Manchester nightlife was left buzzing in disbelief this week after Zimbabwean-born, UK-based DJ Blaze Mufaro, well-known for tearing up Afro-beats and Amapiano sets across clubs in Birmingham and London, was dramatically arrested in connection with an elaborate credit card fraud scheme. According to insiders, Blaze Mufaro—whose stage name has been trending on social media—was allegedly part of a network that cloned debit and credit cards to fund a lavish lifestyle filled with luxury cars, champagne nights, and flashy designer clothes.
Sources close to the investigation claim the arrest followed weeks of undercover monitoring, with police swooping in just after the entertainer finished a high-energy performance at a packed nightclub. Witnesses say Mufaro was handcuffed in front of stunned fans who thought it was part of his act. Detectives have since confirmed the DJ is facing charges of identity theft, card cloning, and fraudulently obtaining thousands of pounds.
The arrest has sparked viral chatter online, with fans divided—some defending Blaze Mufaro, claiming he was “set up by haters,” while others insist the scandal “exposes how deep fraud runs in the UK entertainment scene.” With his next court appearance scheduled soon, the story is already being dubbed one of the biggest celebrity fraud busts of the year.
