In another case where a young artist exposes alleged exploitation, an aspiring rapper named Scumie slammed Nasty C and Cassper Nyovest over non-payment. This follows her performance in the final leg of the rappers' African Throne Tour, where she mentioned she hasn't been paid for over a month.

Although Scumie received mostly backlash from calling the beloved rappers out publicly, it begs the question of how many other young artists have suffered the same fate.

The show's star-studded lineup included the likes of the Scorpion Kings, Maglera Doe Boy, Ms Cosmo and a young rapper named Scumie, who spoke about her experience working with Cassper and Nasty.

According to the Bank Account hitmaker, she signed a contract that promised payment seven days after the show. However, after reaching out countless times for over a month, Scumie vented on Twitter (X), saying she's yet to see her money:

"That Nasty C and Cassper tour is such a scam. I performed there and signed a contract saying payment would be made 7 days after the performance. It’s been a month & I haven’t received anything."

Scumie told Briefly News that Tlee Moiloa, who is Cassper's manager and business partner, reached out to her team to mend fences:

"Cassper’s manager called my manager apologising and saying they’ll pay but I’m still waiting."

Previously, Tlee addressed the lacklustre marketing brought up by fans of the tour, saying the event is completely independent.

Scumie went on to say that she has never experienced this kind of treatment, saying she feels undermined, and shared some tips for other young artists:

"Artists need to make performance contracts on their side, I learnt this from Costa Titch. If promoters don’t pay half the deposit before the show, then you will not be performing, finish.

Mzansi weighs in on Scumie's rant

Like clockwork, Scumie's revelations garnered thousands of interactions, with many negative responses targeted at the Jit rapper:

pipo_saI3 advised:

"The sad part is that you might not even make it in the game. I think before trashing the very same people who did you a huge favour, you have to call them in private."

Jaypee_TATworld said:

"Famo you had to reach out to them in private. It isn't on to bring it here because social media will turn your story into something else."

MLM_Sehlodimela wrote:

"Warra, knock is a knock, move on and focus on bettering your craft so you become less dependent on other artists."

On the other hand, some netizens encouraged the "Trap Star" to fight for her bag, with some exposing Cassper's alleged payment scandals:
