"I haven’t been getting anything since I left the record label, and I saw recently that my music was uploaded on digital platforms without me knowing, which means they sold my records to somebody and it means I need to get a cut for it," she said.

The hitmaker went on to say that she had tried numerous times to contact DJ Sbu since their last conversation nearly a year and a half ago. The singer went on to say that she considered taking them to court but knew she couldn't afford the fees.

Zahara is adamant that a TV interview is the only way to end their long-running feud, and she would like DJ Sbu to answer her call.
