Published on September 6, 2019, an article highlighted several artistes who have made shocking confessions in their music.
One of the artistes mentioned is Ethic, who in their famous song 'Pandana', has the chorus with the words, 'Pandana, minayo bas tunabakana'. The word 'bakana' is Swahili for rape, leaving fans to wonder if they are referring to being rough in bed or the actual meaning.
