In a startling turn of events, Zambia’s rising rap sensation, 76 Drums, appears to have fallen victim to a cyber attack targeting his YouTube channel. For more than a fortnight now, the channel has been inundated with unrelated content under the moniker “76 Drums Tv,” a stark departure from its original branding and content.
Fans are abuzz with speculation, suggesting that the perpetrator behind the breach may have affiliations with Chinese hacking groups, drawing parallels to similar tactics witnessed on other social media platforms like Facebook. Despite the mounting concern among followers, neither 76 Drums nor his management has issued any official statement regarding the incident, leaving supporters in the dark about the fate of the channel.
This unfortunate development comes at a time when 76 Drums has been making waves within the music industry, notably being featured on Slapdee’s highly acclaimed album BW3. His track “Jahman Juice” has been dominating charts, while his latest release, “These are Big Machines,” has been creating ripples across Zambia, further solidifying his position as a formidable force in the rap scene.
As fans anxiously await updates and resolution to the channel’s security breach, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities artists face in the digital age. Stay tuned for more developments as the situation unfolds, and let’s hope for a swift recovery for 76 Drums’ YouTube channel.
