IS reggae crooner Mic Inity, real name Mike Madamombe, a victim of negative and hypothetical conspiracies? WINSTONE ANTONIO

The musician has courted controversy on various occasions with the latest being yesterday’s post on his social network Facebook account under the name Mic Inity (Musician/Band) which he appeared to be boasting of being a violent drug addict.

Some who follow his stories on various media platforms could relate the post to his troubles that include legal predicaments due to woman-bashing.

The post reads: “I am all that they said I am. I am a woman basher, a womaniser, a drug addict ye I’m addicted to speed and cocaine and there is nothing you can do about it (sic).”

The post torched a storm as it was received with mixed feelings, with some people lambasting the musician, while others sympathised with him.

However, the post was later removed and replaced with a post that read: “My Page was hacked and I am outraged. Am investigating to find out who would do such a hateful thing. Jah love (sic).”

The musician has often been regarded as a gangster because of his violent character that has exposed him to criticism.

Contacted for comment, Mic Inity said he was shocked when he was alerted about the post before referring further questions to his manager Robert Zhuwao and publicist Scut Sanje.

“I am surprised with such a post. Somebody hacked my account and I believe this is a hate campaign,” Mic Inity said.

“I do not personally handle my accounts as I will be busy concentrating on studio work, but my manager Robert Zhuwao and publicist Scut Sanje handle them.”

Sanje said: “We are actually looking into it as the post did not emanate from us.”

Zhuwao said it was evident that the account had been hacked because of the language used.

“Account had been hacked. Even the lingo used is not his,” Zhuwao said.

Early this year, he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend identified as Chelsea over money to buy beer.
