A music exec's victory lap got hijacked by a producer chasing a check. Nota Baloyi marked the anniversary of the hit song Ngud by Kwesta, featuring Cassper Nyovest. DJ Maphorisa immediately replied online, demanding owed royalties for his production work on the track after a decade of waiting.
Baloyi fired back with a technical explanation, citing a sample from the composition Camino de Sol. He claimed publishing rights for that sample complicated ownership and payment. The public exchange highlighted a persistent financial dispute within the industry.
Online spectators divided into camps, some amused by the ongoing feud. Others questioned the professionalism of airing royalty conflicts on social media. The argument underscored broader tensions about artist compensation and credit in South African music.
