Social media accuses Denise Zimba of bullying house vocalist Nichume
Some Twitter users seem to believe a tweet from April may have weighed too heavily on the late star’s mind.
Social media users have accused media personality Denise Zimba of bullying recently deceased house vocalist Nichume Siwundla prior to her passing.
After finding out that Siwundla had passed, Twitter users immediately began the hashtag #RIPnichume before searching for any other mentions of her name.
An unidentified fan then highlighted recalling an instance in which Zimba offered up a critique about Nichume’s cover art for a single she released and called Zimba’s critique bullying.
In the tweet, which was posted in April, Zimba asked: “No disrespect to the artist BUT … For a DEBUT single, do you think that this is of great standard… who approved this art work? …”

She then expanded on her discussion by sharing images of other local albums and cover art for single releases before engaging her followers in a discussion.
For example, look at these amazing art works. So let’s discuss SA, what is the standard? pic.twitter.com/50SfCxww2L

So are you telling me Singles are one standard and album another? What are you saying?

So is it the label that upholds the standard? And as a label – calling yourself a label – is this how one reps their artist? First entry to the world?

The entire picture, is interesting… the selected picture, the font, the editing. But if you don’t see anything wrong then it’s alright. Thanx

Nichume seemingly did not respond to Zimba’s critique, but her collaborator, Mobi Dixxon, came to her defence with a retort about Zimba’s vocal ability to which Nichume responded with an emoji.
Or maybe you are jealous that @nichumesings sings better than you!

Fans have since dredged up that exchange and blamed Zimba for Nichume’s death, especially after hearing that she may have committed suicide.
Others have even tweeted vulgar wishes towards the star who is currently expecting her first child.

Did I see somewhere written Denise Zimba must have miscarriage cos of her role in Nichume death?

There have been those who have come to Zimba’s defence, however.
So a post from April 5th made Nichume commit suicide. Denise Zimba is being crucified for being honest about that cover. There's bigger problems in the world guys. Depression is taking our artists and y'all are busy with BS #RIPNichume

The fact that people are pinning Nichume's suicide on Denise Zimba is completely outrageous!
