Maskandi heavyweight, Mthandeni “Igcokama Elisha” Manqele has added fuel to fire in his Facebook sparring with Big Zulu.

This time around Igcokama is not fighting Big Zulu alone. But also Gospel artist Jumbo who finds himself catching strays.

Igcokama is known as a bitter rival of Khuzani in Maskandi music genre but lately Big Zulu seems to have become his No.1 enemy.

Subsequently, Khuzani has developed a good friendship with Big Zulu and Jumbo in what seems to be a subscription to the thinking that an enemy of my enemy is my friend.

“I am not an ass but a real man, if you’ll nominate all wasteful ducks Papaneni (Papa Penny) Zulu (referring to Big Zulu) and call them my rivals, I say no. You better leave me alone and go to Izibhuklabhukla (isiZulu word for a fat chicken) from Durban named Jumbo,” read a Facebook post from Igcokama.

In the blink of an eye, Big Zulu returned fire with fire demolishing Igcokama by naming him “Sis’Dudu”.

“You can’t call me Papapeni face to face. Chances of being a real man are very slim. You are a yellow bone sis Dudu,” Big Zulu replying to Igcokama post.

Zulu referred to Igcokamana as a Facebook warrior who only starts wars on the social network. Jumbo has not replied to Igcokama yet.

Those in the inner circle of the camps have claimed the bitter exchange of words was caused by Big Zulu on his Facebook page.

It is claimed that Big Zulu made a post where he compared Igcokama with his arch rival Khuzani. This was bound to not sit well with Igcokama.

Sphephile Putsununu Khumalo on Facebook asked: “What has Jumbo done to you?” MC Kay Dindi also lashed out at Igcokama calling him an attention seeker.

“You are so desperate to trend and fame, you’re done with your Maskandi. You are now busy with famous and favourite artists from other genres so that you can trend. I am watching you,” MC Kay wrote.
