ANOTHER Billie Jean movement and this time ita��s for Extra Basso!
a�?Alick Macheso is my father and I wish to emulate him through the release of my first album entitled Kuteera matsimba ababa (following daddya��s footsteps),a�? said one Paul Macheso.
The unheralded artiste made serious claims that his father is Alick Macheso together with his twin sister Charity.
The claim, if true, would make Baba Shero a father of seven.
a�?We are seven in our family, Sheron, Monalisa, Stacy, Shingi, Charity, Macdonald, Rutendo and of course myself,a�? said Paul who somewhat resembles the sungura ace.
Paul asserts that their mother, Patience Ndlovu died in 1999 and they began staying with their aunt Pauline.
a�?Because our aunt could not take care of us, we were then taken to Dominican Sisters Convent orphanage in Silobela where we then grew up,a�? he alleges.
Paul said the two siblings got to know their father in 2011 after Alick was approached by their mothera��s relatives.
a�?After meeting him in 2011, he vowed to take care of us and gave us a Nissan Caravan which I am currently using to ply the Gokwe-Kwekwe route to make ends meet,a�? he further said.
His twin, Charity, is a teacher at a primary school while he resides in Sesame 1 Gokwe.
Charity declined to give any insight.
a�?I dona��t discuss my private life with the media,a�? she saidA� before hanging up.
Paul said his father encouraged him to take up music as a career hence the decision to come up with his debut album.
a�?I am currently working with Peter Moyo and Tryson Chimbetu on my debut offering entitled Kutevera matsimba ababa (following fathera��s footsteps).a�?
Neither Peter nor Tryson could be reached to confirm the development as their mobile phones went unanswered.
Paul, however, said the six-track album was being finalised by Metro Studios and due for release in October.
Alick Macheso, however, scoffed at the claims.
a�?I dona��t know of anyone like that and all my children are here with me. I stay with them,a�? he said.
