The 39-year-old muso was the lead vocalist for the hip hop group “Tumi and the Volume.” The group officially disbanded in 2012.
In 2016, Tumi relaunched himself as Stogie T and released an album called, Stogie T, which featured Da L.E.S, Lastee, Emtee, Nasty C, Nadia Nakai and Yanga.
Does this revelation mean that Stogie will be joining the list of celebrities who have become pastors, the like of Kabelo “Bouga Luv” Mabalane, Khaya Mthethwa, Pushie Watson, Innocent Sadiki and gospel sensation Pastor Benjamin Dube? We will have to wait and see.
