On November 1, 2019, Timmy Tdat released his latest song 'Vitamin U' featuring Tanzanian rapper Rosa Ree, sparking controversy online.
The song's provocative video, which features the two artists in a bathtub together, was posted on YouTube and quickly gained attention for its explicit content.
Netizens took to social media to express their outrage, labeling the video as 'pornography' due to its erotic scenes.
However, Timmy Tdat claimed on Instagram that the video was removed by hackers, sharing a screenshot of the YouTube page with the caption 'If the owner of this video has granted you access, please sign in.'
Despite the backlash, the 'Iromo' hitmaker has stated that he plans to re-upload the song on YouTube.
This is not the first time Timmy Tdat and Rosa Ree have caused a stir online, as they previously led their fans to believe they were dating before releasing the song 'Kipopo' in April.
It's worth noting that Rosa Ree could have faced legal consequences in Tanzania if the song was released there due to its explicit content.
