The South Africa-based Zimbabwean artiste described the endorsement as a stepping stone to greater heights.
“Being the brand ambassador for Adidas means I have a corporate body behind me and it means I go beyond being behind the microphone and making music. It ensures that I keep making quality music since I am now associated with a quality brand,” he said.
Chipunza added that RnB and hip-hop music were usually associated with negativity, but his endorsement by Adidas dispelled such myths.
The singer is well-known for remixing Zimbabwean tracks and adding a hip-hop flavour to them.
He did a remix of Takura’s Zino Irema, ExQ’s Bhachura and Ndiwe Wega Uripo by music superstar Oliver Mtukudzi.
Hillzy said he was going to seek ambassadorship at home where more people could relate with him while promoting his music to local fans.
