“I’m experiencing abuse of power. How can my 16 years of hard work be taken off the music platforms, ke lenyatšo blind, just because I’m not signed under any major label, then my work gets erased like I’m some kid from Mashibiring with no backup or knowledge 😑. “

The DJ, who previously sold some of his belongings to cover medical expenses, apologised to his fans and vowed to do everything in his power to get his music back on digital streaming platforms.

“Sorry to everyone who streams & buys my music, I’m gonna do all I can to reinstate my work,” Chymamusique said.

Here are some of the comments:

@TshegoMTsg alleged:

“Bro, I noticed this happened immediately after the announcement of the radio gig, if I'm not mistaken. They can try to bring a good man down, but they'll never win. Back to 3 am prayers 🙏🏻”

@QueenOfPitori said:

“This is so wild, you don’t deserve this, I’m so sorry for your experience 💔”

@JantjieRams asked:

“I bet it's only songs you collaborated with the artists they sighed. Not your tracks ‘Alone.’ If that's the case, did they sign any contract with you before making those tracks, and what does the spreadsheet/distribution say?”

@Nonhlan23097084 advised:

“Sit down with DJ Black Coffee. He has always stood up for his rights when it comes to his music. I remember a time when the YFM CEO thought he could bully him, and Black Coffee took an unpopular stance. Look at him now being THE big boss.”
