 ZAMBIA’S Multi Award-winning Gospel music star Pompi, on Sunday rocked the Big Brother The Chase eviction stage with his lager-than-life musical performance during the live dramatic eviction show that saw Botswana’s Motamma and Ethiopia’s Betty evicted.

Known as “The African Eagle”, Pompi opened the live eviction show with of his signature hits, ‘Giant Killer’ sending the audience into awe as Africa waited anxiously with bated breath to see who was landing an eviction boot. This was before unlashing yet another hit packaging.
