Filmmaker Speaks Out on Kenny T Podcast
Zambian filmmaker David Kazadi has accused some law enforcement officers of leaking his private videos to the public following his arrest earlier this year.
In July 2025, Kazadi was arrested for allegedly producing and circulating pornographic material. This came after viral clips spread on social media, allegedly showing a young model engaged in sexual acts with different men. Police said the content was uncovered through intelligence-led investigations and digital surveillance by the Cybercrime Unit.
However, during an interview on the Kenny T Podcast hosted by Kenny Tonga, Kazadi shared his side of the story, revealing that he voluntarily handed over his phone and electronic devices to law enforcement officers.
‘I Trusted Them With My Devices’
“What shocked me most was this: I gave you my phone, and you had access to it. These devices are called personal portable devices because they’re personal,” Kazadi said.
“The things we keep on our phones don’t have to be obscene, but they are private; otherwise, we’d be broadcasting them for everyone to see.”
Kazadi explained that he trusted the officers with his phone and expected them to handle it responsibly. He questioned how another private video leaked when the devices were in their custody.
“How can something leak when you have my devices? If you had it on your phone, it wasn’t meant for the public,” he asked.
‘The Timing Was Too Coincidental’
Kazadi further claimed that one of the leaked videos — which made him trend online — surfaced on the same day he was scheduled to launch a new episode of his show, The Icon Zambia.
“There’s a video that made me famous — the one about why I only wear bow ties. It came out the same day we were set to launch The Icon episode. Very coincidental, very timely, but okay, let’s act like it was an accident,” he said.
‘Distribution Is the Bigger Crime’
Reflecting on his time in police custody in Livingstone, Kazadi said he spent the period studying and understanding the Cybersecurity and Cybercrimes Act.
“I understand why it exists. There are people who do revenge porn, and something needs to be done. But if you have my device and authority over me, and things get released while in your custody, that raises serious questions,” he explained.
He added that, from his understanding of the law, distributing such content is a more serious crime than merely possessing or recording it.
“Between the person who recorded the video and the one who distributed it, the distributor committed the bigger crime,” he emphasized.
Public Reaction
Kazadi’s remarks on the Kenny T Podcast have sparked renewed discussion about digital privacy, data protection, and the handling of electronic evidence by law enforcement agencies.
Many online users are now calling for accountability and improved safeguards for individuals whose personal data is seized during investigations.
