During the star's last appearance in court, his legal team asked the Magistrate to postpone the trial as Molemo was fully booked for the festive season, but Magistrate Betty Khumalo dismissed the request.

She said:

"Did you not consider consulting with me before suggesting a date for the proceedings? I've already made arrangements. I hope you understand that I am reluctant to alter my plans now. If you were aware that your client would be unavailable, the initial proposal for that date should have been avoided.
"If your client remains unavailable, a warrant of arrest may be issued, and it will be your responsibility to address it. The case is scheduled for December 11."

The rapper opened up about being in jail, where he revealed that it was not as movies made it seem:

"It was very devastating. What you think of prison, a million times more, it was bad. Prison doesn't care if you're Jub Jub, it's bad. It made me a better person. It made me wiser, I became closer to my ancestors and God.
"Prison is the only place that actually forced me to be alone, to reconnect with God and my ancestors because the life I was living, I had no time for what my ancestors wanted me to do, I had no time with God. It just brought me much closer."
