However, his increasingly boastful and dismissive attitude towards fans and fellow artists has led to a downward spiral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I used to be a huge fan of Holy Ten, but his constant bragging and disrespect towards others has turned me off. It&#8217;s like he&#8217;s forgotten where he came from.&#8221; said one digruntled fan Siza Mlambo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, the talented Zimbabwean rapper&#8217;s ego has landed him in murky waters nosediving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The self-proclaimed &#8220;KING&#8221; of the music scene fell flat on his face during a performance last week, leaving fans wondering if he&#8217;s been &#8220;smoking his own supply.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mina I think uBaba Ju kukhona asekuthatha cause his behaviour of late tells a lot and him falling on the stage reminds us abo Costa Titch. Kakhuzwe kusemasinya. And as from that day he fall angisamthandi and I deleted his songs from my phone sephapha uHoly Ten.&#8221; said a fan who refused with their identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all Holy Ten has been losing followers faster than a bad habit from his social media handles and it&#8217;s all because of his pride. It seems his &#8220;holier-than-thou&#8221; attitude has finally caught up with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He liked dissing other artists thinking he&#8217;s perfect forgetting that everyone has their own mistakes and that included him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has thrown salvos and spoke ill of Winky D, Enzo Ishal, Saintfloew, &#8220;thats being too forward&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And to add salt to injury, his former prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Saintflow has just signed with Virgin Records one of the biggest labels worldwide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about a &#8220;mic drop&#8221; moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holy Ten had previously dissed Saintflow, saying he was nothing without him. But it looks like Saintflow is having the last laugh after all &#8211; all the way to the bank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Saintfloew ahasi chunu ndini ndakamusimudzira, ndakamubvisa kumusha achiita zvema drugs ikozvino akuda kuzvedza se arinani&#8221; those were Holy Ten&#8217;s words before Saintfloew signed up with Virgin Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mandla Mazet, a fan put it across,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Holy Ten&#8217;s ego was his biggest enemy, and now he&#8217;s just a footnote in the music industry.&#8221; Ouch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looks like someone needs to take a &#8220;humble pill&#8221; and get back to making music instead of enemies. Until then, we&#8217;ll just be over here enjoying the &#8220;saintly&#8221; sounds of Saintflow&#8217;s success!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Am sure Holy Ten&#8217;s team is trying to do damage control, but it&#8217;s too little, too late. The writing&#8217;s on the wall &#8211; or in this case, the stage floor&#8221;, said Zinhle Sibanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one industry insider put it, &#8220;Holy Ten&#8217;s downfall is a classic case of &#8216;pride comes before a fall.&#8217; He forgot that in the music industry, you&#8217;re only as good as your last hit.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of hits, Saintflow&#8217;s latest single is topping the charts, while Holy Ten&#8217;s last release has been met with critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time for Holy Ten to take a step back, reassess his priorities, and remember why he started making music in the first place. Until then, we&#8217;ll just be over here enjoying the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBCTAINMENT\u00a92024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prominance Sinomusa Khumalo Zimbabwean music fans have turned their backs on once popular rapper Holy Ten, with his social media following taking a drastic hit in recent weeks.
