Mumba Yachi in public split from fellow artiste Wezi

Afro-soul sensation Mumba Yachi has caused a social media firestorm after he announced his break up with fellow musician Wezi on his Facebook Page.

The two talented artistes, who had been dating for some time, where widely considered a ‘match made in Afro-soul heaven’ and their public split has been received with shock and angst among their dedicated fans.

To their credit, their parting of ways seems amicable enough, with the former lovebirds having some nice things to say about each other, although Mumba Yachi’s rather cryptic reference to Prince’s iconic ‘Purple Rain’ song suggests a juicy love triangle may be behind the split.

“Every Era has got an END,” Mumba Yachi posted on Facebook.

“It is that time in our-story we have to take a bow and continue with our separate ways. I am proud of knowing you and the ART we produced together. Those who insulted me because I was with you,can now have their champagne. Like PRINCE I can say; ” I never meant to cause you any sorrow…baby I can never steal you from another”…
I will always respect you Wezi.God bless you. UMUNG’O.”

Wezi responded by sharing her former flame’s post and saying: “Gravity happened. Life at it’s full display, the downward pull… what goes up must surely come down. As the haters celebrate and bloggers start to blog. The audience that demanded their truth, there you have it. I hope it’s everything you wanted & so much more.

“Remember that the end of an error is the beginning of a new one. We will always be the thieves that stole from each other, Umungo. Long live the king Mumba Yachi.”
