The song, which she performed with producer Master KG, became a worldwide sensation during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. People across the globe created dance challenges, flash mobs, and performances as the track hit the top spots on charts in more than ten countries. Major companies used the song, which reached 500 million YouTube streams. Zikode recently posted on Instagram that she never received payment for her work.

Her fans have started supporting her cause through social media with #JusticeForNomcebo. The controversy highlights ongoing issues in how performers get paid in the music industry. Many followers expressed sympathy, though some questioned what contract terms she agreed to before recording.
