HARARE — Zim dancehall prodigy Jnr Spragga has inked a major endorsement deal with Scottland FC worth US$50,000, propelling the young artist into a new league of commercial success.
The deal, announced via social media, sees Jnr Spragga appointed as the official brand ambassador for the football club, a role that comes with significant perks.
Over and above the cash component, the musician was also gifted a brand-new Toyota Travo by Scottland FC owner and Zanu PF legislator Pedzai Scott Sakupwanya.
The businessman reportedly assured the young artist that his wardrobe would also be taken care of as part of the ambassadorial arrangement.
The deal includes a remarkable incentive that has set tongues wagging: a promise from Sakupwanya to facilitate a collaboration between Jnr Spragga and American rapper Rick Ross.
The proposed international collaboration has generated excitement among fans, with many hailing Sakupwanya for supporting young artists and opening doors to global opportunities.
Jnr Spragga’s Emotional Acceptance
In his acceptance post on social media, Jnr Spragga expressed his gratitude and disbelief at the scale of the gesture.
“Ndaifunga kuti hope but ndamuka manje!” he wrote, translating to “I thought it was a dream but I have woken up now!”
“I just wanna take this moment to thank (tag boss Scott) and (tag Scottland FC) for making me the brand ambassador of your brand and thank you so much for the amazing gifts that you have given me, dakungoti Mwari akukomborerei, thank you so much.”
The endorsement deal adds another milestone to Jnr Spragga’s remarkable rise in Zimbabwe’s music industry. The artist has been the subject of intense debate over his claim to the throne of the late Soul Jah Love, with many fans hailing him as the heir apparent.
His hit track Daka has dominated airwaves, while his recent performance at the Tete-A-Tete Concert alongside his rival Hulengende showcased his ability to command a stage.
The partnership between Sakupwanya’s Scottland FC and the young dancehall star reflects a growing trend of cross-sector collaboration between business and entertainment in Zimbabwe.
For Scottland FC, the deal secures a brand ambassador with a massive following among Zimbabwe’s youth. For Jnr Spragga, it provides financial security and a platform to grow his brand both locally and internationally.
Fans are already anticipating what the Rick Ross collaboration might yield, with many hoping it will open doors for Zimbabwean artists on the global stage.
