Veteran Zambian musician Macky2 has broken his silence on the ongoing situation surrounding fellow artist Muzo AKA Alphonso, urging the nation to move beyond social media debates and focus on tangible solutions to help their embattled colleague.
In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, Macky 2 expressed the difficulty of speaking on Muzo’s condition, given the sensitive nature of the matter. He wrote: “Muzo AKA Alphonso’s situation is so hard for me to speak on because so much has been said already. Out of respect for him and his family, I always choose to stay silent no matter how many times my name is dragged. #LesaFyeUmwine.”
Macky 2 emphasized the need for collective responsibility, challenging the country to reflect on its role in addressing Muzo’s struggles. He questioned why, despite years of public concern, Muzo’s situation remains unresolved.
“This is not the first time Muzo is trending like this. So ask yourself, why have we collectively as a country failed to help him after all these years? Instead of just typing, pointing fingers, and speculating, let’s do something right now,” he implored.
The rapper also condemned the circulation of disturbing images of Muzo, calling it an act that does little to help and only perpetuates negativity.
In a significant show of solidarity, Macky 2 revealed that prominent photographer Chellah Tukuta, along with others, has already pledged financial support toward helping Muzo. Matching Chellah’s pledge, Macky 2 promised to contribute as well, urging others to join the initiative.
“No more talking… LET’S HELP OUR BROTHER,” he declared, signaling a shift from words to meaningful action.
Macky 2’s statement has struck a chord with fans and industry players alike, reigniting conversations about the importance of mental health, rehabilitation, and community support for artists. His call to action serves as a powerful reminder that real change requires collective effort.
As the Zambian music industry rallies to support Muzo AKA Alphonso, it’s clear that his legacy and well-being are deeply valued. Fans and stakeholders are encouraged to join this movement to ensure that tangible help is provided to a national treasure who has given so much to the country’s music scene.
