Dancehall star Malinga recently fired back at fellow artist Mady P after receiving many explicit comments from him. During an appearance on the JAAKEV Show with host Kelvin Ngumuya, Malinga made it clear he believes Mady P sits below his level in the industry. He explained that trading diss tracks with bigger names like Sean Morgan and Chizmo Njuchi would make more sense financially because those exchanges could actually earn him money.
Malinga spent about ninety minutes on the program, answering various questions from the host. He showed up wearing black clothes with just a gold watch for color. During their talk, he shared personal details, including his full birth name, Chikumbutso Chitsundi Banda, and mentioned he has reached thirty years of age. The conversation then moved toward his ongoing beef with the other dancehall artist.
The award-winning performer explained how his approach has changed with experience. He stated plainly that he can no longer waste his energy making responses that bring no cash. According to Malinga, answering certain diss tracks equals throwing away resources for nothing. Both he and the host avoided saying Mady P directly until Malinga made his point crystal clear about picking battles wisely.
He broke down his thinking very directly for viewers. Malinga explained he would quickly jump into the studio if attacked by bigger stars because their fame lets him turn those exchanges into profit. But responding to Mady P offers little value given his current status. He stressed that any future response would happen only if he saw a way to make money from it. Malinga referenced how useless it is to gain attention without finding ways to profit from it.
The interview revealed Malinga sees music primarily as a business these days. This stands opposite to how Mady P presented himself last year when speaking on Podcast Malawi. During that earlier interview, Mady P repeatedly tried to belittle Malinga and even referred to him as a child, using the term mfana. Their different approaches show two very different mindsets about success in the music industry.
