Rwandan musician Shizzo has released a new song titled 'Igobe', which translates to 'Enough' in English. The song is a response to critics who have been spreading what he claims are lies about him and his family. Shizzo says he decided to use music as a way to address his critics, rather than engaging in ordinary conversations that he believes are becoming too common.
In an interview with Inyarwanda, Shizzo explained that he was motivated to create 'Igobe' after being tired of hearing false information being spread about him. He claims that some individuals, including The Cat, Ddumba, and Kasuku, have been sharing lies about him and his family, which he believes are intended to tarnish his reputation and that of his family.
Shizzo's song 'Igobe' is inspired by the style of American rapper Kendrick Lamar, who recently engaged in a public feud with fellow rapper Drake. Kendrick Lamar's song 'Not Like Us' was a huge success, winning several awards, including Song of the Year and Best Written Song. Shizzo chose to use a similar style to convey his message to his critics.
However, Shizzo's situation is different from Kendrick Lamar's, as his critics are not rival musicians, but rather individuals who have been spreading false information about him and his family. Shizzo says he wants to use his music to defend his name and that of his family, rather than letting false information spread unchecked.
Shizzo's wife, Tessy, also known as Kayitesi Yvonne, has been a subject of criticism, with some people commenting on her English language skills. Shizzo says he wants to protect his family from such criticism and is using his music as a way to address these issues.
The song 'Igobe' is part of Shizzo's efforts to take control of his public image and respond to critics in a creative way. He believes that music can be a powerful tool for conveying messages and addressing issues, rather than simply engaging in ordinary conversations.
Shizzo's decision to release 'Igobe' comes at a time when he and his wife Tessy continue to be discussed in the entertainment media, with some people commenting on their relationship, personal life, and other issues. Shizzo says he wants to use his music to set the record straight and defend his family's reputation.
