He has found himself linked to two armed robbery suspects, both dead after shootouts with police.

Godknows Machingura, 44, was shot dead in a shootout with police this past December. He was a socialite and music promoter, a close friend of Freeman.

Machingura was based in South Africa and was part of cross-border robbery syndicate which included three South African nationals.

In 2021, another robber, Charles Chirara, was gunned down and too linked Freeman. Funnily enough, this happened a few days after he released an album titled Robbery.

Freeman says Chirara was a voluntary bouncer of his, who he knew from 2016.
