Singer and songwriter Lady Zamar whose birth name is Yamikani Janet Banda last trended in tabloid headlines and on social media in 2020 following her alleged rape allegations against her ex, award-winning musician Sjava. The Malawian singer opened a rape case against Sjava but the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) court ended in his favor due to a lack of substantial evidence leaving social media users and loyal Sjava fans attacking Lady Zamar, and accusing her of trying to ruin the award-winning singer’s blossoming career.
Lady Zamar and Jabulani Hadebe, affectionately known by Sjava had been in a discreet relationship with the public for over 2 years before their split started making tabloid headlines in 2017. Not too long after the breakup, Lady Zamar opened the rape case against Sjava arguably at the peak of his music career.
The Collide hitmaker has since taken a hiatus from releasing music with her last release three years ago. She is back and will be dropping a new release called Find Me Again this Friday, 22 April 2022, which is anticipated to top digital streaming and radio charts because the singer never misses.
The single is promising a world inside Lady Zamar’s emotional and mental state after her break up and during the social media hate she was receiving, to lose people in her life. She shared on an Instagram post and wrote, “I’m back… Having spent nearly three years without releasing any of my own music, it feels fitting to start this journey off with a song written from a place of hope and love.” The caption continued reading, “Having been through a pandemic and having lost so many friends, family, and acquaintances it has been a terribly hard time.” She added that the single is written along with musical talent JR, produced by international DJ and producer Dlala Mlungu, and Lee Global.
The “beautiful banger” according to Lady Zamar’s producers promises to fall under the dance and upbeat genres and will be released under Universal Music South African and she looks forward to seeing you enjoy it. She also shared, “It [single] is definitely a new sound and a new chapter in my life and the lives of my fans. I love and have missed you all. I can’t wait.”
Fellow musicians, industry friends, fans, and followers have been sending Lady Zamar love in the comments wishing her a great comeback. Shekinah, the Major League DJz, and Metro FM’s Khutso Theledi were some of the celebrities that showed Lady Zamar love ahead of her comeback.
One sarcastic tweep pondered the question to the TL, “Is Lady Zamar still making music?” Other tweeps were arguing that Lady Zamar should apologize to Sjava ahead of her release with some comments harsher than others.
A lot of other Twitter users started going on nostalgic eras of the singer with hit songs like Collide, My Baby, and Love Is Blind making appearances.
Even with the hate that the singer has been receiving online, she’s recently gone on to urge users to be much kinder to others. She tweeted, “Sometimes your lessons are other people’s traumas. So hold space for that possibility and take accountability.”
sometimes your lessons are other peoples traumas.. so hold space for that possibility and take accountability!
