By Purity Lisa on October 12, 2018
In a five part video on Instagram, Mampintsha announced his retirement from the music industry. For him, he had been contemplating his retirement for a while.
“I’ve been thinking you know looking at the situation and the time I have been in this game and all the hits I’ve given you guys. I can see that people aren’t happy. I don’t even mean the fans. People I was supposedly close with and such people. It’s not pleasant here anymore‚” he said.
He said he does not feel supported and does not want fans to be offended as he appreciates their love.
2018 is therefore set to be Mampintsha’s last year in the industry.
“I am growing so I was thinking that this year I will release everything I have‚ all my hits but this will be my last year as a musician. Please don’t call this giving up because it isn’t that. This will be last year in music‚ so I can focus on other things which I have been doing on the side.”
By the end of the year, he will have reduced two more songs.
“We can just see that people are not happy anymore man… That time they have sampled me to hell and back and when they see me in the street they don’t even greet or acknowledge me. However‚ that’s okay because I’ve been here long enough to know that’s okay.”
Mampintsha ended the video by thanking his fans, and asked them to continue supporting him. He is thus leaving them in the hands of Babes Wodumo.
“I will be leaving you in the hands of queen Babes Wodumo and I know she’ll do right by you. I love you guys very much and I’ll be watching and guarding y’all so if you ever need me to come back‚ just in case you are bored‚ just call me and tell me what you need me to do and I’ll listen.”
