Nomcebo Zikode vs Open Mic Productions: ‘Jerusalema’ Singer Denies Solving Legal Problems With Record Label

• Nomcebo Zikode has rubbished the claims that she reached an agreement with Open Mic Productions
• The Jerusalema hitmaker and record label have been feuding ever since she accused them of exploitation
• Zikode issued a statement slamming the hearsays, and Mzansi blasted Open Mic Productions for failing to settle their disputes with their artists

Nomcebo Zikode has announced that her legal fight with Open Mic Productions is still ongoing.

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela shared the Grammy award-winning artists' media statement denying that she solved her issues with Open Mic Productions.

Nomcebo said that despite the court order she acquired in 2022 to reach a deal with the record company to settle their differences, Open Mic failed to honour it.

"We are unhappy with Open Mic's delay as we had jointly undertaken to adhere to clearly stipulated timelines on submission of all required information, which remains outstanding, thus prolonging the matter. Should this not be solved in the coming weeks, we are certain that we'll be going to court."

Why is Nomcebo Zikode feuding with Open Mic Productions?

According to News24, Nomcebo's public spat with Open Mic Productions began in 2021 when she accused them of exploitation. At the time, her song Jerusalema had taken over the world, but she was apparently not paid what was due to her.

The news publication added that Zikode also blasted Open Mic Productions in 2022 for deleting her Grammy award-winning song Bayethe from Spotify. In the track, she worked with Zakes Bantwini and Wouter Kellerman, and together they made history by winning the prestigious gong at the start of 2023.
