ZIMDANCEHALL musician Noble Kanengoni — popularly known as Brown Sugar in music circles — has released a single track titled Miracle Money in which he takes a jibe at modern-day prophets whom he accuses of fleecing their followers through trickery.

The five-minute song features South Africa-based producer,Prince Kevin.
“Miracle Money is a factual analysis of the contemporary social system. It is inspired by the fact some pastors are using mass hypnosis to rip off poor people of their hard-earned cash,” Brown Sugar said.
“They come up with things like miracle babies, miracle houses and miracle weight loss and other ridiculous things that are unbelievable.”
Brown Sugar said a lot of contemporary clergymen were staging miracles such as depositing money into unsuspecting congregants’ bank accounts under the ruse that the money was from God.
The song makes a mockery of “fake prophets” and their “miracles” highlighting that money is earned through genuine work.
“After all, the so-called money usually turns into green leaves when it is supposed to be the greenback,” he said.
