Jah Prayzah does not own the Military Touch Studios but is
one of the directors, according to DJ Tamuka.
“Let me say this once, JP Studios and Military Touch are
two different entities. They’re owned by different people. Jah Prayzah is a
director in Military Touch but people portray him as the owner of Military
Touch. No, there’re different owners of Military Touch, some people that you
don’t even know, people that are not in music, some businesspeople,” he said on
the Podcast, 2 broke Twimbos
“It’s unfortunate that Military Touch hasn’t gotten its own
space to say this is Military Touch Studios. So we’re renting space from JP
Studios. The setup is supposed to be like this: Military Touch is my space and
then Jah has his own studio, X (XQ) has his own studio, Nutty (Nutty O) has his
own studio but they come and record Military Touch business at MTM. If they
need me at Jah’s studio I will go, if they need me at X studio I will go so
that ultimately what the set up is supposed to be,” he said.
“We’re sort of fixing that because it affects the whole
thing in different ways. People might feel like kuya kuya kuMilitary Touch
kwana Jah hatiende kunorecorda ikoko, you know what I mean. But it’s not Jah’s
Studio, he’s a part of it. It’s my studio,” he said.
Tamuka also spoke about the departure of Andy Muridzo from
the label, saying that the problems between Jah and his former protégé had been
largely instigated by people on the sidelines.
“I can’t call it beef as such but it was a disagreement
that was fuelled by spectators more than the actual people that were involved
in it. You know like when you get people writing to say urikubatirwa, waita so,
on social media (and) someone else will comment on that, even if you don’t say
anything as the artistes involved people will come up with their own conclusions
and say there was beef,” he said.
Tamuka said he did not see how Jah Prayzah could be blamed
for any of Muridzo’s problems while he was at Military Touch, as the lanky
musician was taking money from his own pocket to support him.
