Scandals
In April 2014 at Soul Jah Love and Bounty Lisa's engagement party, Quonfuzed was involved in a fight with Seh Calaz over a woman identified as Astral Vee Vanessa who is also a musician in her own right and was Quonfuzed's girlfriend. It was reported that Vanessa cheated with Seh Calaz. Quonfuzed was accused of igniting Seh Calaz's affair with Vanessa as he went on a relentless mission to inquire about Seh Calaz's girlfriend who was believed to be residing in the United Kingdom (UK). Reciprocating to the actions of his fellow Zimbabwe Dancehall artist, Seh Calaz vowed to date Quonfuzed girlfriend.[3] So Vanessa alleged affair with Calaz was apparently to fix Calaz's girlfriend who was reported to have dated Vanessa's boyfriend, Quonfuzed.[4]
After this fierce fight, Seh Calaz pressed charges against Quonfused but he later on dropped the charges stating that he was over the issue.[5] Quonfused released a single in which he warned men to be careful when it comes to women in these days where the AIDS pandemic is wreaking havoc in many African nations. Vanessa, later on apologised to Quonfused.[6]
