South African hip-hop icon Big Zulu was involved in a near-fatal car accident on the night of January 26, sparking an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues. According to IOL, the accident has left the “Imali Eningi” hitmaker’s fans deeply concerned, with his record label, Inkabi Records, sharing the distressing news.
In a heartfelt post on Facebook, Inkabi Records called on supporters to keep Big Zulu in their prayers. The post read, “Nkabi Nation, it’s sad to announce that Big Zulu was involved in a car accident last night. Please keep him in your prayers.”
Reports reveal that Big Zulu’s BMW 325 suffered substantial damage in the crash, highlighting the severity of the incident. Despite the serious nature of the accident, fans have flooded social media with messages of hope and encouragement. One fan wrote: “We wish him a very speedy recovery so he can continue giving us good music. Get well soon, king.”
Others shared words of spiritual support, with one commenting, “Through Christ, nothing is impossible; you will recover soon, bro.”
This incident comes just weeks after another artist from Inkabi Records, Xolwa (real name Xolani Shabalala), was also involved in a car accident. Xolwa, driving a new BMW 4-Series, was on his way to the studio when he crashed, but fortunately, he only suffered minor injuries.
Fans of Big Zulu continue to send their well-wishes, hoping for his quick recovery and return to music.
