AN image of Freeman with a gun will NOW always court controversy — one way or the other.
Especially after the artiste, one of the leading entertainers in this country, was recently questioned by homicide detectives over possible links to some slain robbers.
Freeman insists he does not have any connection with robbers.
But, for businessman Tinashe Mutarisi, posting a picture of Freeman with a gun isn’t something that should trigger controversy.
A few days ago, Mutarisi, who is also a prominent music promoter, posted a picture, on his social media handles, in which he is in the company of Freeman and Boss Zino.
The businessman has 489 000 followers on Facebook.
The trio is captured in the picture carrying guns. Even Freeman, himself, jokes that these are the kind of images which can get one arrested.
“Ndomapix anosungisa ka aya kkkk asi ka zvakaoma,” he replied on social media after the post by Mutarisi.
“Tine moyo yakaoma maZimbaaaaa.”
Yesterday, Mutarisi said no one should read anything into the picture because it was just a screen shot taken from the video of Freeman’s song Robbery.
The video has, so far, garnered 1.2 million views on YouTube.
“It’s just a picture of a screen shot taken off Freeman’s video Robbery where I starred as one of the characters. There is nothing much to say about this picture. I have posted it before if you closely follow my posts.
“The video has now clocked over 1.2 million views on YouTube and I was also part of the cast.” The businessman has also featured in some of Jah Prayzah’s videos.
Here are some of the comments on social media:
