Zimdancehall chanter, Poptain has claimed he never dated fellow dancehall singer, Anita Jackson following speculations that the two were together after images of them getting cosy set social media ablaze last year.
While Anita had confirmed the relationship in an interview with ZTN, Poptain had stayed mum on the issue.
She added that while they had tried to keep it professional they could not resist the chemistry between them and they ended up giving the fans what they want.
Poptain however backtracked on the statements made by his alledged ‘lover’ saying he had not addressed the rumour as felt too principled to mislead fans with such publicity stunts and he has a wife.
He said: “l would not want to lie you know, l am not the type of artist that gives himself pressure by creating stories to stay relevant in the music industry.
“You can even notice that even when l was asked about this issue in previous interviews l always said that it was a private matter because l did not know how to say it when it’s out there and people are saying the other things, but l am an artist who has principals and for me real and truly Anita is family.”
Anita on the other hand has responded to this on a star FM interview. In her interview she insisted that there was a relationship between her and Poptain.
Anita also mentioned the tours they did together and how they sold out their relationship to the fans and to her it was all real.
The story however remains confusing on whose story backs who and what exactly transpired.
