Rising Afrobeats star Gdzilla says mask was publicity stunt

Gdzilla reveals the intention behind his mask.

Gdzilla face mask drew the attention of listeners after he was announced by Jonzing World label boss D' Prince.

The mask is fashioned after the fictional pre-historic Godzilla character from whom he also borrowed his stage name. Listeners found the mask to be an attention-grabbing antic that instantly ticked off some fans and led to criticism on social media.

In a recent interview on Hip TV, Gdzilla admitted that the mask was a publicity move meant to create awareness, and he was always going to take it off after the goal was achieved.

The rising talent who released his debut self-titled EP in 2023, is the third artist from the Jonzing World talent pipeline after Rema and Ruger who also had their unique branding.

According to the artist whose music carries significant street elements, his debut EP was inspired by his experiences and he intends to share more of this in his coming releases.

With Gdzilla, D' Prince and Jonzing World is aiming for a hattrick of breakthrough artists following the mainstream success of Rema and Ruger, especially now that Ruger has left Jonzing World label to set up his label.
