Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Jiti musician Baba Harare, whose real name is Braveman Chizvino, has described ZANU PF sympathiser and preacher Passion Java, born Panganai Java, as a social media bully.<\/p>\n

Baba Harare and Java have been exchanging jibes on social media and their \u201ctiff\u201d reportedly escalated after the former urged youths to register to vote.<\/p>\n

Java also mocked Baba Harare, describing the musician as a spent force.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with NewsDay, Baba Harare said he was not fighting Java to get likes and loves on social media platforms. He said:<\/p>\n

Java is a bully. I do not like bullies, particularly on social media. I don\u2019t think Java needs a reason to start antagonising anyone.<\/p>\n

We might have bumped into each other on a few occasions, but I don\u2019t know Java personally.<\/p>\n

I believe a person should not be silent when insulted by a bully. My responses to him were meant to stand up against the shenanigans of bullies.<\/p>\n

Standing up against a bully is out of principle. My true fans understand this and, in fact, they have rallied behind me.<\/p>\n

We are encouraged as artistes that when someone is being unreasonably cruel, we should be quiet.<\/p>\n

I, however, don\u2019t subscribe to that because sometimes addressing issues is necessary.<\/p>\n

Java, like any bully, needs to be addressed. It is evident in the reaction to my retaliation to his nonsense that people are fed up with him.<\/p>\n

I think he is a very bad role model to society and his skewed perception of the world is damaging. So, when virtual paths are crossed, I had to tell him.<\/p>\n

Baba Harare recently released his seventh album titled Zimbabwean Giant<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The songs on the album are Haubvire<\/b>, which features Jah Prayzah, Wandibaya Moyo<\/b>, Ndauya<\/b> featuring dancehall singer Freeman and Dan Lu P, Madhunamutuna<\/b>, Munotichengeta<\/b> featuring gospel singer Munyaradzi Munodawafa, Akanaka<\/b>, Poto Inopisa<\/b> featuring Mai Titi, Terera Mitemo<\/b> featuring dancehall chanter Blot and Wazonditenderedza Pfungwa<\/b> featuring urban groover ExQ.<\/p>\n
