According to Sunday World, Don Dada claims that he was paid R1,300 for 13 t-shirts after he was promised more money as Rossimoda grew. He also claims that they replaced him with a white designer and they began ignoring his calls.

Rossimoda denies Don Dada's allegations

On the other hand, Peter Lazarou says that they did not have a signature range with the influencer but that they sometimes hired him to assist with designs. Documents showed that in 2017, Don Dada received at least R239,606.66 until 13 June 2020. The R1 300 was included for 13 cycling tops sold in 2017 and other expenses which included a R20,000 music video. They also said that they had a good relationship with Don Dada and didn't feel the need to document all their dealings with him

The brand sent a letter demanding that the influencer should stop claiming that he created Rossimoda and its logo. Don Dada has since refused to take down any posts and is ready to face any legal consequences. He said:

“These people threaten me with legal action but they do not continue because they know the agreements we had. With Rossimoda it was a verbal agreement and this should also be valid. If they fail to understand this then my fans should know I have been exploited. My name was only used to draw them to the brand, yet there is nothing for us."
