In a shocking statement, the organizer claims that releasing the funds would be a disaster because women are allegedly "pretending to be romantically interested" in the artist solely to siphon off his finances.
Origins: "Help Captain Britain Own a Car"
The saga began in October 2025 when a GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Captain Britain to own a car" was launched. Todd Zenda, known for his unique "mangoma style" and comedic flair, sought to purchase a vehicle to ease the logistical challenges of his rising career—facilitating travel to studios, interviews, and performances. He had notably obtained his driver's license just prior to the appeal.
The campaign initially saw promising traction. Reports indicate that by late October, it had raised a significant sum, with some sources citing a total of £880 and others noting an early boost of $650, including a single $500 anonymous donation. However, the momentum halted when the campaign link was reportedly closed by the organizer, leading to the current impasse over how the funds should be used.
Cash vs. Control: The Dispute
Despite the shortfall from the original target, Captain Britain has demanded the "full and unconditional release" of the money raised in his name. The artist, who has publicly discussed his struggles on platforms like the DJ Ollah 7 Podcast, feels entitled to the donations made by his fans.
The organizer, Punchstar Entertainment, has publicly refused to hand over the cash. In a detailed statement, the organizer argued that simply giving Captain Britain the money would be irresponsible. "If you wish to see him fail, then handing over the funds might be an option," the statement reads, emphasizing that the goal is to provide ongoing support rather than a one-time payout.
The "Honey Trap" Allegations
In a shocking twist, the organizer justified withholding the funds by claiming that Captain Britain is currently being targeted by women seeking financial gain. The statement alleges that during the organizer's time with the artist, he uncovered instances of women "pretending to be romantically interested" on WhatsApp.
The organizer insists that if the cash is released, it will simply be "finished by women" (anopedzerwa mari yese nevakadzi), leaving the artist with nothing.
The Organizer's Solution
Instead of handing over the cash or buying a vehicle (which requires maintenance costs), the organizer proposes using the funds to establish a sustainable income stream for the artist.
The Plan: To set up a small business, such as selling phones and accessories. The organizer argues this will enable Captain Britain to "concentrate on his future" and provide a "reliable means of support."
The statement also raises concerns about the artist's mental state. Describing him as "youth and vulnerable," the organizer boldly claims: "He necessitates professional medical evaluation." This suggests the dispute is not just about money, but about the organizer's belief that Captain Britain lacks the capacity to manage his own affairs.
