On 2nd July 2025 – popular rapper Muzo AKA Alphonso alias Musonda Chishimba announced his completion of a seven months long rehabilitation programme at Great North Road Academy Rehab Centre in a social media post on the institution’s Facebook page.
The 30 years-old rapper was admitted to the institution after public outcry over his bad state look, which was secondary to substance abuse such as cannabis, tobacco, and elicit alcohol.
Philanthropist and enterpreneur Remmy Kangwa, the rapper’s family, and others necessitated his admission into the rehab programme.
In the video in which he announced his rehab programme completion, the rapper who started with his usual songs’ intro expressed gratitude to Dr. Rozious Siatwambo for helping him, acknowledging that it is not easy.
He further added that, in the seven months journey, he had learned a lot, including stopping taking alcohol and smoking. Thus, he was appealing to the people he would be hanging with post rehab to know how to deal with him.
Muzo AKA Alphonso’s mother, who went to pick him up, expressed great happiness and gratitude to Dr. Rozious Siatwambo and his staff for the work they have done. She further stated that there was a huge change difference in her son compared to how he was at the time of admission.

While many of his fans were hoping to get a new song soon, the rapper had chosen to take a different path from music post his rehabilitation programme.
According to New Diggers, it reported that Dr. Rozious Siatwambo said, “After being released from rehab, Muzo Aka Alphonso has indicated that he will no longer do music but instead pursue a career in teaching.”
The rapper’s over 600,000 fans are shattered by the news and hope that they will get a record or two in the future. They cling on to his words in his verse on Nez Long’s Story remix, where he said he won’t stop singing because that is his job on Earth.
Nevertheless, Muzo Aka Alphonso’s transformation is a testament to the possibility of change with the right people, mindset, and determination. Like rapper Slapdee told Muzo in a post celebrating his achievement, “Go and be a story for many others,” let it be so.
