“Make sure your brain is mature enough to understand my music or else you will forever never know what I talk about. Akapondo mumadango,” he wrote on Facebook.

Muzo had his fans confused with metaphors in his lyrics on KB Killa Beats’ ‘My Diary 11’. Some of Muzo’s fans had a hard time understanding his lyrics in the song. Some say that he is confused but the truth is Muzo’s artistic nature is pegged on the use of metaphors as a stylistic device in his music.

In one of his lines, for example, Muzo says “kuli bonse efyo ndomba menshi [what I ask for from everyone is water]. The interpretation behind this is that he doesn't ask for too much from anyone. But something as little as water - which is figurative for love - is all he needs because everyone can offer it.
