Zambian Hip-hop artiste Macky 2 has defended his decision to perform at PF functions saying he has a right to do so because he believes in President Edgar Lungu.
Macky 2 is one of the musicians who have come under widespread criticism from some sections of society for turning up at the PF National Campaign launch rally at Heroes Stadium recently.
But Macky 2 took to Facebook said he is PF but that he is an artist first whose political opinion has always been favor and fear free.
“To all you politicians out there, wrong is wrong and when you step out of line I will speak out without caring what political party you belong to or what position you hold because I have a responsibility, not only to entertain but to speak for, inform, education and inspire people through my music,” he said.
He added, “To all my people out there. PF hasn’t done anything for me as an individual and sometimes I even refuse to go and perform at some events because they don’t pay me enough for what I do.”
“So please understand that every time I stand on a PF platform to perform. it’s simply because I believe in Edgar Lungu, not because of the money. In fact, East Point Disco pays me more than PF for an event.”
He said he has endorsed President Lungu because he has sat down and listened to him talk.
“I have heard from the horse’s mouth, I know the passion he has for Zambia and how much he wants to transform our people’s lives. I believe with no doubt in my mind that he is the man for the job. that’s why I do it,’ he said.
“Someone inboxed me this morning saying the PF used civil servants salary money to pay for our performances at the stadium. after reading that I found it very sad that people actually think like that. I am in America right now sleeping on a king size bed in a 5-star hotel. not because of PF but because of my hard work. Am a superstar Incase you forgot.”
“Lastly, I pray for peace in our country, I pray for a time when we will respect each other’s opinions no matter how different, I pray for a time when supporters of UPND, PF, MMD nabambi nabambi can sit down and debate peacefully… like the way me, Pilato and Petersen do.
Apanga, ameeya Mark II, kalilo Its “donchi kubeba” from the other side now, Lol
I believe in Edar Lungu????…….As if your opinion matters! atase!
@Mwambama, and does your opinion matter? Let him speak his mind and also speak yours.
Mwambama,
Zambia can do without people like you.
Yes, he believes in no vision and failure to deliver a manifesto. The infrastructure they are sontaling equals only $1 billion. where is the rest of the $6-7billion they got kaloba? Mark 2 is proud of a person who is spending money which the government doesn’t even have.
Fools never see the wrongs.. So is this chap
Pure case of failures supporting other failures!!! Who is Macky 2. Chapwa!!!! Ain’t buying your stupid music no more. Let Edgar and Esther support you.
thats the way mark11
That’s the way to go mark 2 if anything hh has more money than ecl, if u wanted u could have joined him but now that u are wise & u can’t be bought hence upnd supporters have found it very painful that u did not support their unsaleable man full of jealous & envy
I am glad I believe in myself and my abilities.
HIP HOP Artist? are you sure, thats my genre how come I have never heard of him? LT bring personalities that matter not these tuma musicians twamu ma tavern! sha…..
Zambian music bwana. If you don’t know him, ask the people that do.
AT THE MOMENT AND SINCE I WAS BORN IT IS ONLY PF WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS IN ONE GO THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY OR IN EVERY CORNER OF THE COUNTRY. AT THE SAME TIME IT IS EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT HE CAN CARRY ON HIS PREDECESSOR’S PLANS AND PROJECTS, FINISH THEM AND CONTINUE WITH THE REST AND EVEN BRING IN HIS PLANS AND PROJECTS. WE HAVE SEEN OVER YEARS HOW ALL HAVE BEEN ABANDONING PROJECTS, IF ANY, BY THEIR PREDECESSORS. AND NATUMONA IFYO BANSHIKE IMISEBO BA PF. GIVEN MORE CHANGE, LUNGU WILL PERFORM WONDERS. POVERTY WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST. ECL IS SMART- INGE WINA IS LOYAL AND HARD WORKING SO HE DECIDED TO RETAIN HER AS RUNNING MATE. WISH YOU THE BEST ALL WITH ECL AND INONGE WINA.
Dude! Caps lock button is not that far away. Nobody is going to read your comment when every letter is capitalised!
Lol Trust me,
This peter is an 1.diot He thinks he is screaming. Just imagine how he treats his wife and kids. He wont Listen.
Kekekekeke
Yaba! Can’t you summarize ayi? Your long capitalized speech will not make us change our minds anyway!!!! Viva UPND!
@ Peter you surely are a child and have not studied Zambian history.90% of these roads that that are being tarred were constructed during the 1st and 2nd National Development Plan periods in the 60s and there is nothing unprecedented about what is happening.Just like in the 60s the infrastructure was funded from loans which were just eventually written off after hocking the country for 40 years.The difference is that the $10 billion borrowed by PF minions will never be written off and will choke the next 4 generations of Zambians to perpetual poverty.
@5 u are not Zambian not knowning Mark 2?
THAT’S KOPALA DUDE. ITS FA MUKOLO PF.
“Someone inboxed me this morning saying the PF used civil servants salary money to pay for our performances at the stadium. after reading that I found it very sad that people actually think like that. I am in America right now sleeping on a king size bed in a 5-star hotel. not because of PF but because of my hard work. Am a superstar Incase you forgot.”
my thoughts too. when did sleeping on a king bed become an achievement?? stupid guy
kopala musicians ni so chabe. ukopo sana
You can believe in him because both of you are clueless,visionless,useless,directionless,heartless,hopeless,dullness,needless,brainless,ruthless and a drunkard.
Every person has a free will to follow their conscious! Let no man impose his will on others, just as ‘mandevu pilato has endorsed hh, let no one undermine Mark2 for his choice- Meanwhile, Ifintu NiLungu- Mr Walk The Talk!
Birds of the same feathers flock together Macky was arrested for copper theft and Edgar chakolwa kaloba Wrungu was stealing from clients records are their Laz.
Way to go mack 2!!WE ARE TOGETHER IN PF!!” UMUNTU NI LUNGU-2016!!!GO PF GO!!
Atase bamakaka,where we you ? Go to the offices,ubupuba
Let them keep on crying Mack 2 inmbama
The way Pilato has endorsed hh so as Macky II endorsed ELC. Leave him alone haters
but pilato’s endorcement is evidence based
‘..evidence based..’ – sonta?
These are the chaps who are being paid civil servants salaries to perform at PF’s political consents. What do you expect from the chap who has been paid? It is praise and sing for his god Edgar. Remember this is the chap who had his studio in kanyama burnt to ashes. So raise some money mwana to revamp your studio.
I was a such a huge fun and keen follower of this ka Monkey.Well,now,i think he has crossed the line with arrogance.If i was him,i wud ve thought of my career first,and if u are a musician,yo career are the people that listen to yo music.Different people:PF,UPND,FDD,UNIP,Lame people,blind people,deaf people,Ghetto and City people,Skimmy & Big.Therefore his comment is very stupid.Its like saying”Fat people make me laugh every time i perform”.Let me just say that his comment is the beggining of the end of his career.Because now,all his funs from opp parties will stop going to his concerts.And count how many people pa Zed are NON PF at the moment?This fool doesnt even realise that some of his big sponsors he is claiming belong to oppostion parties.Hehehehheheh

What is it with Zambian musicians.It is like they are all numbskulls.So now he believes Edgar is using his money.It is good the 1diot has showed us who he is.I have never bought any of his music or attended any of his shows and I amd determined to keep it that way.
I am voting for ECL and have always loved macky2’s music!! Lololo!!!!!
In Zambia ignorance yena ni pamushi. Imagine some illiterate calling him or her self mentioning the Zambian debt which is not factual. I wonder what their sources of their data. Bane b4 u embrass us a pipo pls try to research online on specifics so that even when u cite something in your blog it is near the truth. Ati US$6 billion! Since u have access to internet check website like world bank..and UN agencies and the local sites like MOF..
No vision plus auto tune equals Makitu.
WHO IS MACKY 2 TO ZAMBIAS
AT WHAT PRICE? YOU ARE A DOWN AND OUT ARTIST AND IF THE MONEY IS RIGHT OFCOURSE YOU WILL BELIEVE IN HIM. AT THE END OF IT ALL WE ALL HAVE OUR CHOICE, IT IS YOUR RIGHT.
…..I am in America right now sleeping on a king size bed in a 5-star hotel. not because of PF but because of my hard work. Am a superstar Incase you forgot…….
And this is where the scripture, which cannot be broken, kicks in….
Proverbs 8:13 Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 29:23 One’s pride will bring him low. Obadiah 1:3 The pride of your heart has deceived you. 1 Timothy 6:4 He is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace.
