A major lawsuit hits a famous musician over missing millions. Black Major agency sued singer Sho Madjozi in the Johannesburg High Court. The suit claims she never paid them their share of a large advance from Epic Records. The advance totaled about five million rand after her retirement from music.
The agency states its management contract lasted from mid-2021 into early 2025. Services included booking tours, securing brand deals, and facilitating recording contracts. Black Major says it is owed twenty percent of that international label advance. They also claim a percentage of her other entertainment earnings.
Further debts include unpaid disbursements for music rights association fees. The agency cites unpaid commissions from work with Wasserman Music and Ubisoft. Additional costs involve tour production, a documentary, and expenses for specific songs. A formal demand for payment was sent in late February 2025.
Black Major alleges the artist acknowledged the debt in an email last year. No payment arrived despite repeated follow-up requests. The agency wants the case sent to mediation before a full court hearing. Sho Madjozi declined to comment when asked about the story.
