"The fact that Zahara had the leverage of taking such an expensive house and that the Bank approved it means that life was once great for Zahara. Even after TS records, she had a great deal with Universal Records because Zahara is very talented. Zahara had money and blew it away."

"OK, despite her claim that she is still owed money...How much was she paid in royalties this far? I am positive that amount was still enough to have paid up her house. At the height of Loliwe, there was a time Zahara booked for the whole week."
