UPCOMING dancehall chanter, Young Fantan, is proving to be a man of many talents after venturing into acting through captivating social media skits.
Born Nicholas Mubaiwa, Young Fantan (23), has become a hit with his social media skits, leaving his fans wondering whether he has abandoned his music for acting.
However, the “Ma Ex Munonzwa Neni” singer said this was just a strategic move.
“The skits are actually a strategic move to engage more with my fans at a deeper level.
“Inini ndoita maskits kuti ndigare ndiri muvanhu, uye kuti vanhu vasakanganwe face yangu.
“The bottom line is to appeal and interact with a large audience more intimately, leveraging social media as a tool to build a loyal following,” said Young Fantan.
He has also dismissed claims that he is a spent force.
“I am still the same entertainer and I don’t just mix the two even though the audience loves my other side.
“My music remains my primary focus and I will be releasing a new song on Tuesday titled ‘MaJealousy’, featuring Majesty.
“Handisanganisi music ne maskits, when I am on stage I give it my all and I also take a break kuma skirts while focusing on releasing new songs,” he said.
He added:
“Despite the fact that doing both music and skits allows me to connect with fans, they have also earned me a few endorsements with local businesses that approach me to advertise their brands.
“Maskits anokurumidza kusvika kuvanhu, zvekuti ikozvino ndakutozivikanwa nevanhu,” he said.
Young Fantan said he doesn’t believe in dissing other musicians.
“I want to set the record clear why I have never registered for the cup clashes, inini I prioritise creating meaningful connections with audiences over competing with other musicians.”
