Hopewell Chin’ono, a well-known journalist, has challenged Zimdancehall artist Seh Calaz to a sound clash after being targeted in the musician’s new diss track, “Mambo Ndi Mambo.”
In the song, Seh Calaz not only took aim at Chin’ono but also at other notable figures in the Zimdancehall scene, including Winky D, Silent Killer, Maggikal, the Ndururani Crew, and Ricky Fire.
Chin’ono expressed his surprise and frustration on Facebook, accusing Seh Calaz of dissing him in the track but then refusing to engage in a sound clash. He labeled the artist as a coward for failing to back up his claim of being the “King of Dancehall.”

In his post, Chin’ono pointed out that while diss tracks are common in the competitive music scene, refusing to participate in a clash after issuing a diss track is contradictory. He stated, “Why diss me in your song and then avoid a sound clash? If you believe you’re the king, step up and prove it! Winky D is the only true King of Zimdancehall.” Chin’ono continued, urging Seh Calaz to accept the challenge: “Don’t be scared, let’s give the fans the clash they’ve been waiting for!”
When asked why he wasn’t challenging Winky D, despite Seh Calaz’s claim to the throne, Chin’ono clarified that he had no issue with Winky D, who has never personally targeted him. He explained that Winky D is already established as the King of Dancehall, based on his impressive following, hit songs, and popularity, and therefore didn’t feel the need to engage with him. Chin’ono emphasized that Seh Calaz had directly called him out, making him the only artist Chin’ono was interested in clashing with.
Chin’ono also stated that a sound clash with Seh Calaz would not only prove the artist’s worth but also help him reach a broader audience. He concluded with a playful message: “This clash will be the most-watched dancehall event on social media. Calaz, stop hiding! Daddy Hope is ready with the mic!” He made it clear that the clash is a musical rivalry, not a personal attack.
