Yanga Chief Clarifies “Lord Faku” Album Art: A Nod to Heritage, Not Satanism. Yanga Chief is setting the record straight after some controversy surrounding the striking imagery in his latest album, Lord Faku – The Life of A Dyan. The album cover, which features the rapper with horns, has sparked online chatter, with some fans linking the symbol to satanic and Illuminati conspiracies.
However, Yanga Chief is adamant that the symbolism has nothing to do with dark forces and everything to do with his deep connection to his roots.
In a heartfelt post, Yanga explained the meaning behind the title Lord Faku and the horned imagery. “The title is loosely based on being a descendant of King Faku,” he shared. “The ‘horns’ represent a crown that is linked to my clan name, MPONDO.” For Yanga, the album is a homage to his lineage, and the horns serve as a symbolic representation of his royal heritage.
He made it clear that any rumours or assumptions about occult connections are completely unfounded. “All the other satanic and Illuminati stuff has nothing to do with me,” he stated, adding, “I’ll never let Western symbolism stop me from paying homage to my roots.”
Throughout Lord Faku, Yanga Chief speaks about his relationship with God and his unwavering love for Jesus. He expressed his pride in both his heritage and his faith, saying, “I’m very proud of who I am and my love for Jesus.”
The album, which has been well-received for its authenticity and storytelling, is a testament to Yanga’s journey and growth as both an artist and an individual. As he wraps up his message, Yanga thanked his fans for their support: “Hope you’re enjoying the album. Luthando 🤎🤎🤎”
In a world where imagery is often open to interpretation, Yanga Chief is reminding everyone that some symbols are deeply personal and rooted in culture, not controversy. The horns are a crown, a sign of honour and respect, as he proudly embraces his Mpondo heritage and spiritual beliefs.
