Tocky Vibes’ latest album launch was attended by a handful of fans despite having a great lineup which ended up stunning fans. The event, which promised a star-studded line-up including the likes of Killer T and Tamy Moyo, has been branded a catastrophic flop, leaving the musician reeling from both the poor turnout and the subsequent torrent of online mockery.
Industry insiders are scrambling to diagnose the cause of the failure. Was it a case of insufficient promotion, or was the date simply cursed? The launch went head-to-head with entertainment giants like the Jacaranda Music Festival and the Chibuku Road to Fame finals, pulling potential attendees in every direction. Yet, some whispers suggest a deeper issue: a fanbase growing weary of a familiar sound.

Fans Weigh In On Tocky Vibes’ Album Launch Disaster
In the wake of the disaster, the court of public opinion has been fiercely divided. While some have taken to social media to troll the artist cruelly, others have rushed to his defence, championing his legacy and undeniable talent. One fan commented
“Let us be honest, Tocky is still a legend. People are being too harsh. The guy gave us songs that raised a generation. Maybe this was just a bad weekend, he will rise again.”
However, not everyone was so sympathetic. Another social media user blasted the artist saying,
“That show was a disaster, biggest flop, full stop. It seems he is no longer in touch with the streets. The new wave has moved on while he is still singing the same old sermons. Empty ground doesn’t lie. He needs to reinvent himself.”
Tocky Vibes Reacts After Album Launch
The emotional toll on Tocky Vibes has been palpable. He took to social media to express his profound disappointment, not just in the numbers, but in the perceived betrayal from those close to him. He posted a heartfelt message in Shona, writing,
“Zvakangooma kut kana vamwe vako vanoombera maoko pamwechete nevavengi vako muzuva rekunyadziswa kwako haa Mashangurapata shuwa,” which translates to, “It is painful when some of your own people clap hands together with your enemies on the day of your shame, oh Mashangurapata (a cry for strength) indeed.”
