When Irene Ntale departed from Swangz Avenue, Toniks commented that their decision to replace her with Vinka was like downgrading from a Benz to a Vitz.

Vinka discovered Toniks' comments through her manager, who informed her that a certain musician had likened the transition from Irene Ntale to Vinka at Swangz Avenue as going from a Benz to a Vitz. During a recent interview, Vinka disclosed, "Irene is a Benz and I'm a Vitz... surprisingly, a year later, that musician came asking for a collaboration." Consequently, when Toniks (real name Allan Ampaire) approached Vinka for a collaboration, she declined. Vinka admitted that she initially took Toniks' comments personally, stating, "He said I was a Vitz, so I wasn't comfortable doing it." However, Vinka expressed that she has since moved on from those emotions and matured.

It's worth mentioning that Allan Toniks and Irene Ntale are friends, although rumors circulated about them dating, which Toniks denied. Irene Ntale was previously managed by Vinka at Swangz Avenue before departing from the record label in 2017, leading to a bitter end to their working relationship.
