5 Reasons Stunner Remains Relevant in 2017

Today Zim hip artist, Desmond Chideme a.k.a Stunner turns a year older. With a career dating back to the early 2000s one has to give the man respect. Through the ups and down, Stunner has managed to remain relevant in various aspects of his life. As we help celebrate the hip hop artist’s 37th birthday, we give you 5 reasons why he is still relevant in 2017.

1. His Music

Stunner has six albums under his belt and hit singles as well as features. Think of ‘Dhafu korera’, ‘Godo’ and ‘Tavaunganidza’ just to name a few. As a pioneer of urban music for this generation, Stunner has been nominated locally and abroad for awards in the hip hop category. Now when you can still make music for almost two decades…that’s relevance.

2. His Fashion

Stunner has been known to be flamboyant as he loves his fashion and bling. His social media pages are filled with photos of his shoes, clothes and bling. He seems to always land on the best dressed lists.

3. Drama, drama, drama

Stunner has an interesting relationship with drama. Be it a run in with the law, his relationships or even statements he publicly shares. In a country where celebrity culture isn’t as much of a big deal as other spaces, Stunner is the ideal celeb to follow. To be honest media and fans alike love celebrities who can dish out something for them to talk about. And as Lange West said, ‘ If people aren’t talking about you then you are not relevant.’

4. His friends

We could write a long list of Stunner’s closest friends in entertainment but we won’t. All we can say is that he has a number of people who have his back. Yes, he might have a rival or two, but he seems to have a lot of people who genuinely like him.

5. He’s just Stunner

Where would Zimbabwean entertainment be without Stunner? His swag and personality have maintained his career and brand all these years.

A happy birthday to Stunner a.k.a Da Des, a.k.a Mr Tazoita Cash.
