Renowned Zambian musician, Paul Mwale, popularly known as Masik, allegedly took his own life on Saturday, Zambia Association of Musicians president Brian Bwembya has announced.
Reasons for his decison have not been disclosed.
According to Bwembya, Masik, known for his collaborative work with numerous artists and his dedication to the music industry, was also a devoted member of the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) team and a pillar of support for fellow artists, often visiting those who would be admitted in UTH including Daddy Zemus and P-Jay.
“Masik’s funeral is in Matero, Lusaka and he will be put to rest this Wednesday 5th November, 2025,” he said.
Bwembya also announced the death of another musician Jack Chipenze, who was fondly known as Jax Chips, famous for his hit song “Nimakonda koma nilibe intention yokupanga wanga”. Chipenze died today after a very short illness.
“Details of his funeral will be shared by Zambia Association of Musicians (ZAM)’s Publicity Department. Both artists were active prominent figures in Zambia’s music scene, particularly between 2000 and 2010. The music community in Zambia will deeply miss Masik and Jax Chips. May their souls rest in peace,” said Bwembya.
