I will die with nothing: Matorokisi Hitmaker Makhadzi
Venda, South Africa
Matorokisi hitmaker, Makhadzi has opened up a pandora’s box which has now seen her ex-manager Rita Dee being put on the spotlight for failing to remunerate her.
According to the 24-year-old Limpopo based songstress, Rita Dee didn’t pay her the money they made with her previous album Matorokisi including the royalties. Makhadzi wrote on her Twitter page.
“The only thing I did was ask my money from my ex-manager from my previous album Matorokisi and money for my royalties, what she did was to claim my money and delete all my videos from YouTube including Riyavenda with 10 million views and Matorokisi with 8 million views. I didn’t get a cent from my album. I paid my Picanto car she doesn’t want to change ownership names. If I can die tomorrow everything is under her meaning I was born to be a slave. She’s not answering my calls, she blocked me.”
Many artists have been lamenting over the same issues including artists like A-reece, Emtee and Fifi Cooper who have since left their former recording label, Ambitious Entertainment to pursue their music careers independently.
However, being an independent artist is not easy especially in an environment like South Africa where big corporates relatively dominate the whole music fraternity having a say on which record is going to get more airplay on both television and radio.
However, a few neo artists have managed to make it without any major signings, the likes of Shane Eagle and Cassper Nyovest are some of the recognisable names.
It is now yet to be seen whether or not Rita Dee will sort out her issues with Makhadzi or have to succumb to the #RitaDee must fall trend which seems to have taken Twitter by storm.
