“I’m not the Takura on the song but no one has bothered to ask me anything concerning the news. The media has, meanwhile, gone to town, publishing information that is wrong. It is something that is very unfortunate indeed.”

Singer and songwriter Takura Shonhai told Zim Now that he was surprised to read that he is involved in the production of the FIFA World 23 sound track Dont be Scared.

The Haarore hitmaker has been confused with namesake Takura Tendayi, another musician of Zimbabwean origin but based in the United Kingdom, who is to be featured on the FIFA 23 soundtrack.

Takura features on a new song with Trevor Dongo titled Love Story (Part 1) a few weeks after he dropped his hit track Goosebumps.

Shonhai said he is surprised that both the public and the media have not realized the gaffe.

Takura features on Trevor Dongo’s titled Love Story (Part 1) uploaded to YouTube today and has reached almost 10 thousand views in 5 hours.
