A few days ago, he posted a heartwarming message on his Facebook page explaining why his heart remains in Zambia musically and otherwise.

“Umupondo Checking in …! Tsikomo! This is the nickname given to me by Zambians. Amazing! I was told ‘Umupondo’ means someone who is Mighty and Strong and cannot be controlled by anyone or anything. This fits perfectly with the independent grind I have been on since the beginning of this journey. I love and accept this name,” he captioned a post where he displays a T-shirt with the name ‘Umupondo’ engraved in it.

He also told Zambians that he has a new song for them as his first collaboration with an African artist. It is not yet clear which Zambian rapper he collaborated with.
