When speaking of owning masters, this means that the artist owns the rights to their music, completely. DJ Maphorisa claimed that he, Kabza and Samthing Soweto are masters owners and that artists like Lady Zamar, Prince Kaybee and Mafikzolo are not.

Everyone knows how heavy Emtee’s journey has been since ditching his former label, Ambitiouz Entertainment. So, when this question question was posed to him, our guy got a bit emotional.

Emtee made it very clear that this is a sensitive topic and that peeps should really have a bit of compassion before asking artists this question.
