BONGANI: ‘I JUST HAD TO RETURN TO THE CREATIVE PROCESS’
In his Morning Live interview, the ex-member of Jozi shared insights about his new personal musical journey:
“I had to return to the creative process. Brenda Fassie, my late mother, always represented her roots in her music. She had a connection with the people from her hometown,” he began.
“Langa is my hometown, and Skomline is its nickname,” he continued.
NOT HIS FIRST TIME CATCHING ATTENTION WITH HIS MUSIC
Bongani, known for his extravagant spending and the sole child of the legendary artist Brenda Fassie, often finds himself at the center of controversy.
Back in 2015, he launched a rather controversial track titled Stretcher featuring Shae Mix and PusherBeats, where he took jabs at fellow hip-hop artists including Maggz, K.O, and Slikour.
Thabiso Khathi, co-founder of Cashtime Life, remarked that the Cashtime rappers will not retaliate to the diss track, suggesting that Bongani isn’t honoring his mother’s legacy.
“I believe he’s gaining attention solely because Brenda was an iconic figure, and he’s her son, which is the reason people are focused on him right now,” he mentioned.
“He’s actually doing a disservice to his mother’s memory at this point. He ought to refrain from speaking out,” he concluded.
