backed down when he showed him the car keys, claiming ownership. His descriptions of the guy matched Diva. Besides, he is the one who had the car keys when we were on stage. Silent Killer then told me that it was Blot’s manager who had been spotted doing the ‘unholy’ act.”
Blot, whose real name is Takura Chiwoniso, is not taking the accusations lightly.
“My lawyers have asked me not to respond to Silent Killer’s public allegations that my manager, Diva, defecated in one of his cars. Legal action is following soon over that issue,” Blot said.
He added, “I am not afraid of any stage or anyone since birth; I only fear God. I have overcome challenges in my life, and I do not consider him (Silent Killer) to be a threat to my music career.”
Blot, in a defiant tone, declared, “I was born to silence noisemakers, and I will do just that with him. I am ready to clash with him.”
When contacted by The Sunday Mail Entertainment, Shilline refused to comment, stating that Blot’s response was sufficient.
“The comment I gave you was not mine; it was from the artiste (Blot). I simply follow his instructions. He is currently busy in the studio working on his new album and preparing for its launch,” he said.
