Winky D, born Wallace Chirimuko and other local dancehall artists like Guspy Warrior were scheduled to perform with Capleton on New Year's Eve but it seems the show will continue without da Bigman.
Local promoters are known to exploit local musicians as they are forced to perform for free whilst their international counterparts pocket all the change. This dates back to 2008 when Joe Thomas pocketed $50 000 while Oliver Mtukudzi was offered $500 for the same show.
The "Musarowa big man" star officially announced that he is no longer part of the Capleton Zim Tour yesterday
Failure to reach common ground
Efforts by Blacklab Records which manages Winky D's affairs to iron out the issues with Red Rose Entertainment the promoters of Capleton were all in vain. Leaving no choice but to withdraw
