Controversy

Posholi Mohale, more commonly known by his stage name Controversy , was born on 6 October 1993 in Johannesburg South Africa. Although referred to as a Jozi boy, Posholi has experienced constant relocation through his life. He has spent years in other South African cities such as Cape Town and Durban (where he has spent majority of his life). This rolling stone lifestyle has allowed Posh to experience the various different cultures we have in the mother land, making him the ‘mother’s prince’. At the age of 13 Posholi wrote his first song, from that day his passion for music has grown to become the artist we know today. When asked about his music Controversy will often say” I’m not a rapper, I am an economist. An economist who uses music to express my views and hope my story will one day be heard.”  A highly educated musician, who schooled at the University of Johannesburg and uses his knowledge as his tool to music.

Although a child born in the 90’s (born free generation) Posholi’s musical icons are Ray charlies, Marvin Gaye and Bob Marley (‘these are artists who went beyond the rules and created a new vision to music”). His rapping/ producing have given him music comparisons to artist Nas and Lupe Fiasco.
