It's about to get tense after Shebeshxt did a tell-all about his experience working with DJ Maphorisa.

In an interview on the L-Tido Podcast, the Limpopo revealed that not only is he being kept in the dark about the royalties for their song, Thwerka, but he also heard it on the release day like other fans and not exclusively.

Shebe told L-Tido that he has a lot of respect for Porry, but his shadiness made him question the kind of businessman he is.

Moreover, the rapper said he needs more knowledge of the music business, saying the royalties aren't as important to him.

Briefly News reported on the backlash Porry received after disclosing that artists who record in his studio forfeit their music rights to him.

Seeing that Thwerka was recorded in Maphorisa's studio, it's evident that Shebe should kiss those royalties goodbye.

Twitter (X) user VnatorB shared a short clip from the full interview:

"I don't like sugarcoating stuff, I tell the truth, and people hate me for that. I respect him a lot, and I'm not saying I want the split sheets; I just need knowledge.
