Nkabi Records has expressed gratitude for the prayers and messages of encouragement, emphasizing the importance of health and safety. The label is expected to share further updates on Big Zulu’s condition as they become available.
Fans across the country continue to send love and strength to both Big Zulu and Xowla, hoping for their full recovery and return to what they do best—making music that inspires.
