Silent Killer hits back — ‘I don’t owe any apology to UK SAMA Fest organisers’
CONTROVERSIAL Zimdancehall artist Jimmy Mudereri, also known as ‘Silent Killer’ who is facing a US$122,000 lawsuit for alleged breach of contract, is adamant he does owe anyone an apology.
Music promotions company, Y2K Entertainment, the organisers of the UK SAMA Festival, recently issued a letter of demand to the Mbare-born artist after he failed to attend a gig scheduled for April 2025.
Silent Killer missed the festival after refusing to board a flight, citing a troubling dream about an airplane explosion.
Despite checking in at Robert Mugabe International Airport, he backed out at the last minute, prompting the organisers to buy a second flight ticket costing $1,500, but he locked himself in a toilet to avoid flying.
Y2K Entertainment claims Silent Killer breached his performance contract, resulting in significant financial losses and reputational damage which has now led them to send a letter of demand for a total amount of US$122,170, within seven days.
In an interview with ZimboLive, Silent Killer, said he doesn’t owe anyone an apology.
“I don’t owe anybody an apology. I am asking for an apology from them because somehow I think that they think that the law works for them or belongs to them. Even I can be protected by the law. If it’s a crime, a magistrate is going to determine that. The law is going to determine that,” said a defiant Silent Killer.
He went on to warn that he is under the protection of Prophet Walter Magaya if they dare to poke him.
“I read that letter and I can’t say sorry that I was the one who leaked. The letter was sent to my lawyers, this is between the lawyers. Remember I’m the son of Prophet Magaya, so whatever you plan on me, rains will pour,” said Silent Killer.
In the letter of demand, Y2K Entertainment alleges that they incurred substantial expenses, including cost of three airfare tickets and various payments made to facilitate his travel and Visa application.
“We are instructed by our client to demand, as we hereby do; that you pay the sum of USD122, 170 (One hundred and twenty-two thousand one hundred and seventy United States Dollars) which amount is now due to our client and must be paid within seven (7) days of being served with this letter.
“You are also further expected to pay US$12, 217 (Twelve thousand two hundred and seventeen United States dollars) being our collection commission,” reads part of the letter. NewZimbabwe
