munyaZimbabwe’s Munya Chidzonga, who came second in the just ended Big Brother All-Stars remains open about his disappointment when he didn’t win the $200,000 prize money, just as the expression on his face at the finale suggested. In a telephone conversation the Big Brother star commented: “to be honest, I was devastated. I really expected that this time, I was going to go home with the prize”.

According to Munya, who was tipped to win by many viewers across the continent, he had no idea why the results didn’t go in his favour. “I can only think it was a change of heart from Africa. It was pretty close, I don’t know how the votes shifted in the end,” he commented. He also added that even though he missed out on the $200,000, he took home $2,000, a pat on the back and a world of great exposure.

He recounted having dinner in the sky as his biggest highlight from the Big brother All Stars experience. He also enjoyed the free-styling he did in the house because he feels that, it helped to hone his rapping skills. According to him, he formed a good bond with particularly with fellow housemates, Kaone, Code, and Tatiana but had a cordial relation with everyone else.

Munya also commented that with the Big Brother experience behind him, he is looking forward to the premiere of his short film titled ‘Lobola (Bride Price)’, slated for November 25 in Zimbabwe. ‘Lobola’ is a comedy about three brothers who return to Zimbabwe after living in the US for 15 years. Munya’s character in a bid to take over a family business is forced to get married before he can take over the business. The movie explores the bridal process of Zimbabwe in a witty way.  Apart from playing the lead in the movie, Munya also co-produced it.

According to the Munya, he hopes that the Big Brother experience would also give him more movie opportunities across the continent. “Film making is what I really want to do and it was one of the bases for my stint in the Big Brother House. I wanted to gain the platform to make and sell commercial films. I definitely have dreams of working all over the continent from Ghana to Cape Town, to Nigeria. If the script is right and the opportunity presents itself, I will grab the bull by the horn”.

He also remarked that if he had to make a film about his experience in the Big Brother house, it would be a horror movie. “I think I would make a horror movie where people keep going missing from the house; strange things keep happening and the whole house goes haywire”.

Munya also hinted that wedding bells could be ringing his way pretty soon, since he started going through the whole Lobola process back in Zimbabwe before entering the Big Brother House.  He however said when the right time comes; all of Africa would get to know of it.

Ice Spice remix stamps Cash Cobain’s “Fisherrr” as the Song of the Summer

Published

on

Ice Spice

Billboard Rookie of the Month, and multi-hyphenate NYC star, Cash Cobain has just linked up with Ice Spice for the long-awaited video remix for “Fisherrr”(feat. BaySwag) [18m+ Streams]. After bubbling the past few years with R-rated anthems over his own ethereal production – creating the playful “sexy drill” sound that he’s pioneered and taken to mainstream heights, Cash Cobain is stamping himself as a serious song of the summer contender with this remix.

Following up his two smash singles “Dunk Contest” (8m+) and “Fisherrr” (pronounced, ‘for sure), Cash is primed for his moment in the spotlight ––  hitting 1M Monthly Listeners on Spotify, Top 3 NYC Shazam Charts, having occupied the #1 + #3 slots of the NYC Apple Music Charts, hitting #45 on the Urban Radio Charts and counting, and now landing Ice Spice’s third feature ever  –– in the words of COMPLEX, “the summer of 2024 is looking very slizzy”. On the highly-anticipated remix, Ice Spice is simply in top-tier shape.

Adding her signature magnetic ‘it-girl’ flair, charming cadence, and instantly-coinable one-liners, she bolsters the lightning-hot single into astronomical territory with the opening lines –– “Got an attitude but I’m feelingless, so I ain’t mad at you, And I’m tatted too on this fatty-tude, I’m the baddest boo”.

The long-overdue collab from the two Bronx natives is seamless, with her being a tailor-fit alongside the ethereal, dreamy production and silky smooth verses from Bay Swag and Cash. With the recent releases of “Dunk Contest” (watch Genius ‘Open Mic’)  and now the Ice Spice-assisted remix for “Fisherrr” (feat. BaySwag), Cash Cobain is using his collaborative momentum from last year to continue elevating his signature sound, showcasing its influential and ever-growing widespread appeal in the process. In the words of Cash:“It’s a beautiful record. It feels amazing, it feels like NYC is back stronger than ever with me and Spice -– two Bronx legends. Get ready for the song of the summer.” 

Last month, Cash took over NYC with his birthday show, ‘Slizzyfest’ at Irving Plaza –– a night that was slated as a stacked lineup of NY’s finest, with rumors of an A-list superstar surprise set. After chatter spread online and the hype reached a fever pitch, the crowd became too much to handle and the show was ultimately canceled –– but Cash wanted to give the fans their money’s worth so he ventured into Union Square and threw a makeshift show with his crew, a Bluetooth speaker, and hundreds of adoring fans (read ‘I Went to Cash Cobain’s Slizzyfest and All I Got Was That Classic NYC Feeling’ via Rolling Stone + statement in Billboard).

Also in Billboard, Cash recently teased potential collaborations with Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Don Toliver (seen filming a music video here), Lil Yachty and more –– a surefire sign of the worldwide stardom soon to come. These recent releases arrive on the heels of a career-defining year in 2023 that closed with the production of PinkPantheress“Nice To Meet You” (feat. Central Cee), which debuted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 (he also starred alongside her in a nationally-syndicated Apple commercial for the new MacBook).

This was preceded by producing Drake’s “Calling For You” (feat. 21 Savage), which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, DJ’ing at Travis Scott‘s Cactus Jack x Audemars Piguet event, and releasing his critically-acclaimed debut solo album Pretty Girls Love Slizzy with Giant Music.
