dc.description.abstract There is no study which is based on lyrics of songs about a sextape. Hence, the purpose of the study was to understand the gendered perspectives of four Zimbabwe singers towards explicit recording as reflected in the lyrics of their songs. Africana Womanism was deployed as a theory on the relationship between black males and females. The methodology was Critical Discourse Analysis in which purposefully selected artistes’ music lyrics were analysed. D Flexx’s song, “Hombe Yalevels”, “Ane hombe dzinotapira” (Ndunge Yut), “Tsamba kuna Levels” (Lorna Real Love) and Libronie’s “Ane hombe” which were released after the sextape scandal were examined in this study. From the findings, we argue that singers of the four songs failed Shashl as a woman and fellow musician by focusing on DJ Level’s perceived sexual prowess. Public figures ought to consult advisers, managers and veterans in their fields and government departments should partner stakeholders like businesses, brand experts and counsellors to explain the need for maintaining integrity. en_US
dc.description.abstract Actualmente nu se cunoaște niciun studiu care să se bazeze pe versurile cântecelor despre o relație de gen. Prin urmare, scopul studiului a fost de a înțelege perspectivele de gen ale patru cântăreți din Zimbabwe față de înregistrarea explicită, așa cum se reflectă în versurile melodiilor lor. Africana Womanism a fost implementat ca o teorie a relației dintre bărbații și femeile de culoare. Metodologia a fost analiza critică a discursului în care au fost analizate versurile muzicale ale artiștilor selectați intenționat. Au fost examinate cântecele lui D Flexx, „Hombe Yalevels”, „Ane hombe dzinotapira” (Ndunge Yut), „Tsamba kuna Levels” (Lorna Real Love) și „Ane hombe” a lui Libronie, lansate după scandalul sextapelor. Cântăreții celor patru melodii au discreditat-o pe Shashl ca femeie și colegă muzician, concentrându-se pe perceperea de gen a D.J. Level. Persoanele publice ar trebui să consulte consilieri, manageri și veterani din domeniile lor, iar departamentele guvernamentale ar trebui să asocieze părți interesate, cum ar fi întreprinderi, experți în mărci și consilieri, pentru a explica necesitatea menținerii integrității. en_US
