Drama as Cal_Vin, Jnr Brown fight

Bulawayo rapper Calvin was the most affected because from the moment he set foot in Harare, it was one misfortune after another. On Saturday while rehearsing for his Nama performance the next day, he was confronted by rap rival, Junior Brown who pushed and shoved him at the 7 Arts Theatre.

Jnr Brown, who has been fighting with Cal_Vin ever since he lost out at the Zim Hip Hop awards last year, apparently feels challenged by the Zikhupani hitmaker as he told him that he was losing money because of the Bulawayo rapper.

Cal_Vin said Junior Brown, accompanied by five friends, approached him and a scuffle ensued. Their fight was broken up by security personnel close by.

"I don't know what he wanted and I was surprised when I saw him confronting me. I actually laughed at him as I realised he was so desperate for attention. I feel sorry for him," said Cal_Vin.

"I heard him shouting that I was messing with his money and wondered what he was talking about."

As if that was not enough, Cal_Vin was dealt another blow during his Nama performance on Saturday as the sound died on him, a few seconds after he had started performing hit track - Zikhupani. He had no option but to leave the stage and plead with organisers to give him another slot – but that never happened.

As a result, he spent the greater part of the awards ceremony backstage nursing his wounds and hoping organisers would call him. He was, however, grateful for the love which fans had shown him in Harare.
