HARARE – Controversial Zimdancehall musician, Silent Killer refused to board a flight in Harare for a United Kingdom gig claiming he had a dream the plane was going to “explode”.
The Hatitongwi nemasalad chanter had checked in at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport together with other musicians but mysteriously retreated and went back to his car, promoter Fred Matenga of Y2K Promotions told a news conference.
The musician, known for abusing drugs and alleged lack of professionalism, could not board the flight, leading to the promotion team securing another ticket for US$1,500 to board an evening flight.
But the musician repeated his antics moments before his second flight and went on to lock himself in a toilet at the airport to avoid being importuned to board the plane.
“Silent Killer refused to board a UK-bound flight because he had a dream it would explode. He locked himself in the airport toilet,” Matenga said.
Silent Killer was billed to perform alongside other top Zimbabwe artists, among them, Alick Macheso and Mambo Dhuterere at the SAMA Festival UK 2025 in Leicester on Saturday.
The musician’s behaviour spotlights on rampant drug abuse among youths in Zimbabwe’s populous suburbs commonly referred to as ghettos.
