Ethic music group member Swat, whose real name is Boniface Mwangi, has addressed allegations of theft following a viral video depicting him being physically assaulted in Umoja. The incident, which occurred when he was with a friend, led to widespread online discussion after footage of the two men pleading for mercy from an angry mob circulated over the weekend.
The group released a statement dismissing the claims, quoting a message in Swahili: "Wakizidi kubonga tunazidi kusonga. Bro’s strong." (While they’re busy talking, we’re soldiering on).
Swat, known professionally as Mtoto Wa Eunice, has seen his profile rise alongside the Ethic group following collaborations such as the track "Position" featuring Kansol. The incident occurred at the Umoja residency, where the rapper was reportedly involved in a conflict that escalated into physical violence.
The group emphasized their commitment to addressing misinformation, with the statement serving as their official response to the controversy. No further details about the altercation were provided in the released materials.
