@Xollow said:

“He got paid for producing the song. He's just wants 'coldrink' money. Question is, if 'Ngudu' didn't make money, would he have refunded Kwesta?”

@majazztic said:

“He got paid for producing the song. He’s just mad that they didn’t think of him after the song’s success.”

@mlamuli_jeff said:

“That’s the thing, if you Listen to Makwa, Phori, Nota and Kwesta, there’s different versions of the story. Right now people are on Phori's side, same when the others speak. There’s the real truth. I won’t take Phori's word. Same as Makwa. Someone is lying.”

@simpienut2 said:

“That Kwesta kid also turned on Nyovest and became an AKA associate after Cass gave him a big break with a catchy verse on Ngud', he knows nothing about loyalty.”
