Musician Freeman & Hitmaker Levels of Chillspot Records are setting the record straight on why they are not attending Ginimbi's funeral. Level and Freeman are Brand Ambassadors for 1202Herbal and are starting a tour on Friday which will prevent them from attending Ginimbi's funeral which will be held on Saturday.
Fans reacted negatively when Freeman responded to a fan who had asked him why he was not attending the funeral but had attended Ginimbi's all white party. Freeman responded by saying "Nekuti kwaita rufu hazviti ndiregere kushandira mhuri" Just because there is a funeral it does not mean I can't work to feed my family.
Family of popular Zimbabwean socialite and millionaire, Ginimbi Genius Kadungure - wey die for motor accident on 8th November say im want pipo wey wan attend im burial to wear white dress.
Dis all-white dressing wey everybody must wear come di burial dey similar with Ginimbi trademark dressing for di lavish parties wey im dey always host while e dey alive.

During one interview with tori pipo, The Herald, Ginimbi eldest sister, Juliet tok say her brother use to tell dem say e want huge send-off.
"Genius na fun-loving character, e dey always remind us about how e want im funeral to be. In fact, e get di plan for ground and dey always tok say 'ndiri big', so make sure for my funeral, you no hurry-hurry bury me."
"Take time to plan for my burial. Check my requirements well and one of di tins be say I want everyone wey go come my funeral to dress in all white, no mata who. Please, make sure you tok am plenti times. Remember, say I be all-white guy. Di all-white need to be on di day of burial." Juliet say na wetin im brother, Ginimbi bin tell dem before e die.
