Danger, a Big Nuz survivor, is attempting to keep the group alive.
Following Mampintsha’s death in December 2022, the serving member, whose real name is Mzingisi Tshomela, has sought one of the founder members in order to resurrect the group.
A deepthroat disclosed to ZiMoja that Tshomela is working with DJ Tira and hopes to collaborate with Bhar, but the two are not on good terms.
“Remember that when Big Nuz relocated to Durban, they worked with DJ Tira in bangers like Uyoyisholo Wena and one of their biggest hits Umlilo. Danger is said to have approached Bhar to be part of Big Nuz in reviving the group. The source says the only snag is that Bhar and DJ Tira are not on good terms and have not been getting along for many years. ”
“The beef dates back years ago. Bhar made it clear that he won’t bow down to DJ Tira because he feels that the deejay owes him an apology.”
Big Nuz, founded in 2002 in Umlazi, Durban, by four childhood friends Mampintsha, R Mashesha, Danger, and Bhar, created a reputation for itself with singles such as Umlilo and Serious. Bahr, actual name Sfiso Mshengu, quit the group in the early 2000s while it was still trying to land a record deal in Johannesburg.
R Mashesha, true name Sibusiso Khomo, died in 2015 following a throat surgical complication, followed by Mampintsha.
