Elias Musiyani Indirectly Fires Shots at Yo Maps After Prison Release

Zambian musician Elias Musiyani has stirred social media conversations after sharing a cryptic yet bold statement shortly after his release from prison.

The singer, who was recently freed, took to social media with words that many fans interpreted as a subtle dig at fellow artist Yo Maps. Musiyani posted:

“You send someone to prison & he comes out looking healthier than you. God is not from your village.”

The statement, though indirect, immediately caught the attention of fans and industry observers, who linked it to ongoing tensions and debates within the Zambian music industry. Some followers believe Musiyani was referencing recent controversies surrounding Yo Maps, especially in light of discussions about influence, dominance, and respect in the music scene.

Social media platforms quickly lit up with mixed reactions some supporting Musiyani’s boldness while others criticized him for taking a swipe at another artist instead of focusing on his fresh start after prison.

This episode adds to the growing narrative of rivalry, power dynamics, and accountability within Zambian music, where artists often use subtle or direct statements to assert their positions.
