Legendary Hip Hopper, G.N.L Zamba has come out to defend his fellow rapper, Big Tril against social media trolls.
For the past days, we reported that the Striker Entertainent singer was facing the wrath of fans over a tweet he made asking them to always buy artists' music. They called him all sorts of names;proud, one hit wonder. They accused him of using the one popular song he has to overrate his importance in the music industry.
In replies, fans told him to be humble and warned against disrespecting him, also noting that they can break him, the same way they made him.
G.N.L felt disrespected and had to stand up for Big Tril. In a series of tweets, G.N.L Zamba un-apologetically lashed out at fans who think rappers have no right to brag about their success.
"Don’t be mad at a rap artist for bragging about triumph! That is like telling a fish not to use its fin, Telling a painter not to use their best brush, It is telling a player not celebrate after scoring a goal. Every song is a championship here Don’t ask us to be humble, Level up!
"To be Hiphop is to unpologeticaly express ones self. Most of y’all are faking the humility anyway! so you are intimidated when you see people being themselves. Rap is an art of expression, I can be respectful but won’t dim my shine so you can feel better about your insecurities!"
"Where is this coming from? I have been reading the thread of “fans” attacking a hardworking artist claiming they made him. I know the artist have worked with him and know he is a decent human being too decent in-fact compared to the riff ruff out there. That this society has bred"
"The Ugandan fan wants to get free music, free ticket, free t shirt and on top of that expect the artist to kneel at thank them at the concert that era & generation of artists that did that ends here. They do that to feed egos but inadvertently have also perpetuated a disease"
"In our society where every citizen & worker thinks his Opinion should be heard before that of the “Mugoma”. They are still stuck on the era of the uneducated stereotypical musician who lacks the confidence and market acumen and is expected to beg. This generation is different"
"We demand to be respected like we respect you, we will be supported on our own terms. This music is a gift from the heavens that we share. It benefits all of us as a society & represents us even where PR & marketing have failed. The artists shall not be bullied, muzzled or Intimidated, Support so we can build value or leave! We shall work with the few that believe in the vision. What we will not do is dim or compromise our expression & dignity. We understand our markets better than you and think of our careers more times in a day than you... "
