DJ Shimza found himself in the hot seat over the weekend after he asked a fan to stop “harassing” him.
The hitmaker stored up a lot of deep feels when he responded to DJ Ceega Wa Meropa’s request to feature on his Channel O lockdown love gigs by telling the DJ he should stop harassing him.

“ You need to stop harassing me, it’s annoying,” Shimza said, adding that the DJ kept mentioning him on twitter.
Social media users called out Shimza for being “rude” and called for his music to be boycotted.
The hashtag #ShimzaMustFall was treading on twitter and Shimza apologised for his comments.

“I apologise for snapping at you, especially because I’m a hustler myself. I should have been more understanding. It was in no way a personal attack or anything of the sort.
“Once again guys, I apologise to everyone I have offended. I must always remember to hold myself to a higher standard. Marino fatse, “ he wrote.
I’ve spoken to ama grootman and they have explained that more is expected of me and in hindsight my response regrettable; I should not have been frustrated because people are just looking for opportunities like I am.

These are difficult times for all us & @Shimza01 is no exception. His reaction, however regrettable, must be seen as human. I hope he acknowledges that he has erred, retract, & we can all move on to support his great initiative meant to support all artists from all walks of life!

Never be shaken by rubbish young man @Shimza01. You worked very hard to be where you are and can't be destroyed by those who suffer from self-hate. Apology accepted, now continue playing good music.
