In the video, which was played in slow motion, Zola 7 can be seen giving Ammunition a long glance after the incident. This sparked concerns among fans and users on the platform, who expressed worries about the safety of the beloved Kwaito star.
One user, @RealKingChauke, expressed their horror at the incident, stating, “This is a bit disturbing…” Another user, @bomb_sak, provided some insight into the situation, explaining that such actions were more of a greeting or salute rather than disrespect, emphasizing that things were different back in the day.
However, not everyone shared the same sentiment. User @BaFooks expressed their amazement, asking, “We must protect Zola from Ammunition?” User @NeoThafeng pointed out that Ammunition was never a successful musician, implying that his actions may have been driven by jealousy or resentment.
While some users brushed off the incident as a mere salute, others, like @Zikamnyamane, suggested that it could also be a hint for potential danger. They mentioned that such gestures are sometimes used as a signal for hired hitmen, known as izinkabi.
