JAH Prayzah (JP)’s manager Keen Mushapaidze has dismissed
claims that the Military Touch Movement (MTM) label has been used to push his
own brand at the expense of other artistes under the same stable.
This followed concerns that Jah Prayzah (pictured) was
increasingly the dominant artiste in the recording stable — which he
established in 2017 — while its other members including ExQ and Nutty O are
being overshadowed.
A former member of the movement, Andy Muridzo, left
following claims that his brand was slowly being swallowed.
Mushapaidze, however, told NewsDay Life & Style that
Jah Prayzah established MTM to help the artistes enhance their profiles and
realise their dreams.
“MTM was formed by Jah Prayzah to create a movement that
would help in the growth of our entertainment sector. Our values do not include
pulling down other artistes, but instead helping each other get to the top
together and help them achieve their dreams,” he said.
“We last performed as MTM some time back. It does not make
sense for people to say JP has all the stage time yet every MTM artiste has
their own shows while representing MTM wherever they are.”
Meanwhile, Jah Prayzah is expected to perform at the One
Africa Music Fest in New York, United States, on August 10.
Musicians including Wyclef Jean, Tiwa Savage, Diamond
Platinum and Burna Boy are also billed to perform at the festival.
Jah Prayzah has done several local and international
collaborations with musicians including Nigerian star Davido, Tanzanian Diamond
Platnumz and South Africa’s Mafikizolo.
The musician has also penned a track for the Warriors,
currently at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, titled Fambai Ne Bhora. The
song is now trending online. Newsday
