During the interview, Tzozo slammed the rumours and emphasised his career in the music industry.

It was a lovely and insightful conversation as he unpacked what CCIFSA is all about and the important role it plays in supporting artists and cultural development in KwaZulu-Natal. From deep discussions about the creative industry to some light-hearted laughs about his personal life – this one had it all."

According to TshisaLIVE, the singer said this has been one of the biggest misconceptions about his career and personal life. He had accepted that it comes with being in the public eye.

“The biggest challenge I faced was to correct the perception. But I guess it comes with the industry I voluntarily joined,” he was quoted saying.

He revealed that his family understands his side of the story, and they had not given him a hard time when it came to explaining himself.

Tzozo slams rumours of gatekeeping industry

In 2024, Tzozo denied allegations of gatekeeping at KZN Music House. This came after some social media users accused him of controlling access. It was also said that artists needed his permission to use the venue after hours of waiting, an allegation he strongly denied.

"I was shocked and flabbergasted at the same time. How can one man be given so much power to control and decide the livelihood of KZN artists?" he told TshisaLIVE.
