The musician both shared a poster of themselves dressed in boxing gear and gave their fans and online followers the impression that they were going to fight in the ring on Tuesday, 23 May. However, it seems that the hype for today's match was almost all in vain. The musicians have instead decided to collaborate on a song titled IQHUPHA which was released on several social media platforms including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and more.
The musicians' fans and online followers were disappointed to have been toyed with by Magolide and Big Zulu. However, they were still hopeful that the new song was merely a soundtrack for the physical boxing match that they hoped was still to come.
